# Promote Your Presence

> Help us spread the word about FlightSimExpo

We encourage all event partners and exhibitors to promote FlightSimExpo on social media and directly to customers. Referrals to our website and social media from exhibitors have historically been very effective in growing the event.

## Before the Show

Start promoting long before the doors open! Exhibitors typically use a variety of methods based on what works best for their audience. A few ideas that are typically effective are listed below.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Post Regularly" icon="share-nodes">
    Don't just post once—build a "hype train". Share behind-the-scenes prep, booth sneak peeks, and reminders as the show gets closer.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Email Your Customers" icon="envelope-open-text">
    Let your customers and newsletter subscribers know you'll be at FlightSimExpo, where to find your booth, and what to expect.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Tease a Reveal" icon="sparkles">
    Save an announcement, product launch, or update for the show itself, and tease it in advance to give people a reason to stop by.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Cross-Promote" icon="retweet">
    Share and comment on FlightSimExpo's own announcements. It helps our audience see your involvement early and puts you on their radar.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Use the Official Hashtag" icon="hashtag">
    Tag your posts so attendees (and we) can find them. It's an easy way to get re-shared by FlightSimExpo and other partners.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Offer a Show-Only Perk" icon="star">
    A discount code, unique activation, or bonus only available at FlightSimExpo gives people an extra reason to visit your booth in person.
