Think according to your destination.

If you’re heading to China, your communication plans may change with limited accessibility to websites such as  facebook and even google. Launching a product in India will be different than in Russia. Fortunately, event marketing practices differ international, and knowing these finer details turns obstacles into opportunities. Each place around the world is comprised of completely different cultures, and the way you market yourself to potential clients requires time and careful research. Spending time to design your program with your target audience in mind will increase ROI.

Secure a good team for your trip.

Look for partners that embrace global opportunities, and understand its importance for an expanding business. Before bringing on new team members abroad who are experienced in the area, find a way to also bring those already dedicated to your brand and those who take part in daily operations. After all, they are the best people to represent you. See if you can use your team to your brands advantage.

Keep an open mind while abroad.

While selecting partners, and participating in the event remember that inspiration comes from around you. Allow yourself to become absorbed in competitor brands and learn from them. Build meaningful connections with as many people as you can. Every interaction and experience has the ability to offer you perspective, giving you the chance to grow as an organization.

Expanding your brand into a new realm of possibility may be overwhelming, but it is one of the best tools for growth.

James, Jamilyn and the Beaumont crew really came through for us on a last minute booth rental request. We had a show in Atlanta and they turned around the project in less than 3 weeks, handling all logistics, setting us up in a professional looking booth and responding quickly to all our questions along the way. Looking forward to working with Beaumont for future conferences.

From concept to follow through, the team at Beaumont got it right! I was thrilled with the collaboration to see our vision come to life – all with the an excellent collection of support. James and Karen with great to work with and did well to keep the ball moving and ensure we made it to the finish line promptly.

Our 20FT Linear had a custom die-cut logo and digital interfaces, that deployed in Ottawa at the RIMS Canada Conference. We were a show stopper to say the least. When the time comes for another project, I know where I’ll be going!

Trying to plan a trade show in Brussels while being located in the US was nerve-wracking, but finding Beaumont & Co. and Luciana, made it much easier! Luciana went above and beyond when there were shipping mishaps and made sure that we received our booth on a tight timeline. The quality of the booth was great and easy to put together. They really work to meet your needs.
