Avoiding Trade Show Faux Pas
By:
Christopher Hosford - Inc.com
Six
tips exhibitors should know.
Bob Uhle
had a challenge on his hands. As director of sales and marketing for
a start-up called the Aviation Technology Group, it was his job to
build interest in and book deposits for the Javelin, the company's
slick new private jet. Competition in the private jet industry is
pretty intense, however, and buyers certainly have every reason to
eschew an unknown company. Further complicating ATG's efforts was
the fact that the business was still in the prototype stage and wouldn't
be able to deliver planes to customers until 2009. More

Some
PR tools to have on your side
Copyright Charles Lewton-Brain 1997 - Ganoskin
Parts of the following text were previously published in the
books 'Shareware' and 'Small Scale Photography' (Brain Press).
The
point is to survive and prosper as an artist or craftsperson.
This means that one has to deal with the basics of running a
small business, independent contracting, contracts and marketing.
It is the marketing that feeds one as no amount of wonderful
art work will pay the rent and purchase materials unless it
has a market. This does not mean one panders to taste-on the
contrary one is as true to oneself and one's art as possible
and only has to find the correct audience for it that will pay
to allow one to do what one wants. This is true whether one
is applying for grants, making wildly esoteric conceptual art,
landscape painting or creating sculpture and objects in a so-called
craft media. This means that you have to document by creating
images, generate photographs and text about what you do.
