MARKETING KIT

We want you to get the most out of BakingTECH 2023.

The information in this marketing kit will let your customers and prospective customers know you will be exhibiting at ASB’s MarketPlace 2023 being held during BakingTECH 2023, while also allowing you to customize each communication to promote your products, services, or areas of expertise.

The goal is to place your company name in front of attendees long before the event. The earlier you start using the elements in this kit, the more successful you’ll be at driving your target audience to your tabletop.

Use the links to find materials and suggestions to promote your participation in your email newsletters, social media, email signatures, and more.

QUICK TIPS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA SUCCESS

  1. Start your promotion as soon as you have signed up as an exhibitor at #bestweekinbaking #bakingtech2023! This will help build interest in your participation early, leading to greater interest by the time of the event. You don’t need to post heavily early on, but it’s great to kickstart the excitement once your engagement is confirmed.
  2. Plan your social media presence during the event. Who will be attending from your company? What will their roles be? How can they be involved in social media engagement? Involve the whole team if possible!
  3. 1 month out – step up your promotion. Start talking about what attendees can look forward to when connecting with you in Chicago. New products? New services? New insights?
  4. Make sure you use the official hashtag #bakingtech2023! Each conference has its own special hashtag to make finding and re-sharing content easy for everyone. Using the hashtag will ensure that attendees will see your posts and our social media team can more easily support your promotional efforts.
  5. Use a Social Media Dashboard. Planning the bulk of your social media posts before the actual event, using a social media dashboard like Hootsuite is very helpful. This will save you a lot of time when you are live during the event and busy interacting with the attendees.
  6. Don’t just rely on scheduled posts – live post as well. Posting as things happen will add some additional interest to your promotion and gives you more flexibility to capitalize on events that occur on the day.
  7. Be human and have a conversation. Use a natural voice in your posts – it should feel like your colleagues are speaking to the audience, not some corporate announcement. And make sure you reply to others’ posts when you can – remember, it is “social” media.
  8. Go multimedia. Use pictures and videos. The more interesting you can make your posts, both content-wise and visually, the more effective with will be for you.
