Industry Context

Supply chain trade shows have gained prominence as companies recognize logistics as a competitive advantage. Automation, sustainability, and resilience are the themes driving booth traffic. Exhibitors offering solutions to these challenges command premium attention.

For exhibitors at Corrugated Week, understanding this landscape is critical. The companies that generate the highest return on their trade show investment are those that align their booth strategy with the broader industry conversation happening on the show floor.

Planning Your Exhibit

Booth Selection and Design

Booth space at Corrugated Week is priced at approximately $1,000 - $5,000. When selecting your position on the floor plan, prioritize locations near entrances, food service areas, and anchor exhibitors. Corner booths offer visibility from multiple aisles and are worth the premium when available.

Design your space around a single, compelling message. Attendees walking the floor will give your booth approximately seven seconds of attention before deciding whether to stop. That message needs to be visible from thirty feet away and immediately relevant to their business challenges.

Staffing Your Booth

Staff selection can make or break your exhibition. Choose team members who combine product expertise with genuine interpersonal skills. The ideal booth staffer can qualify a prospect within two minutes, pivot their pitch based on the visitor's specific needs, and capture contact information without breaking conversational flow.

Brief your team on specific objectives for Corrugated Week. Assign roles: greeter, product demonstrator, senior closer. Rotate positions every two hours to maintain energy levels throughout the day.

"The most successful exhibitors treat trade shows as revenue-generating events, not marketing expenses. Every interaction should move a prospect closer to a decision."

Post-Show Strategy

The real work begins after the show closes. Research consistently shows that exhibitors who follow up within 48 hours convert leads at significantly higher rates than those who wait. Prepare your follow-up sequences before the event, categorize leads by temperature on the show floor, and execute the moment you return.

Use a lead capture tool like Scannly to digitize contacts instantly at your booth, eliminating the post-show data entry bottleneck that causes so many promising leads to go cold.
