A: Hi, Rex. Are you available now? Tom and I would like to talk about the promotional events with you for we are asked to help with promoting sales for the coming New Year.
B: Go ahead.
A: Have you got any ideas on suitable and eye-catching promotional events?
B. At this time discount is always the most effective choice. When I went downtown yesterday, the streets were crowded with discount sales. People were crazy about buying all kinds of goods.
C: Discount is a good way. But you know, our price is already low enough and to offer bigger discount to the customers is not quite possible, otherwise, there will be little room for profits.
A: That’s for sure. So, is there any new events to attract people?
B: How about letting people experience our latest products? I mean we can offer free samples for people to use. With a better idea of the good quality of our products, people will buy our products instead of our rivals.
C: Good idea! And we can also offer detailed instruction and on-site technical support for our customers.
A: Good! I like this exhibition plan. Then, where will be ideal to carry out our exhibition?
C: I think some big conference centers or hotels will do. Since they will be located in the centre of the city, then the transportation will be no problem.
B: That’s right. Exhibition in big venues will definitely attract more attention and display our position in IT field.
A: OK, it is all most everything. Let’s talk about the details later.
