DESCRIPTION

Trade shows are now more expensive than ever, and it can often be difficult to justify the cost. John Matera, Director of Marketing for RedTail Solutions, explains how Pardot helped RedTail make their two biggest annual trade show appearances more productive and cost effective than in previous years. RedTail was able to maximize marketing opportunities in several areas including pre-show promotion, show- specific print collateral, on-floor promotions, meeting appointments, contests, and post-show follow-up.
