2023 NCBA Trade Show Prospect Mailing
The mailing discussed in this submission was initiated to reach prospective companies to
become exhibitors in the NCBA Trade Show. The mailing allowed us to position information about the
NCBA Trade Show in front of companies that matched our target audience.
Once the target audience was narrowed down, we began creating the materials needed for the
mailing. The mailing consisted of four pieces: an invitation to exhibit, an Exhibitor Prospectus brochure,
a Partnership Opportunities brochure, and a 2023 Exhibitor Booth Contract. The invitation allowed us to
start the conversation with the company without having to send a cold call or email. The Exhibitor
Prospectus and Partnership brochure allowed us to communicate all the possibilities available to
exhibitors at the trade show. Typically, we only accept electronic contracts. However, for the mailing, we
wanted to make the decision for these companies to exhibit as easy as possible by providing each of the
steps needed to become an exhibitor.
The Cattle Industry Convention & NCBA Trade Show is agriculture’s premier event where
the industry comes together to get down to business for the cattle industry. We want
YOU to join NCBA and thousands of cattlemen and women from across the country and
exhibit at the 2023 Cattle Industry Convention & NCBA Trade Show in New Orleans, LA on
February 1-3, 2023.
The NCBA Trade Show allows you the opportunity to engage face-to-face with leading
industry decision makers, cattle producers, feedlot, farm and ranch owners, and operators
