Sales Tip: Inform customers of upcoming trade shows

When planning to attend a trade show, let your customers know well in advance.

When planning to attend a trade show, let your customers know when the show is and that you will ask any questions they have of the manufacturers who are attending. This would be a good email blast topic once or twice before the show. It will also give your customers a heads-up that you will be gone for a few days and paying in advance would be appreciated.
