When you exhibit at a corporate health and wellness fair, you may only have a few seconds to catch someone’s attention—and only a few minutes to make a lasting impression. That’s why knowing who your ideal customer is (and how to spot them quickly!) is a game-changer.
Whether you’re a first-time exhibitor or a seasoned wellness professional, this guide will help you show up with clarity, intention, and results.
🎯 Step 1: Know Exactly Who You’re Trying to Reach
Let’s start with the basics: not everyone is your customer. The best exhibitors show up with a clear picture of who they’re trying to serve. That doesn’t mean ignoring people—it means focusing your energy where it matters most.
Ask yourself:
- Who benefits most from my product or service?
- What stage of life are they in?
- What challenges are they facing?
- What do they value—convenience, transformation, luxury, affordability?
- What kind of support are they searching for?
✨ Example: If you’re a financial advisor, your ideal customer might be a mid-career employee who’s thinking about retirement, or a young professional eager to pay down debt and build credit.
👀 Step 2: Learn to Spot Them in the Crowd
At a wellness fair, your ideal customer isn’t wearing a name tag that says “Hi, I need your service!” But you can learn to read the room.
Clues your ideal customer is nearby:
- They pause and make eye contact
- They linger near your booth or glance at your display
- They ask thoughtful or curious questions
- They visibly respond to your signage or materials
- They’re carrying giveaways or literature related to your niche
✨ Pro Tip: Watch body language more than words. Someone who’s genuinely interested will often hover before they speak.
🧲 Step 3: Make Your Table Speak to Them
Now that you know who you’re looking for, let your table help do the talking.
Use your signage and setup to:
- Speak directly to your ideal client’s pain points (“Tired of stress headaches?”)
- Highlight transformation, not just services (“Better energy starts here.”)
- Include imagery that reflects your target demographic
- Offer something irresistible to draw them in (sample, quiz, or freebie)
✨ Tip: Avoid vague language like “wellness solutions.” Be specific about what you help with and who it’s for.
💬 Step 4: Ask the Right Questions
Once someone is at your table, the magic begins. But how you engage them matters.
Instead of going into a pitch, ask curious, open-ended questions that reveal if they’re your ideal customer—and make them feel seen.
Great starter questions:
- “What’s something you’re working on in your health right now?”
- “Have you ever tried _____ before?”
- “What drew you over to our table?”
✨ Remember: The goal is connection, not conversion. People are more likely to follow up with you if they felt heard.
🌟 Step 5: Offer Something Just for Them
One of the best ways to attract your ideal customer is to offer a freebie, resource, or promotion that solves their specific problem.
Examples:
- “Take-home stretching guide for desk workers”
- “5-minute stress reset audio recording”
- “Free discovery call to explore your wellness goals”
- “First appointment 20% off if you mention this booth”
✨ Bonus: Add a QR code to make it easy to access your offer on the spot.
