Salesman or show host? » Exhibition City News
Larry Kurcharwick The most powerful factor in the success of an exhibition is the power of face-to-face got engaged. When communicating face-to-face, eye contact is more effective than any other form of communication because it allows people to use verbal and non-verbal cues to convey meaning.

This is an opportunity to communicate more than just words, with both speaker and audience observing and adjusting based on body language and expressions. Whether it's an exhibition presenter or a one-on-one discussion at a trade show, face-to-face discussions can enhance emotions. Emotion is a factor that drives purchasing decisions, provided the buyer's needs are rationalized as positive. Live demonstrations at trade shows can be a powerful tool to grab attention. Most of the time, the appeal of stopping and listening has nothing to do with the product or service being sold. The initial appeal is entertainment, which…
