THE SUSTAIN SMART BUSINESS AWARDS

Be Acknowledged, Be Rewarded, Be Smart. Put your best foot forward at Sustain and get the most out of your investment in the show.

Sustain and Ron McDermott, Australia’s foremost exhibition trainer and Sustain Exhibition Coach, have created a series of awards to encourage and acknowledge those who have demonstrated great skills in promotion, sales and design and show new ideas so that others may learn. Everyone is a winner.

All exhibitors are automatically entered free of charge. Size, experience and financial expenditure have no bearing on how successful you can be - it’s all relative. It’s what you put in that creates what you get out. The Awards will be judged during Sustain Traders Oceania on the Friday and announced at a brief awards ceremony shortly after the show closes on Friday evening.

Award Categories & Judging Criteria:

Exhibit Design

• Does my exhibit communicate who I am, what I do and what’s on offer – with simplicity?
• Does my exhibit stand out from the crowd?
• Have I utilised colour, height, movement and engaged the senses?
• Is there sufficient exhibit space to engage my visitors?

Promotion Activities

• Am I handling promotional products or special offers skillfully?
• Am I offering new ideas, products or experiences?

Visitor Engagement

• Am I dressed for success?
• Am I effectively reaching out and relating to my visitors?
• Am I presenting a compelling, memorable message?
• Am I recording leads, sales or other outcomes properly?

Good luck!
