tips and tricks, grown up stuff, business tips

Trade Shows provide amazing opportunities for brand marketing and many businesses want to shine on it. Getting enormous attention during these shows give a brand a leverage for exposure and getting new clients. Over the years, various schemes were formulated to make a brand standout during trade shows for the sole purpose of gaining new customers. Some succeed and some fail miserably. The right balance of creativity and logic is required mixed together with an ingenious marketing strategy must be met to make the best out of every show attended. Fortunately, it does not require rocket science to catch big attention during trade shows. There are simple things that if done right may give you the results you need.

Today, various marketing techniques are being used during trade shows and many are proving to be effective. Here are some of them:

Don’t Stay Inside the Booth

Being chained to your booth is a good way to let potential customers slip. Get out there and do the marketing. The percentage of people visiting your booth and start asking questions is slimmer than going with the crowd to hunt for your potential clients. Try to devise strategies that involve going around and encouraging people to either visit your booth or getting to know your brand. You will cover more area, which means more chances of getting more new clients.

Fidget Spinners on the Table

You know how much people are drawn into fidget spinners lately and taking advantage of this to make them come to you is a smart idea. There are incredible fidget spinners for promotions from iPromo that you can use to lure in potential clients. You may also use other promotional items that are equally appealing.

Offer a Fun Experience

It’s not about who has the biggest booth that people remember, it is the one who gave them the best experience. Plan out some fun tricks and games that booth visitors will really enjoy. It should be easily associated with your products or services for higher marketing hits. Play around and take risks. No one became successful by playing too safe. The grander and fun it is, the more people will gather around you and more potential customers could be possibly converted into new clients.

Invest in a Good Display

Again, it is not about the size, it is also about presentation. Make it a point to invest generously in your display to make it more attractive even from afar. Good design sets the stage for you and you need to take advantage of it.

Market in Advance

To ensure that more people will come to your booth, advertise in advance. Send out emails, do posts in social media and other tricks to get attention even before the trade show officially begins. You will be one that people will look forward to.

There are a lot of ways to get attention, but you can’t do everything at once. Choose the strategies that are perfect for your brand and marketing strategy to get the most out of every trade show you participate in.

dressing to the nines

fashion, kids fashion, grown up stuff, tips and tricks

It might probably take a few more years before you see me dress to the nines. If I would have my way I’d rather be dressed in my favorite ensemble of a comfy tee and a shorts, with my worn-out pair of trainers, to boot!

Of course, special occasions later on in life might leave me with no other option but to put one of those uncomfortable dress shirt or that 3-piece suit, for example, on. Some of these occasions include  school graduations, my first communion, or, I don’t know, a wedding or two, perhaps. I might have to be forced to put on my Sunday best just so I won’t look under-dressed or out-of-place in a place teeming with beautifully-dressed people.

I thought weddings are always a good excuse to dress up. I was the ring-bearer to my tita‘s wedding and even when I had to wear this itchy barong for several hours, I absolutely enjoyed the experience + the thrill of walking down the aisle with my family.

If you think about it, it probably isn’t a bad idea to dress up when the situation calls for it. A button-down long-sleeved shirt paired with a nice slacks in darker shade will probably do the trick. Add a pair of loafers {or a dark slip-ons, if I can pull it off!} + I shall be all set!

a lovely wedding dress am sure mum will love

Dressing up for girls, on the other hand, can be rather complicated. I know that apart from taking too long to choose which dress to try out first + buy, they have quite a number of things to take into consideration, like the color and style of the dresses that would best suit their complexion + their body type, or which pieces of jewelry to go with that dress, for instance. It will be quite an episode am sure. + we have not even talked about shoes!

Anyways, I think the key to dressing to the nines successfully is simply to choose the items that not only look good on you, but those that make you the most comfortable, too. Add to that just the right amount of self-confidence + you’ll be good to go!

Move to Singapore with Kids. But, read this first…

kids, travel, tips and tricks

As the world is well-aware, Singapore is a good choice for immigrants who have kids to move to. With much-needed cleanliness and health care advancements, it boasts lots of activities that aren’t found in any other country. The immigration consultancy in Singapore One Visa states the country has top-notch public transport and has ranked Singapore as the best in life quality it offers. If you’re planning on such a move, read this article to know more about the subject matter…

Arranging Babysitters

Most of the expatriates in Singapore are found to be recruiting maids for aiding them with their household matters. We can see that it’s quite inexpensive to hire these people when compared to their recruitment in other parts. But, the issue here is that you won’t get them very easily, as part-time workers aren’t easily found, so it’s vital to find someone as early as possible; otherwise, you should look for some childcare centers in your neighborhood.

It’s Hot!

The most important thing to consider before getting a dependant pass for your family is the heat. As the place is just one degree North of the equator, sun rays are found to hit at their hardest. Unimaginably, the temperature will be twenty-five to thirty-three degrees and the humidity is above the nineties! This is something that is unbearable to most outsiders, especially those from the West; therefore, it’s wise to seek a house with a pool. Whenever you find a condo, be sure to check whether it has friendly amenities for your kids. Also, learn how to beat the heat by reading some expat articles and journals that are found online.

No Doubt about Fun

There are some water play areas in and around the city, which can be a good destination for the kids. There are also some stores specifically designed for kids inside shopping malls. Besides these, there are other destinations like ‘Gardens by the Bay’ where there is a huge playing area with lots of equipment. You can also take them kiting and bike riding at various places, and yes, there is a Botanic Gardens, theme parks, zoos, studios, and a lot more.

Networking with Expat Parents

One of the best ways to learn about expat parenting is to network with other parents; they are the best people to share their experiences with. This applies to those who are first-time visitors and I’d ask you to take the right path and form a network of parents like you. You can even become a member of some clubs specific to your home country. This exposure will educate you a lot about life in Singapore.

Quality Education

If you’re the parent of an older child, education is a big concern. Here, you need not worry about quality education because it’s popular for offering top education all over the globe. Your child will be able to achieve a lot while, at the same time, being groomed up as a well-behaved human. But, the issue is about the competition. The popular schools are in huge demand and you should contact them as early as possible.

Given the reasons cited above, I guess it is safe to assume that Singapore is, indeed, a good place to move to if you have children. Personally, I look forward to visiting the place one day with mum and dad, and see the zoo, the Botanic Gardens, the Flyer, and Universal Studios! 🙂
