Podcasts about trade shows

One of the biggest questions subscription box owners ask is: Where do I find products for my box? There's no single “right” answer because the best sourcing strategy depends on where you are in your business journey.  In this quick Friday Fuel episode of The Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm breaking down three key sourcing methods - wholesale, trade shows, and manufacturing - and showing you how each one fits a different stage of subscription box growth. Stage 1: Just Getting Started. Start with Wholesale If you're still prepping for launch or working toward your first 50–100 subscribers, wholesale is your best friend. It's flexible, affordable, and helps you learn what your audience loves without over-committing. Why it works: Low minimums let you order small quantities. Fast turnaround means you can ship quickly. It's the easiest way to test different product types. Challenges with wholesale: Smaller profit margins. Less exclusivity. Limited branding options Stage 2: You've Launched. Trade Shows & Curated Finds Once you've launched and built momentum, it's time to elevate your box. Trade shows and curated wholesale marketplaces help you discover unique, small-batch, and boutique items that give your box that “wow” factor. Why it works: You'll find more distinctive products. Meeting vendors face-to-face often leads to better pricing or exclusivity. You can start building your signature brand style. Challenges with trade shows and curated marketplaces: Travel costs and larger order requirements. Longer lead times mean planning boxes further ahead. Stage 3: Ready to Scale. Manufacturing When your subscription is stable and you're ready to increase margins or stand out even more, manufacturing can be a game-changer. But there are two levels to consider: Option 1: Stock Product from Manufacturers Buy from manufacturer catalogs and add your own branding or packaging. This is a great bridge between wholesale and full custom. Pros: better margins, faster turnaround, and the ability to add your own brand touches. Cons: limited product selection and minimal exclusivity. Option 2: Full Custom Manufacturing Design your own products from scratch for total control and differentiation. Pros: complete customization, higher perceived value, stronger brand identity. Cons: higher minimums, longer timelines, and bigger upfront costs. Sourcing Is a Journey, Not a Jump You'll probably use all of these sourcing methods at some point: Start with wholesale. Grow into trade shows. Add manufacturer stock for better margins. Move to custom products when you're ready. Take Action Identify your current sourcing stage and make one move this week that aligns with it: New? Order your first wholesale products. Growing? Research an upcoming trade show or apply for a wholesale marketplace account. Scaling? Reach out to a manufacturer and ask about their minimums. Every step forward brings you closer to the box and the brand you're meant to build. Join me for this episode, where I'll help you figure out which sourcing strategy fits your stage of business and how to take the next step with confidence.

Most exhibitors spend nearly half their budget just getting to the show floor—booth space, travel, shipping, services. By the time the event starts, there's almost nothing left for strategy or measurement.That's how event marketing gets stuck in the “cost of doing business” trap. The result? Overbooked schedules, flat ROI, and event teams that feel more like order takers than growth drivers.In this conversation, Matt Kleinrock and Pablo Gonzalez break down the numbers, the hidden inefficiencies, and the bigger picture. They share how to rethink events like a business unit, not a checkbox, so every dollar is tied to real value, pipeline, and progress.You'll learn how to:✅ Rebalance your event spend to prioritize what actually drives results✅ Make your case internally for fewer, better events that deliver measurable ROI✅ Turn data and alignment into your biggest budget leversListen in for a no-BS breakdown of where event money really goes and what to do about it.----------------------------------Connect with Pablo GonzalezLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pablotheconnector/  Connect with Matt KleinrockLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/  Company: https://rockwayexhibits.com/

But most event strategies still haven't caught up.That's why in this episode, Matt Kleinrock and Pablo Gonzalez go rapid-fire through the “new laws of events”—from connection over content, to why five-week registration windows change everything, to how matchmaking, negotiation, and follow-up drive real ROI.You'll learn what's really driving successful events right now:✅ Why connection trumps content and how the best events mix both to create community✅ How to adapt when people commit later and planning windows keep shrinking✅ Why the real ROI happens after the show once data and follow-up kick inListen in for a no-fluff conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about running events.----------------------------------Connect with Pablo GonzalezLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pablotheconnector/  Connect with Matt KleinrockLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/  Company: https://rockwayexhibits.com/

Event marketers talk about personalization a lot. We slap a name on a badge, segment an email list, and call it a day.But attendees want more than that. They want to feel seen: from the first invite, to the way a session is designed, to the follow-up that lands after the show. That's the kind of personalization that creates loyalty, accelerates deals, and turns an event into something people don't forget.That's why on this episode, Jody Hall (Director, Global Event Management at Labcorp) and Michelle Khair (Event Coordinator at Argen Corporation) get real about what's working.Join them as they talk about:✅ How intentional design keeps personalization clear and focused✅ What it means to “architect moments that matter”✅ Where AI supports personalization without replacing the human touchListen in for a conversation that cuts through the noise and shows what true personalization looks like in practice.----------------------------------Connect with ThemJody Hall: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodyahall/Michelle Khair: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-khair-766066169/Connect with Matt KleinrockLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/Company: https://rockwayexhibits.com/

Events aren't just about logistics anymore. They're about results. And while event planners know how to deliver flawless execution, companies now need marketers who understand pipeline, customer journeys, and human connection.But too many organizations still treat events as one-off experiences instead of demand engines.

From Fashion Dreams to Boutique RealityWhat happens when your fashion dreams collide with the reality of motherhood and entrepreneurship? In this captivating conversation, Kelly Kirk welcomes Allyson, the creative force behind Ali Madi Boutique, who shares her extraordinary journey from corporate professional to successful fashion entrepreneur.Allyson's story begins with an epiphany during her morning commute when she realized she wasn't dreaming big enough. Despite no formal training, she pursued her lifelong passion for fashion design through late-night research sessions after putting her young children to bed. Her determination paid off spectacularly when her second collection was selected for Macy's in Beverly Hills through a Poshmark contest—an achievement most designers spend decades working toward.But the path wasn't without significant valleys. Allyson candidly reveals how she prepared an entire collection for the wrong selling season at a trade show, leaving her with inventory she couldn't sell for six months. Then COVID struck just as she was pivoting to wholesale. These setbacks, rather than destroying her business, became transformative opportunities that reshaped her entire business model. Through tears, determination, and flexibility, she found unexpected success by listening to what the universe was guiding her toward.What makes this conversation truly special is Allyson's wisdom about harmonizing motherhood with entrepreneurship. She shares practical strategies like using timers for focused work sessions, embracing "organized chaos," and making peace with the fact that sometimes the most important business decision is stepping away to attend your child's event. Her approach to self-care—attempting to reclaim Sundays as a day without to-do lists—offers valuable perspective for anyone struggling with work-life boundaries.The episode also explores Allyson's refreshing philosophy on competition: "You are not in competition with anyone else except yourself." She describes how collaborating with other boutique owners, rather than viewing them as rivals, has created community and opportunity for everyone involved.Ready to believe in yourself and pursue what lights you up? Listen now and discover how confidence, passion, and the willingness to pivot can transform your journey.Connect with Allyson:Website: Ali Madi BoutiqueFacebook: Ali Madi BoutiqueIG: @alimadi_boutiqueContact the Host, Kelly Kirk: Email: info.ryh7@gmail.com Get Connected/Follow: IG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirk Facebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook Page YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@RYHReclaimingYourHue Credits: Editor: Joseph Kirk Music: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!

⏰ Clock's Ticking: Dynasty Trades Before the Season Hits ⏰ Last chance to make your moves before points start hitting the board. Welcome back to the All Gas Trade Show (AGTS) with Gabe (@iGabe_FF) and Ty (@TyDeclare44)! In this episode, we dive into the final wave of pre-season dynasty trades straight from the DD Fantasy Football Community. We're seeing elite WRs get moved, a flurry of Jacory Croskey-Merritt deals, and patrons positioning their rosters before Week 1 locks in their fate.

Mike and Steve interviewed Jen Hale, an NFL on Fox reporter, and Paul Soniat, the creator of the "Our City of Saints" musical. Hale emphasized the importance of Micah Parsons' trade from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers. Hale also shared her thoughts on the Saints, the Falcons, LSU's opener at Clemson, and Hurricane Katrina. Mike slammed the NCAA for investigating a potential late suspension for LSU safety A. J. Haulcy.

Sloppy seams. Sagging walls. Zero strategy. If your booth looks like you don't care, that's exactly what your audience will believe.Too many companies treat trade shows like a checkbox, not a channel. They work with order takers, cut corners to save costs, and focus on the wrong things… then wonder why the event didn't deliver.But on the floor, it shows. Dull design. Generic messaging. An experience no one remembers. And the worst part? You're spending real money on that.In this episode, Pablo Gonzalez joins Matt to talk through what a high-impact booth actually looks like, and how to flip the conversation from “just get it done” to “make it count.”Learn:✅ How to spot order takers vs. partners who elevate your strategy✅ What truly great booths have in common (hint: it's not the size)✅ Why booth ROI starts way before install—with the right people in the roomIf you're serious about turning your trade show into a real growth driver, start here.----------------------------------Connect with Pablo GonzalezLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pablotheconnector/  Connect with Matt KleinrockLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/  Company: https://rockwayexhibits.com/

Frank is joined by Kyle and Scott for a packed roundtable on Gamescom highlights, World of Warcraft Midnight reveals, and a friendly debate on brand events versus trade shows. The crew breaks down Hollow Knight Silksong hype, Fallout Season 2's New Vegas vibe, a surprise standout in Lego Batman, and how Blizzard's housing and three raids at launch could reshape the way we play. They wrap with network updates and weekly recommendations. Timestamps and Topics 00:00: Introduction and panel lineup 00:30: Question of the week — fictional foods from pop culture 03:01: News of the week — Gamescom overview 03:37: Hollow Knight Silksong release window and gameplay hopes 06:02: Warhammer 40K love plus Dawn of War memories 08:16: Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 concerns, design shift, and dev changes 15:56: Resident Evil 9 trailer reactions and expectations 16:57: Fallout Season 2 trailer — New Vegas sights and more of The Ghoul 18:24: Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight looks like a true Arkham style entry 20:34: World of Warcraft Midnight cinematic first reactions — Silvermoon, Lor'themar, Zalatath 26:31: Who were the light aligned warriors and how that reveal could have landed 30:15: Midnight features — three raids at launch, eight dungeons, delves, prey system, outdoor play 31:45: Why multiple smaller raids can help modern raiders 34:19: Where each host plans to spend time — raiding, delving, housing 35:30: Player housing deep dive — free placement, neighborhoods, profession recipes in old zones 41:49: Professions and transmog updates make old content matter again 42:49: Demon Hunter Devourer spec talk and leveling plans 46:23: Built in raid tools and quality of life changes 46:41: Brand events versus trade shows — BlizzCon immersion or Gamescom reach 55:14: How activations bridge both worlds and keep hype alive 58:02: What Blizzard could do next and a brainstorm on venue layout 01:04:18: Network news — Challenge Accepted updates and more from the Geek Freaks crew 01:06:07: Weekly recommendations — Hollow Knight, Dawn of War, Cowboys doc 01:13:47: Sign off Key Takeaways Hollow Knight Silksong finally feels real with fresh footage and a near term release window that has fans buzzing. Fallout Season 2 leans into New Vegas energy and looks ready to give Walton Goggins even more to chew on. Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight plays like a full Arkham style experience in a lighter package. World of Warcraft Midnight lands with a striking Silvermoon set piece and a clear villain in Zalatath while sparking questions about the light aligned reinforcements. Midnight launches with three raids, eight dungeons, delves, and a prey system that targets you in the open world for dynamic encounters. Housing is fully free form with place anywhere decoration, neighborhood vibes, and recipes scattered across old zones and dungeons, which brings back legacy professions and exploration. Built in raid tools and UI polish aim to raise the floor for everyone, not just add on users. Brand owned shows like BlizzCon deliver clarity, atmosphere, and community rituals. Trade shows give reach and variety but can dilute focus. Memorable Quotes “Hollow Knight Silksong got a release date. I am beyond excited.” “Lego Batman is straight up a new Arkham game. Who knew that would be the most complete Batman experience.” “Lor'themar finally got his moment to be the badass I always wanted him to be.” “Three raids at launch is a return to a cadence that actually fits how people play now.” “Housing should pull you back into old Azeroth and make those zones feel alive again.” Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?

No, not this podcast... but the recordings we got while with the AMAZING people of exocad (https://exocad.com/) at IDS 2025. It was a wonderful trip and we got to meet and talk to a lot of fantastic people from around the world. This week is no different as we meet a married couple that met in a lab, married, and now own a lab. Agata Bak is from Poland but went to London to find more opportunities for dental technology. Iman Ansari is from Iran and also ended up in London. They both worked at the same lab and it took Iman a while to win Agata over, but he did, and they fell in love. After getting married and working at a few other labs, they put everything on the line and opened Black Pearl Dental Lab (https://www.instagram.com/agatabak.dt/reels/?hl=am-et) where they specialize in high end fixed work. Then we meet the past President of exocad (https://exocad.com/) North America Larry Bodony. Larry recently retired but still stopped by to tell us the awesome story on how he got the job when at IDS 2011. Taking a chance on a new design software and them taking a chance on Larry, set into motion of growing exocad in North America. It took time and work, but soon exocad was gaining popularity. Larry talks about those early years, his use of "reverse" tradeshows, and now that he is retired, working with another new exciting software Bite Finder (https://bite-finder.com/?v=0b3b97fa6688). Let's be honest. There are a LOT of zirconia on the market these days. How do you know which is which? Is one better than another? Is there one that can handle every situation?
