Welcome
Ill Trade is a site unlike any other in its field: it deals with the ins and outs of trade shows, and the various aspects surrounding them.
The first portion of this site explains trade show displays, and emphasizes the different uses for table top -, hanging -, and truss displays. The trade show items segment explains the various must-have’s for a successful show, and clarifies the needs for up to date brochures, the more modern approach of CD-ROMS versus paper, and even the proper freebies that will capture and keep potential customers’ attention.
Ill Trade also includes a segment on trade schools, which used to be considered diploma mills for those who could not enter a regular college. Ill Trade helps to dispel this myth and also points out the various advantages to having a trade-geared education.
The idea of the attention getter is discussed in the form of the trade show entertainer. Acknowledging that most trade shows are industry specific, and so one vendor’s product is quite often similar to his or her booth neighbor, Ill Trade offers most valuable suggestions for getting noticed by employing the services of an entertainer who will help one vendor to stand out above the rest.
Ill Trade also explores trade games. These games are designed as attention getters, but they also serve the purpose of providing some welcome relief from the monotony of the trade show floor.
Next on the list is trade finance. This topic is an important one, as it explains the clues a trade financer will look for prior to recommending a lender‘s investment in the company. These clues include an applicant‘s level of trade experience within the industry, the company‘s balance sheet, its ability to obtain and retain title to the goods, the number of confirmed order, as well as the credit history of the company in question.
Last but not least is an introductory segment on the stock trade. Noteworthy are the links to resources that help a consumer to avoid falling for a scam, as well as help for the new comer to the trading experience.
