Also, we have included some tips that will help you with your Member Spotlight experience…

Member Spotlight Tips: Promote!Consider sending out announcements to existing and potential customers/clients to help create interest in the event and draw more attendees. If you use social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc…) consider letting your audience know you’re going to be there and encourage them to attend.

Stand, don't sit…

This event is within a short period of time to catch the attendee’s attention! If you're sitting, you could give the impression that you don't care about the attendees and aren't excited about your own business. If you must sit, be engaging and approachable! We do not provide chairs for this reason, however if you request a chair, we can accommodate you, we just ask that you please let us know prior to the event if you need a chair for your table.

Greet Everyone…A simple "hello" and a smile as the attendees pass by your booth could entice them to stop. Don’t let your body language turn people away from your table. You don’t get another chance to make a first impression.

Turn off your cell phone…This allows you to give your full attention to the attendees stopping by or passing by your table

**Remember: Move in times are between 1:00 – 4:15 p.m. All booths must be set-up and ready to go no later than 4:30 p.m. The Spotlight begins at 5:00 p.m.

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, April 21!
