5.0 out of 5 stars Help for harried trade show managers, February 22, 2005
By R. Bly (Dumont, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In the late 1970s, I managed trade show exhibits for a division of a Fortune 500 manufacturer. So I can say from first-hand experience that Ruth's book is filled on every page with exactly the kind of guidance and instructions a business needs to make its trade show exhibiting less stressful and more successful. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Specific Trade Show Strategies, November 16, 2005
If you are in marketing and you exhibit at trade shows, this book may change your behavior forever. Not only does it provide in-depth information about what trade shows can do and how they operate, but it also explains the financial structure you should put in place to determine whether participating in a trade show is worth your while financially. That may be bad news for corporate marketers who prefer to unpack their booth, buy the coffee and flowers, and hand out literature.
But if you want to turn a trade show appearance into a truly special corporate event, author Ruth Stevens has a game plan for you. Her book includes sample budgets, case studies, expense spread sheets, lead generation forms, checklists, survey ideas and a great appendix listing sources of additional information. It explains everything you need to know about the opportunities that trade shows offer and how you can use them to advance your marketing goals. We highly recommend this book to marketing managers of business-to-business companies who want to start getting solid returns from special events.
