Let’s start with the idea of your initial marketing strategy. There are many different aspects to a marketing campaign and it takes many pieces to make it complete. For instance there are direct marketing campaigns, email campaigns, mail, branding, graphic design and artwork, tradeshows and website design, not to mention marketing communications, public relations and advertising.

Cost effective exhibition stand

The first thing that your marketing manager can do for you and your company is come up with a branding strategy. By the end of this process you will know what your brand is and what the brand means to your customers. After the brand has been established, it is time to come up with your company’s core messages. These core messages can also be integrated into your advertising campaign and used when you are attending trade shows; banner stands are effective for placing such ads. But do not approach the public and potential partners without having your corporate and product messages in place beforehand. If you do, you run the risk of looking like an amateur player in a mature market with established brands with years of effective marketing and advertising behind them. Once all your messages are established, it is time to build an effective ad campaign. There are many advertising companies that offer services from newspaper placement to television commercials. But this all depends on your budget.

Creative marketing strategy

Television ads and ads in high circulation magazines will cost quite a bit of money even on the short term, but they are generally successful. A very affordable way to advertise is through pop up displays. Pop ups can be used at trade shows, events, at point of purchase, or in high pedestrian areas of the store. They are also a great complement to your other marketing initiatives, whether that be direct mail or internet commerce. Advertising displays are also easy to design and order over the internet. All you need to do to make this an effective marketing tool is to have a graphic designer create your ad artwork, upload that art to a site that specializes in making banner stands, then commission the site to build the display and send it to you wherever you are, at the office, the store or on the trade show floor.
