Anyone can set up a booth and hand out business cards, but it takes a savvy networker to make solid contacts. Here are four tips for making the most out of your next tradeshow - all of which can be done with a simple promotional pen or pencil!

1. Build up some hype: Get in touch with your customers and other contacts in advance. Let them know you'll have a booth at the tradeshow and encourage them to attend. Leave them some promotional Bic Clic Stic pens (one of the top selling pens in the whole world!) as a reminder.
2. Stand guard at the door: Post a couple of representatives near the entrance. Be the first to greet visitors as they walk in the door. Hand them a Best Value Pencil with your business card attached and ask them to visit your booth.
3. Always attach a business card: Attach a business card to every promotional product you hand out. Potential clients can stick it in their rolodex - making them more likely to remember you (and contact you).
4. Reserve something special for the best leads: Appeal to the ego a bit with an exclusive promotional product just for top contacts. If you're handing out promotional pencils, reserve a high-end pen for the important visitors. For a handsome pen that belies its low price, check out the #1 Pen Deal On The Web.
   

With these four simple steps, you can maximize your tradeshow networking potential.
