• Include a P.S. on all outgoing correspondence: “We’re exhibiting at ION GNSS+ 2022. Please visit us at booth #[BOOTH NUMBER] and please meet me in Denver!
• Add a footer/ signature to your emails: Set your email up to automatically add a message like “We’re exhibiting at ION GNSS+ 2022 September 19-23 in Denver, MO Please visit us at booth #[BOOTH NUMBER] and please meet me in Denver!.” Be sure that everyone in your company with customer contact does the same.
