6 Reasons to Invest Your Marketing Dollars in Exhibiting at Small Business Expo

1. Our Attendees are Buyers, Not Browsers.  Decision-makers are in the room.

80% of attendees have buying authority. Ads only generate impressions. Exhibiting generates meetings with actual decision-makers and buyers.

2. Marketers Rank Events #1 for Lead Gen

60% of B2B marketers say in-person events are the most effective for lead generation. 25% named trade shows as their top spending priority (above digital ads).

3. They Come to Shop, Not Browse

92% attend specifically to see new products/services. Trade show attendees are in active ‘evaluation & purchase’ mode—unlike passive digital ad audiences.

4. Fresh Pipeline

67% of attendees are new prospects to exhibitors. Reach entirely new buyers who aren’t in your CRM yet—without paying Google/Meta premiums.

5. Budget Confidence

Exhibitions already capture 41% of B2B marketing budgets—more than any single marketing channel.

6. Lower Cost to Acquire Customers

Faster closes: 3.5 calls to close a trade show lead vs. 4.5 otherwise, and 30% lower cost to close.

 

Marketing Channel ROI Comparison

Small Business Expo

Meet decision-makers face-to-face, capture high-intent buyers, and cover booth cost with just 1–2 deals.

Social Media Ads (Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn)

Good for awareness, but users are scrolling — not actively shopping. CPC costs are rising.

Google Ads

Can capture searches, but costly ($20–$50 CPC) and often produces low-quality form-fill leads.

TV Advertising

Mass reach, but no targeting, passive audience, and ROI is nearly impossible to track.

Radio Advertising

Local reach with broad consumer audience — not B2B buyers. Awareness only, no direct leads.  ROI hard to track.

Other Niche Trade Shows

Networking within one vertical, but limited scale, smaller audiences, and higher booth costs.

Bottom Line:

Exhibiting at Small Business Expo delivers face-to-face access to decision-makers, high-intent leads, and measurable ROI that no other channel can match. No other marketing channel beats face-to-face marketing.
