Trade shows are the most accessible best practice for connecting to new markets and finding a brand new gift marketing strategy. One day spent at an exhibition or booth will instantaneously provide access to more clients and suppliers. 

Moreover, you can physically examine the products and make real-life connections with the people behind them. There are plenty of exhibits that showcase an abundance of items ranging from free-standing displays to free promotional items from various industries.
