ATTENDEE POSTAL MAILING
One of the best ways to enhance your company's impact at the 2013 Mid-America Trucking Show is to promote your company with pre-show and post-show mailings. Prior to the show, targeted mailings can promote company products and services, highlight new products and services, outline changes within the company and increase booth traffic by describing booth location, activities and offerings. After the show, Exhibitors can use a post-show mailing to get in touch with Attendees that may have missed their booth or to provide additional information regarding products displayed at the show.
We offer the names and contact information of registered Attendees on a rental basis to our exhibiting companies to help with their pre-show and post-show marketing.
