Topic: Why Trade Shows Beat Social Media for Inventors (ASD Market Week Preview)

from Invent America Podcasts with America's Inventor Lady, Rita Crompton, and the Cajun Contractor, Michael King, Founder of HomeTalkUSA · host Rita Crompton

Is social media marketing a dead end for inventors? In this episode of Invent America, we argue that you can accomplish more in three days at a trade show than in six months online. Join host Michael King and "Americs's nventor Lady" Rita Crompton (broadcasting from the beach in Hawaii!) as they discuss the upcoming ASD Market Week. We are joined by product placement expert Kevin Cody and ASD’s VP of Buyer Relations, Stephanie Behring-Hale, to break down why "keyboard magic" can’t replace a handshake. In this episode, we cover: -- The ROI of Face-to-Face: Why buyers need to see, touch, and demo your invention to truly understand it. -- The "Watch" Rule: How to know instantly if your sales pitch is failing. -- The Hub: The new networking and education center at ASD Market Week covering everything from AI to purchasing. -- Real Success Stories: From a fire escape modeled after airplane chutes to a new device teaching infants how to suck. Don't rely on algorithms to sell your product. Get back to the basics of relationships and trust. #Inventing #ASDMarketWeek #ProductLaunch #RetailStrategy #InventorLadyHosted on Ausha.
