Lead Generation

“The results we get after the show usually come in sales. We offer a show special that’s good for 15 days and we get a lot of sales after the fact. We’ll also take a list home with us, of people who visited the booth, and we’ll do outbound reaches to them, and we’ll get sales later on. That’s where the ROI comes in.”

Customer Feedback / Market Research

“We get the marketing department down here, we get to talk directly to our customers, and sales can hear additional feedback. Then we have our product development folks who also do the user experience testing. Between the three departments, we get really great feedback from our customers and prospects.”

Network & Build Relationships

“The benefit of exhibiting at MATS is that we get to meet our customers face to face. The most customers in one place that we can find. We have a separate meeting room here that we bring customers and non-customers in, and we do scientific user experience testing to see how they like our new designs to see which is the best for our upcoming product releases. We get a lot of benefits from coming to MATS.”
