People put products on the market every day. People fail every day too. Consumers are overwhelmed with blinkies and emails and popups that tell them to buy this or buy that. Without the proper product launch, without a substantial amount of buzz and attention for the product launch, your product will be lost in the 3,456 page of a Google search. There are three basic steps to generating buzz around a product and taking those steps can send your product launch into the stratosphere.

Step one: Get in touch with your social media side. If you aren’t already on Twitter or Facebook then get there. Set up an account on YouTube. Start sending out messages about the “product you are developing” like little teasers. Maybe even ask others for input on what they think your product should include, or do, or offer. People love feeling involved. Society is stimulated by a variety of forms of media so don’t be afraid to create a simple YouTube video talking about your product or maybe just an audio podcast.

Step two: Now that you’ve teased about your product, let someone have it. Put your product in the hands of a few people. Bloggers are a great source of buzz. Find a blogger whose readers are in your target audience and offer them a free product for honest review and one to giveaway. Entry into blog contests like this often require readers to visit your company site and come back to comment on the blog about something they like or something they read. It also generates additional tweets and posts on Facebook all linking to your product. When the giveaways are over you will have several “social proofs” (testimonials) to use in your actual product launch. You’ve also generated anticipation since they were offering out a product not yet available.

Step three: Simple economics. If you can’t limit the quantity being offered up front then limit the time frame that it’s being offered at a “deal”. People can’t stand it when it’s scarce. They jump to make sure they don’t miss out.

Get your product into the social media streams, generate positive feedback with a few freebies for review and then make them think there is a limit to the availability. These are the three keys to generating buzz for your product launch.

2011 has been a good year for the trade show industry with significant growth in activity and sales revenues compared to 2010. The industry has yet to recover to the pre-2009 levels however, but the metrics are all pointing in a positive direction.

Advance space bookings demonstrate a significant improvement for 2012 over 2011, which will give welcome respite to hard-pressed venues which saw their margins cut in 2011.  No matter, the advance booking system used by trade show venues has ensured that there has been a smoothing effect on costs and revenues, which in turn has sheltered the industry from the worst of the recessionary impact.

Trade show exhibitors are also up on 2011 compared to 2010, and the forecast into 2012 is for this trend to continue. This is bolstered by the fact that the US economy has not dipped back into recession, i.e. negative growth in the economy, but has maintained a growth trend. One blimp on the horizon is that 2012 growth forecasts have been trimmed back, with the US economy forecast to grow by only 0.8% in 2012. The key point to note here is that we are growing and not falling back, and after the worst recession since the Great Depression more than 60 years ago, that is exceptionally welcome news.

Trade show visitors were also up in 2011; though again the numbers have not recovered to pre-recession levels (2008 appears to be the high water mark). Nevertheless, we expect visitors to continue to grow into 2012 as we slowly emerge from the economic mire. The fact that visitor numbers is increasing is probably the very best news of all for 2012: while budgets and bookings for exhibitors have been shielded by the advance booking system which operates within the trade show niche, visitors to exhibitions face no such decision conundrum. They are much more sensitive to economic and budgetary pressures than trade show venues and exhibitors – if a company cuts a travel budget for staff to attend an exhibition, visitors simply do not materialize at venues.

Overall, the trade show niche can expect to see steady growth across the board leading up to Q2 2012, and thereafter we expect to see more generous growth numbers in Q3 2012 and thereafter.
