Description:
As your food business grows, one of the most impactful ways you can grow your business is by exhibiting at a trade show. It can provide you with regional and national exposure to thousands of small and large stores, as well as face time with influential consumers that can give you insight into new markets.

National trade shows can be very expensive, and making the most of your investment is vital. In this program we will discuss: 

• Some of the big food shows around the country

• What you can expect in costs

• Educational opportunities

• Sales strategies

• Virtual trade shows

• And more

“Leveling Up Your Food Business: Trade Show Basics” is hosted as part of the PA SBDC’s Agriculture Center of Excellence. This joint initiative of The University of Scranton SBDC, Clarion University SBDC, and Penn State SBDC will help Pennsylvania agriculture businesses sustain operations and stabilize food supply chains in the wake of the pandemic.

This webinar will be presented by Small Potatoes, a boutique consulting firm that specializes in working with small-scale and start-up food product companies.
