The Season of Giving …

The Season of Giving ...The season of giving isn’t just around the holidays. Charitable programs can be year-round in the tradeshow industry. They can give your company a good name, your team a generous spirit, and create an exhibit experience that attendees will love to support.

Time is Money
Consider asking attendees for 10 minutes of their time in exchange for a donation to an industry charity. For example, they spend 10 minutes watching your demonstration and you will donate $5 to the charity. You increase your chances of creating a longer engagement with a charitable appeal like this. Most people like to contribute to a charitable organization and it’s a great extra incentive to get them to participate in your demo.

Take One. Give One.
Do you have a product sample that a charity could benefit from? Consider allowing your attendees to select samples for donation to a local charity. And, maybe even allow them to select their preferred charity from a list.

Post-show Donations
Review your exhibit program. Before you consider leaving items behind on the tradeshow floor or shipping them back, could a local charity use it more? Workstations could be receptions desks or new office desks. Examine how re-packaging your hospitality could allow you to donate unused beverages and snacks to local groups instead of disposing of it. If you have a large national program, consider working with a national organization so you can make donations for each of your show stops.
