ARDA World 2015 is Just About Here….Ready, Set, Go!
By Sharon Scott
The annual timeshare industry convention is almost here—and for many,
that means making sure your business get the maximum exposure even before the
Exhibit Hall opens. Here are three quick tips from ARDA’s Resort Operations
Council:
#1: Get the Word Out
Hopefully by now, you have spread the word that your business and
business representatives will be there through email blasts, newsletters,
advertisements in timeshare publications and social media posts. Notify
customers, properties and prospects ahead of time the location of your booth in
the Exhibit Hall and schedule as many appointments as you can in advance.
#2: Plan Ahead
It goes without saying that planning ahead is a crucial part of making
ARDA World a successful business trip. From assembling the right sales team to
staff your booth to creating the right marketing materials for display and
trying out any new products, planning in advance is always well worth your
time!
#3: Engage & Interact
Once Convention begins, do your best to connect with the thousands of
other timeshare industry professionals during the many meeting opportunities,
networking events, sponsor parties, Exhibit Hall, educational sessions, and
conversations in the hallways.
See
you next month in Orlando!
