  17. Interaction Goals Summary Interaction Results • Measurable Data History • AACE marked not only the major debut of the new exhibit but of a new comprehensive system for key meetings. Up to this point ABC Pharma employed the use of association-issued lead scanners. These scanners were located within all product areas and medical affairs where attendee’s badges were scanned for basic info. Although tracking was possible for each product group; the system could not establish the following: • Quality of interaction – message delivery with consistency and clarity. • Real time flagging of physicians presence on target list • Average time spent with ABC Pharma representative e-detail Pen Pod • e-detail Results • This “Return on Interaction” system was able to provide real time results with the ConventionLinkDirect! reporting. In addition to the above goals set e-detail was able to: • Create “in-booth sales calls” • Encourage convention follow-up via field sales • Post-show – provide true ROI calculation for cost evaluation after show AACE 2007

  18. Interaction Demographics Interaction Results 2007/2006 Lead Comparison The total number of leads in 2007 increased compared to 2006 despite the decrease in total meeting attendees.

Nearly 60% of all leads were captured on the first day of the show. AACE 2007

  21. Competitor Analysis Show Addendum • Highlighted Competition • Competitor 1 • One’s 20x30 exhibit was extremely crowded with both staff and property. The exhibit was dark, which did not make it very inviting. • They had 13 staff working the convention, including several Ambassadors to assist with traffic flow. • One also promoted Genotropin and Lyrica in this exhibit. • Competitor 2 • The 30x30 exhibit was mostly open and inviting. They were not visible from the front of the hall due to the ABC Pharma LED signage. • They had four selling stations with staff positioned near them at all times. Two devoted to Lantus and two allocated to Apidra. • Their staff dressed in business attire appeared primarily reactive and did not • proactively engage HCPs. • The core promotional piece was a Rx pad. AACE 2007

  22. Competitor 3 • The exhibit was similar in structure and color combinations to those observed at past events. • Four selling stations were arranged on the exhibit corners utilizing 42” plasma screens to display product information. Virtually no one was observed viewing them nor did the staff use them in their dialogues. • Three stations were dedicated to Three. • Exhibit staff tended to use the print materials to emphasize specific points while communicating with attendees. Show Addendum • Innovative and inviting custom exhibit property • High-tech e-detail e-detailing stations at aisles • Large-scale replicas of ABC Pens™ and • DEF Pens™ • Hospitality area served branded bottled water • and whole fresh fruit • Donation opportunity • Branded giveaways Debut Exhibit Layout & Photos • Exhibit was positioned at the only entrance to the Washington Convention Center’s exhibition hall. • The LED message screen welcomed attendees to the ABC Pharma experience providing a hierarchy of messaging. • The location was sufficiently set back from the doors to avoid the “zoom-past-fast” syndrome that is normally associated with this location. • The refreshment station was centrally located and encouraged access to detail and messaging areas. • Larger than life graphics that were eye-catching and provided effective hierarchy of messaging for the visitors. • Exhibit was open and inviting with 11 interaction areas without overcrowding. • Medical Affairs area was able to achieve the separation / identity from the rest of the booth with it’s position along a convex curved wall. • Integrity of design was not compromised and traffic flow was enhanced. AACE 2007

  23. Partner Evaluation Summary • What Worked • The LED screen was very attracting and • set the environmental mood of “change” and innovation. • Smaller, pedestal type • demonstration/presentation stations • Pods to accommodate overflow from • one station to another. • Branded towers on two sides of the • exhibit supplemented with individual • stations. This allowed the staff to engage • visitors on all four sides of the exhibit. • The refreshment station that was integral to the • flow of the exhibit providing access to detail and • messaging areas. • Larger than life graphics that were eye-catching • and provided for effective hierarchy of messaging • for the visitors. • Open and inviting environment Show Addendum • What Needs Attention / Recommendations • Have adequate staff for the number of demo stations offered • Create graphics that are benefit statement oriented vs. reprints of sales aids. • Have enough staff to act as floaters to pick up attendees who stop for a refreshment . • Make sure there is time set aside before the meeting/expo opens for every representative to walk through and get comfortable with the One World presentation. • Reduce the number of MSL personnel commiserating within the space for Medical and Scientific Affairs. AACE 2007

  24. Transmitting the report of findings • Keep your target in mind • Keep it as short as possible and still tell the story • Use both charts, graphics and prose • Deliver and present it in person, if possible • Organize a post show briefing • Deliver the results in person • Make the debrief the foundation for the next event

  25. Trade Show Work! When you, Plan Completely Execute Aggressively and Enthusiastically Follow-up Thoroughly
