Taking the lead is difficult in a field of top-notch competitors. You have to be better than the best.
The 2013 Dodge Dart is admirable. It is an aggressively styled, well-equipped, reasonably priced compact front-wheel-drive sedan. But it won't take the lead in that retail automobile segment any time soon.
Those are the facts, despite the enormous promotional hype surrounding the rebirth of the Dodge Dart - born in Detroit as a full-size automobile in 1960, reduced to a compact car in the early 1970s and last sold under the all-American-owned Dodge banner in 1976.
The Dart is now back as an Italian American compact, based largely on Italy's Alfa Romeo Giulietta - an offspring of Italy's Fiat, the new corporate parent of all things Chrysler, Dodge and Alfa Romeo. The new Dart is a good car, not quite good enough - not yet, anyway - to take the lead in a field also occupied by the Nissan Altima, Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Focus, Hyundai Elantra, Mazda 3 and Volkswagen Jetta.
The good stuff includes the new Dart's design - an aggressive exterior marked by Dodge's famed crosshair grille, a refined interior almost worthy of those in the Jetta and Altima, and all the electronic infotainment access most of us want or need. The car offers a lot for the money, with a price tag at NZ$19,273 for the base Dart SE, rising to NZ$21,682 for the popularly equipped SXT and going to NZ$24,093 for the upscale Dart Limited. (These super-low prices are explained by the amortisation of costs in a market the size of the US and the fact that the car is built in low-cost Mexico - Motoring Ed).
Also available are the Dart Rallye and R/T, specifically aimed at buyers who want more performance, or the illusion thereof, in their economy car. I drove two versions - the Dart SXT equipped with its standard 2-litre in-line four-cylinder petrol engine (120kW and 201 Newton-metres of torque) and a pre-production edition of the Dart Rallye outfitted with a turbocharged 1.4-litre in-line four (also 120kW but with 250Nm of torque) mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that also can be operated manually.
It's all OK, but "not the best" when the new Dart hits the road. Something is lost in translation from the wide-bodied Alfa Romeo Giulietta to the new Dart. The Giulietta, like many European compacts, is designed to do yeoman work in hauling people and stuff without driving a family into bankruptcy at the fuel pump.
The new Dart benefits from that heritage. It gets a respectable 9.4 litres/100km in the city and 6.5 litres/100km on the highway using regular petrol in the base 2-litre four-cylinder engine and six-speed manual transmission. But it feels sluggish in a traditional lineup of quicker Dodge cars, such as the Avenger.
There is also the matter of the dual-clutch transmission used in the Giulietta and now transferred to the Dart. To put it simply, perhaps even sophomorically, that technology does not seem to work as well here as it does in Europe.
In manual mode, in my hands, the transmission appeared to slip. I shifted to fourth. It automatically reset to third gear. I shifted to third and it started searching for fourth - not at all like the much more precise and more enjoyable manual shifter found in the 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT.
In the Dart, I preferred the smoother and more precise shifting of the optional six-speed automatic used in the tested Dart Rallye.
My complaints amount to a quibble, but enough of a quibble to lead me to choose the 2013 Hyundai Elantra, the Ford Focus, the Chevrolet Cruze or the Nissan Altima over the much-touted 2013 Dodge Dart.
❏ Footnote: Chrysler/Fiat's policy for its Dodge brand in terms of export is not finalised, but cars like the Dart and others in the pipeline sharing Fiat and Chrysler Corporation values are being considered in right-hand drive form.

Losing Damian Lillard to a season-ending injury is one reason Weber State has started Big Sky play slowly.
The schedule hasn't helped, either.
The Wildcats will play their third straight road game to open conference play when they face Northern Arizona tonight. Weber State is 0-2 in the Big Sky for the first time in coach Randy Rahe's tenure after making the difficult Montana trip last week.
It's never easy to win at Northern Arizona, and the Wildcats will be facing a typical Lumberjacks team. NAU can shoot and put up points, as it leads the Big Sky in field-goal percentage and 3-point percentage. The Lumberjacks also lead the conference in rebounding margin per game.
"They are the best overall shooting team in our league," Rahe said. "They can score deep and can score at the bucket."
Northern Arizona is led by Big Sky veteran Cameron Jones, who averages 18 points per game. Point guard Stallon Saldivar, a former state MVP from Judge Memorial, is the Big Sky's assists leader.
Both players had huge roles in Northern Arizona's 82-80 overtime win over Idaho State on Thursday. Jones scored 31 of his 37 points after halftime. Saldivar had a career-high 13 assists with no points and no turnovers. Saldivar's 3.54 assist-turnover ratio is sixth-best in the nation.
Northern Arizona is unbeaten at home — even while playing away from the friendly confines of the Walkup Skydome. The Lumberjacks are playing in the tiny Rolle Activity Center this season while the Skydome is renovated. They drew 607 fans to their game against Idaho State.
The Wildcats need to be efficient offensively to keep pace with the Lumberjacks. Only Lindsey Hughey and Scott Bamforth average scoring in double figures. Hughey averages 11.5 points per game and Bamforth 10.9.
After tonight, Weber State finally opens home conference play next week. The Wildcats host Sacramento State on Thursday and rival Idaho State on Saturday.

Laura Seitz, Deseret News
SANDY — Earlier this week, Mike Pope went on a much-needed golf outing with some buddies.
He didn't get to finish his round because the game was interrupted by a telephone call. His wife, Karren, had fallen. He was needed at home. Fortunately, she was not injured.
This is a small glimpse into the couple's life the past 2 ½ years, as Pope has become a primary caregiver to his wife, who has a form of dementia called frontotemporal degeneration. She rarely speaks, except for occasional one word utterances. Her mobility is dwindling by the day.
"We've been married 48 years. We probably won't make it to 50," he said, choking back tears.
Pope is among a growing population of people caring at home for ill and/or disabled spouses, relatives and friends. There is also a growing number of grandparents raising grandchildren.
"We're beginning to see a radical transformation in Salt Lake County's caregiver population — more racially and ethnically diverse and significantly larger," said Sarah Brenna, director of Salt Lake County Aging Services.
The agency is seeking to better connect with the needs of this burgeoning population through an online survey that went live Thursday. Survey results will be used to design programs and services for caregivers of aging adults and grandparents who are primary caregivers of grandchildren living in their homes. The survey will be conducted throughout the month.
Pope, 69, plans to complete the survey. He believes that caregivers need outside help and emotional support. As Karren's condition has worsened, he's assumed more household duties.
"One of the hardest things for me is trying to come up with something for dinner every night," he said.
Watching his beautiful wife come unspooled by dementia and a recent diagnosis of a neuromuscular disease takes a toll on both of them. Pope said he is grateful that he was able to retire young enough that he and Karren were able to enjoy time together before her health declined.
He relies on a monthly support group. His wife receives care from a hospice provider. Volunteers from Salt Lake County Aging Services and Jewish Family Services provide respite care, which gives him a chance to recharge his batteries.
"You just do it with love," he said of caregiving. "You do the best with what you got. That's what my dad taught me."
When times are tough, he thinks back to the sacrifices Karren made for him. When he worked the 3 a.m. shift at a refinery, she got up at 1:30 a.m. to cook breakfast and pack his lunch.
"We had a relationship that was the best anyone could have," he said.
Gwen McPherson of Herriman also cares for a spouse at home. Her husband, Oliver, also has dementia, but he no longer recognizes her.
"He hasn't known me for a few years as a spouse. He thinks I'm a good friend that allows him to stay here on occasion," she said.
Nevertheless, McPherson treats Oliver with compassion. After 11 years of intensive caregiving, she is pragmatic about what the future will bring.
"In your mind, you know it's never going to get better," she said. "But we'll do what we have to do."
For the past two months, a volunteer from Salt Lake County Aging Services has provided respite from 24/7 caregiving responsibilities.
"The lady that is serving us is wonderful, just wonderful. She would do so much more for us if I would allow it," McPherson said.
Because of her own health issues, McPherson does not often leave the house.

Archeologists discovered a sarcophagus fragment identified with one of the high priests who served in the Second Temple. The fragment made of hard limestone, discovered in salvage excavations along the security fence north of Jerusalem, bears the inscription "Ben HaCohen HaGadol." Though it is impossible to tell which priest's son the inscription refers to, the sarcophagus should probably be identified with one of the priests that officiated in the Second Temple between the years 30 C.E. and 70 C.E., according to a news release from the Israel Antiquities Authority. Pools and cisterns, public and residential buildings, and agricultural installations that range in date from the end of the Second Temple period to the early Islamic period have been discovered during the course of the excavations. The area is associated with the tribe of Benjamin where the priests resided during the Second Temple period. The fragment apparently was moved from its original location approximately 1,000 years ago and was used in the construction of a later Muslim building that was erected atop the ruins of the houses from the Second Temple period.

If you actually need to know anything about the Jets on Thursday, may I be bold enough to suggest that these are four things that would be most important:
1. LaDainian Tomlinson gets a second chance. For many, the lasting image of the 2007 AFC Title Game between the Chargers and Patriots was Tomlinson standing on the sideline, unable to play with a sprained left knee. He carried the ball just two times for five yards in the 21-12 loss at Gillette. Tomlinson said Thursday that that game seems like "a hundred years ago" but he hasn't forgotten how he felt on that freezing Sunday (temps in the single digits) in Foxboro.
"It was the most frustrating thing I've been through in my career, no question." said Tomlinson. "It was a long shot going into the game. With a sprained MCL, you know, I gave everything I had. But it wasn't much. It was obviously frustrating. At the biggest time, the biggest game possible, I couldn't play. Now it seems like I get a chance to redeem myself."
And unlike 2007, Tomlinson heads into this playoff game vs. the Patriots on a high note, rushing for 81 yards on 16 carries (5.1 YPC) and a pair of TDs in the Jets win over the Colts. For Tomlinson -- who entered the Colts game with a career postseason yards per carry average of just 3.4 -- it was the kind of performance in the kind of setting he envisioned when he signed with the Jets in the offseason.
"I told Rex [Ryan] that this is why I came here," said Tomlinson. "All that's left for me is to win a championship, a Super Bowl. I mean, that's it. And to get there we have to get through the Patriots. I've been there before, hope it turns out different this time."
2. Can Mark Sanchez play in the cold? I've written about this before, but I still can't shake the image of Sanchez after Jets practice on the Friday before the Monday Night game against the Patriots. After the Rex Ryan press conference the media was allowed to go down to the locker room. One by one the players came in from the outdoor practice facility, all in practice shorts or sweats. No complaints about weather, just another day. About 15 minutes after everyone else had settled in Sanchez made his way into the locker room. He looked like someone who had just entered the Death Zone climbing Mount Everest. He was wearing a ski mask, shivering, shaking and actually couldn't speak (he mouthed "no" to a reporter who asked to talk to him). I half wanted to check and make sure the guy hadn't lost any fingers to frostbite. He just kept his head down and shuffled to the shower. He came back with a robe on and a towel around his head, just sitting at his locker for 10 minutes with his head still down, trying to warm up. You know how they say that Lincoln looked like he aged 30 years during the Civil War? That was Sanchez -- the guy looked like he was 55 years old.
Here's the thing: It was 38 degrees that day. Sunny and almost zero wind. I have to admit, I wrote the guy off as a potential big-time quarterback right there. And I wasn't at all surprised when he offered a first-class stinker in that Monday Night loss, throwing three picks in the 45-3 loss (Sanchez has been awful in Foxboro in his young career, throwing seven INTs in 54 career pass attempts at Gillette. Tom Brady has thrown seven INTs in his last 483 pass attempts at Gillette). Sanchez in his career in games that were 40 degrees or lower at kickoff? Five touchdowns, 10 INTs. And I'm going to take a swing and guess that it's going to be below 40 degrees at 4:15 on Sunday afternoon.
Brian Schottenheimer, however, offered an interesting theory when asked on Thursday about Sanchez's struggles in the cold. Schottenheimer pointed out that Sanchez has played better in sub-40 weather in the two games since New England, and thinks an injury may actually be the reason for it.
"Crazy enough, I think dealing with the shoulder thing has helped him come up with a routine," said Schottenheimer of Sanchez, who injured his shoulder in the Week 14 win over the Steelers. "He's always up and throwing now, staying loose on the sideline. I think he's finally found a routine that he likes and he's never really done that before. He's done that to stay loose and stay warm and I think that has something to do with it."
3. The world according to Westhoff. Always entertaining to listen to the "Hard Knocks" MVP pontificate on all matters special teams, and Mike Westhoff did not disappoint during his nearly 20 minute meeting with the media on Thursday afternoon. Westhoff was first asked about the reaction he might receive at Foxboro on Sunday following his comments in December to a Chicago radio station that suggested the Patriots engaged in many of the same tactics as the Jets when it came to forming a wall on the sidelines during kick returns. The Jets were fined $100,000 for the "Sal Alosi incident," a fine the NFL said also stems from the Westhoff comments.
"That was an allusion anyway," Westhoff said Thursday. "I don't really care, I don't have any comments on it. That stuff is over, to me it's over. The whole thing was sad that took place. I've moved on from it. They'll throw snowballs at me. Don't stand too close. I don't care. I certainly feel accountable for anything I alluded to, and I'm accountable for everything I do. I'll stand up on it. I'm anxious to go. I have a great deal of respect for them. Not much love, but great deal of respect and can't wait to play them."
When it comes to on-field issues, Westhoff hinted that there may be changes coming on punt returns. Santonio Holmes let a punt roll between his legs during a first-quarter return against the Colts, which didn't sit well with his special teams coach.
"We're never done with anybody, but we're going to go in a little bit of a different direction," said Westhoff. "We've got a couple of plans. I like to go with some people that are hot, in my opinion."
Could that mean Antonio Cromartie, who was such a huge factor on kick returns in the win over the Colts?
"Yup. Sure." said Westhoff, who praised Cromartie's desire to do "whatever it takes" to help out on special teams. "We're going to mix it up, you might even see some two deep. All depends on weather and some other stuff."
4. The trash talk was (thankfully) at a minimum on Thursday. Nothing for the ol' bulletin board, really, even Cromartie was handing out verbal bouquets, admitting that "Tom Brady is pretty good." Hey, it's a start.
Even Ryan was in deferential mode, telling reporters that he considers Bill Belichick a friend and the best coach in the NFL.
"He just prepares great -- it seems that you never out-prepare him. He's always got some wrinkles for you. He's just a great coach, a great competitor. He's seen it all. I generally only steal from the best and I've stolen from him in the past. He's the best in the business. So I respect him that way but again, I've got no love for him this week."

Support from business for longer terms
Relevant offers
The prime minister has thrown his weight behind a four-year Parliamentary term. William Mace talked to business leaders about why they agree.
John Key will next week move into 15th position among New Zealand's longest serving prime ministers, overtaking one of the nation's most loved politicians, Michael Joseph Savage.
Savage died in office during World War II after repelling a vicious attack from inside his own Labour Party, so it seems longevity is really the only parallel that can be drawn between he and Key.
But after two election victories and a swathe of positive polling results at the mid-way point of this Parliament, Key will fancy his chances to hold on to power at next year's election.
So his Waitangi Day pronouncement that New Zealand's Parliamentary term should be extended from three to four years could be seen as an opportunistic attempt to get an extra year in office without the nuisance of winning a fourth election.
Ten years would put him past Helen Clark and Peter Fraser into third in the longevity stakes - though still well short of "King Dick" Seddon, who held on to power for 13 years.
But the issue engenders more than self-interest judging by the unanimous support for the change among business leaders surveyed.
While some acknowledge the difficulty with keeping politicians accountable to their constituents when elections are four years apart, the need for more long term, strategic planning and policy-making from our political leaders trumped that concern.
Any change in the Parliamentary term would require the support of 75 per cent of MPs but Key has said it would need to be decided through public support in a referendum.
A Stuff.co.nz poll of 3882 people found 61 per cent in favour of a four-year term and 39 per cent against.
A similar proposal has failed twice before, in 1967 and 1990.
Regardless of which party leads the coalition government, New Zealanders and our economy would benefit greatly from having greater stability in our central government.
The current three-year term causes governments to favour more populist policies and defer taking some of the tougher calls that are often needed to serve New Zealanders' longer term interests.
We elect governments to provide bold leadership, not to merely reflect the views of the latest opinion polls. A four-year term would give our policy makers enough time between election campaigns to get on and lead the country.
New Zealand's political pendulum appears to have settled closer to the centre than ever before so we see a large group of "swingers" who can very easily tip the pendulum one side or the other every time we have a general election.
Any government of the day is going to be constrained to small incremental changes in order to achieve outcomes that are merely adaptations of the former government's agendas.
Trying to have our entire country transform within a three-year time horizon is akin to an SME-cum-micro business operating from day-to-day and seeing just six to 12 months ahead.
A four-year, or even a five-year, term, regardless of the political agenda, therefore has to be a good thing. Our "swinging" voters will then become more directed and develop a stronger sense of purpose with clearer values.
Voters will hunger for information, pay more attention to political agendas, be more proactive and therefore display a greater sense of values and purpose.
It should change to four years, otherwise there's just not enough time for any party to dig in and get things happening.
But we never seem to give the people we vote for a definitive sense of direction from a voters' perspective of what we're looking for them to accomplish and that's not going to change whether it's three or four years. It's not just the political parties' fault, it's the voters' fault for not understanding the broader issues - I don't know how we conquer that.
The bigger issue is to let the voters understand whatever the issue is - economy, jobs, social welfare, mining - let's not just worry about the hole in the road outside our driveway.
The problem is we don't really know who we've got to run the country until the voting is over and then in many cases they don't necessarily have the expertise for the portfolios we give them
We rely on the public service and the ongoing bureaucracy so nothing really changes . . . we allow politicians to steer the country with the existing bureaucracy in place unchallenged.
It's expensive and not only in terms of the cost of running elections but because everybody has to down tools, and public policy often takes quite a long time to actually work.
The reason it's three years is because people say, "Well, we don't trust the buggers" - but we should just take a little more care about who we elect and then give them a chance to do the job. We'll hope it doesn't become four years of electioneering like the US.
What business wants is certainty . . . no matter what the circumstances may be you can factor in a plan for it, but if things keep changing all the time nothing settles down.
Because of the short amount of time, a lot of legislation is rushed and poorly drafted and a lot of detail is left to regulations which then officials have to sort through, and often the regulations themselves become problematic.
In a country our size, particularly where you don't have state governments, a government needs four years to bed-in what their policies are.
There are many instances in the past where governments have been voted out when they have started policies which would be of benefit to the country but which are never implemented because the other party that gets in, whether [the policy is] good or bad, just won't have anything to do with them.
There is a possibility a longer term leads to a little laziness . . . but no matter what colour the government is, they need to be able to give their policies a fair shake.
SMEs sometimes can be the forgotten end of town but they generate a fair percentage of the country's wealth and employ a fair percentage of the country's population.
They don't get the opportunity to present their opinions and needs to governments because of the shortness of time - ministers are damn difficult to tie down - so given that extra year I think SMEs would feel there's another 12 months for us to get in and state our views.
Moving to a four-year term makes a lot of sense, particularly in regards to providing continuity for the country.
From a business perspective, we need investment certainty. A four-year term would mean the government would have more time between election campaigns, which typically take a lot of time and can be extremely distracting.
As a company that is continually making large investment decisions, we need policy-makers who can execute on their longer-term view with less concern for imminent re-election battles. It takes time to deliver on a telecommunications vision and it also requires commitment to promote competitive outcomes that generate real value for consumers and businesses.
A longer term would ensure there is more stability and consistency, not just with elected representatives, but also with their officials and ministries.
PHIL VEAL, NEW YORK-BASED PARTNER AT GROWFIRE AND CHAIRMAN OF THE KIWI EXPATRIATES ASSOCIATION I don't think there's enough time in the current three-year cycle for government to achieve anything constructive.
I'm all for keeping politicians accountable . . . but I would be happy seeing a longer term that would force parties to be more visionary and strategic in their policy setting and how they pitch themselves to the electorate.
A longer term would give them a better sense of where the economy's going and what are the priorities for the next electoral cycle.
One of the things I would like to see more of in New Zealand is politicians who are not afraid to make bigger calls at the risk of putting themselves out of a job at the next election.
If people are going to commit their lives to politics we need to give them just a little bit longer to achieve.
[The US President] has got a maximum of eight years so in the first term you want to prepare something relatively material in the first two years and then bed down and prepare and hope those changes are realised and the electorate benefits in the next two years.
Then hopefully that gets you home for the second term.
After many years observing governments and some reflection, I have formed the personal view that a move to four-year parliamentary terms is likely to be beneficial for the country.
It takes time for governments to implement their vision and, as a small country, we are vulnerable to external influences that can delay the policy plans of even the most focused of governments.
By adding one year to the parliamentary term, we are likely to be reducing the amount of short-term thinking displayed as elections loom, and hopefully make policy implementation a lot more certain.
I believe that MMP has provided us with greater political diversity so far, and consequently a wider political scrutiny of decision-making.
The Ngai Tahu vision is embodied in our whakatauki [proverb] "Mo tatou, a mo ka uri a muri ake nei", which translates as "For us and our children after us".
It is this intergenerational thinking that we would like to encourage governments to participate in and my hope would be that a four-year term would encourage a longer-term mind-set.
It would bring additional stability and certainty for business, but it wouldn't solve all our problems - we still need regulatory change and better, evidence-based policy development.
What would make more of a difference is improving the poor quality of much of our new law - through a proper Regulatory Responsibility Act that requires all planned new legislation to conform to standards of transparency, accountability and cost-benefit efficiency.
Other fixes include getting better public debate around important issues, better understanding of the role of politicians, improving the policy-making process generally, and dealing with the problems brought by MMP, in particular the deal-making among political parties that brings so much uncertainty.

Big Idea Bring Back the "Cold Fusion" Dream
In 1989 Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann made a sensational claim that would have changed the world—had it been true. They said they had achieved nuclear fusion at room temperature using a simple tabletop device, thus creating a revolutionary clean energy source they called "cold fusion."
Unfortunately for the University of Utah chemists, multiple attempts to replicate their experiment over ensuing months failed. Cold fusion was considered debunked, and it has lived beyond the fringe of mainstream science ever since.
Yet quietly, more than 20 years later, two of the world's largest mainstream scientific institutions—NASA and the European physics research center CERN—have revisited the controversial energy-generating experiment.

The best of Linux - made on a Mac
The Linux Foundation has released a video of what it sees as the 2012 highlights for Linux - but the presence of decent video-creation and editing software running on Linux does not seem to be one of them.
Else, why did the Foundation choose to use a Mac to make this video? Is it meant to rub in the fact that Linux still lacks, in many areas, the spit, polish and ease-of-use that Apple boasts of? Or is it because the man running the show, Jim Zemlin, has a ready defence when asked about it? Zemlin never responds to inquiries and his defence is like that of Microsoft's famous "security through obscurity" approach. Or like Manuel in Fawlty Towers - "I know nothing."
The Foundation appears to believe that the spread of Android is a good thing - even though there is much that is not open about this mobile operating system.

Stuntman recovers his burgled property
Relevant offers
A Wanaka stuntman's determination to find his stolen possessions has seen him recover more than $10,000 of property taken from his Cardrona Adventure Park workshop last month.
Ian Soanes, well-known for his V monster truck television advertisements and wheeling on a motorcycle down Baldwin St in Dunedin, had been on a mission to find property, worth between $10,000 and $15,000, stolen from his workshop in Cardrona on May 27.
Tools, a custom-made trailer and modified Suzuki RMX 2-stroke motorcycle as well as a welder, drop saw, grinder, water blaster and four car batteries were taken during the break-in.
Mr Soanes, who was not insured, drove around every day interviewing people in a bid to find his property as he was unable to run his business without his tools.
"He (the burglar) nearly folded my business," he said.
On Wednesday Mr Soanes decided to drop in to see a business associate in Alexandra and was shocked to find his partly dismantled trailer in the man's yard.
Police were called and after executing a search warrant in an industrial lockup on Boundary Rd they recovered most of Mr Soanes' stolen property.
"I'm devastated it was someone I knew. That's the worst part," Mr Soanes said.
The culprit had visited Mr Soanes the day after the burglary and had said that whoever stole the property was scum.
Detective Sergeant Derek Shaw, of Alexandra, said Mr Soanes worked tirelessly to find his property and had done well to persist and get the result he did.
A 24-year-old Alexandra scrap metal dealer was expected to appear in Alexandra District Court on July 27 to face a charge of burglary.

Opinion & Analysis
In this brave new digital age the humble old trade show should be dying.
OPINION: Why go to the hassle of flying across the world or around the country to traipse around a crowded exhibit hall, when you can simply bang out an email?
In fact the opposite is true, with tradeshows in many industries growing. The reality is that while you can find and initiate relationships online, for many businesses, particularly those selling complex products business-to-business, you need to meet with people to secure a deal.
The challenge becomes how to make the most of a tradeshow. I was reminded of this at the world's largest biotech gathering, BIO, in San Diego last month.
BIO had over 16,000 attendees from 62 countries, representing around 1100 organisations.
It was held in a convention centre with a floor area of 49,000 square metres (Riccarton Mall in Christchurch is 59,000sqm).
This is just one of many similar events held around the globe to facilitate trade in specific industries, such as CES for consumer technology or SEMA for the automobile industry. And the thousands of smaller, highly specific trade events, anything from the latest in drink manufacturing technology at "Drink Technology India" in Mumbai, to the world of sealants at "China Adhesive" in Guangzhou.
The beauty of these events for Kiwi exporters is the ability to meet with all of the key players in one place.
How do you get some value out of these events? An obvious first question to ask, but is it the right show? Have you done a detailed analysis of attendee companies and job titles to be sure you will be meeting and talking to the right kind of people?
Can you talk to previous attendees to understand who goes to this event and what they are really looking for (don't believe the event's marketing blurb).
There is nothing worse than spending money and time to attend a show, and finding that 80 per cent of the people flowing past your booth have no interest in what you are flogging. Assuming you have got the right event, the next key is to do as much before the event as you can. If you are simply turning up, you have probably already lost most of the potential opportunity.
Good results come from identifying the potential attendees and pitching yourself to them prior to the show. A simple letter, email or even telephone campaign can help ensure you are on their list when they arrive at the door, and you are not relying on the chance they will notice your booth.
The BIO event has a wonderful system for managing this process. Attendees can pitch themselves to other attendees prior to the show using an online system, and if there is mutual interest, a meeting can be arranged before you get there.
The result was 28,000 sessions in three days at the 2014 event - meetings between entities who know of each other and are prepared to talk business. If you do have a booth, there are a few crucial things to consider. An effective booth is a mixture of pragmatism and creativity.
The pragmatism is being clear about what you are, so the floor trawler can quickly establish what you offer. While a "fully integrated storage solutions provider" might sound cool, "we make cardboard boxes" is easier to quickly grasp.
Creativity comes in to help attract a visit into your booth and convey why you are a better cardboard box maker. This is where you can unleash your inner marketer and have some fun.
For example, a client of ours that sells services related to managing risk often uses a motocross bike as a feature at their stand. It allows them to tell a story about how achieving high performance while managing risk is true of their product, as it is of riding motocross.
Another way can be through people's stomach. We've had clients offering barista coffee, fresh fruit ice creams and lolly stations to good effect.
Of course it's easy enough to generate interest at a show, but it is essential to have a programme of follow-up. You need to qualify interest carefully and either pursue it to a sale, or maintain the contact for future communication.
Just as online dating hasn't reduced the number of romantic dinners, online marketing isn't obliterating the trade show. The challenge for any marketer is making the most of the opportunity.
