How Was Your Meal?

OCTOBER 13, 2015
After a recent delightful dining experience, I thought about what made it special.  I soon realized that the principles of the 'Seven Ps of Exhibiting' were the same for the restaurant.  The Seven Ps, as explained in my June 28, 2011 blog (see www.SouthernShows.com/blog) are the things that an exhibitor has to get right to have a successful show. Here's how they applied to the restaurant:
  • Price - it was a good value
  • Product - the food was delicious
  • Pre-promotion - they ran an ad that let me know about them, and then lived up to the ad
  • Presentation - the décor, the table, and the way the meal was presented, were all great
  • Personality - the wait staff was friendly
  • Professionalism - the wait staff was knowledgeable and helpful
  • Follow up - when leaving, they thanked me for being there, asked if I would like to be included on their email list so I knew about special events and discounts.
Think about your favorite restaurant, and what they do to keep you coming back.  Then try to apply that recipe to your next exhibit.
