Review

I have to admit that exhibiting is not usually in my top 5 marketing recommendations for most of my clients. They can be costly, a waste of time and demotivating when you compare yourself to the "big players" who exhibit with flash, expensive stands. But in this book, Exhibit! Fiona takes you through all the essential steps to ensure your exhibition could actually be one the most effective marketing strategies you take this year. Getting in front of potential clients is critical to the majority of businesses today - big and small. And if you are considering in investing in an exhibition then I have to say this is an absolute "must-read" to make sure the money you spend results in paying clients. --Karen Skidmore, 2009

What a read! Practical, honest, easy to follow advice about exhibitions.
`Exhibit!' really guides you step by step on how to get the most out of exhibiting. All the information comes directly from Fiona who has hands on experience and knows what it takes to be successful and make exhibitions one of the most important decisions you make to grow and sustain your business. You must read this book if you have exhibited, visited or just a vague thought in your head - because it really will change your mind and focus on whats important.  Well done Fiona, looking forward to book 2! --James Webster We doubled our sales this year at the Designer Wedding Show in February, and the marketing advice that Fiona and Caroline gave me definitely contributed to this. --Clare Yarwood-White

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic advice that's easy to use and will save you a bundle of money 7 Sep 2010
By Scott
Format:Paperback
My small company is planning to exhibit for the first time ever at a high-profile event in the UAE. Where to start? Panic? Appoint a 'consultant' to do all the work - and spend even more money? Or just not bother as it's going to cost a bundle of my time and money?

Well, I started with Exhibit! and I'm very glad that I did. Not only is the book enjoyable to read and the information easy to absorb, it's certainly helping my company save a significant sum of money and time and it certainly got me thinking about how to help exhibition visitors come to us ahead of other corporate training companies exhibiting at the same event.

If you invest in Exhibit! you have a fantastic opportunity to differentiate your company from others, attract more clients and save money too. If you don't invest in this book, you'd better hope that your competitor on the next stand hasn't either. Because if they have, you've got a BIG problem!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exhibit! The SME's guide to using exhibitions to grow your business 10 Mar 2010
By D. Herbing
Format:Paperback
The advice in Fiona Humberstone's Exhibit! proved to be invaluable in producing our exhibition plan for our first time of exhibiting at the National Wedding Show, London Olympia this February. As a fairly new company and never having exhibited at an event like this before, this book had so many great ideas. I think without this book and the advice from Fiona, the exhibition would not have been the success that it was.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a 'must read' for any business planning to exhibit 9 Mar 2010
By Nicholas Taimitarha
Format:Paperback
If you've decided to showcase your business at an exhibition then this book will definitely help you achieve a real return on your investment. It's a no nonsense, practical and easy to read book that gives you all the advice and tips you'll need to ensure that you achieve your business goals when exhibiting. What I really like is the way Fiona covers all aspects of exhibiting and how to avoid the mistakes so many companies make. I organise a big annual Expo at Twickenham Stadium and we bought a copy of this book for each exhibitor. After the event we asked for their feedback and all of them found the Exhibit! book really useful. Highly recommended.
