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.
