The Envelope
A, B and C are 3 people who are bidding for an envelope. They were told that the envelope contains money. Finally, after observing, the envelope A, B and C bid, $10, $50, and $1, respectively. B won the auction as he was the highest bidder, and he opened the envelope just to realize that it contained a $1 bill! You can easily calculate the loss that B made, he was a victim of the winner’s curse.

The Coin
A, B and C went for another auction. This time a very old coin was up for grabs. Once they were done observing the coin, they were asked to bid. This time, A and C bid $50 and $100 respectively, but B bid $500! The coin now belonged to B. A and C were sure that B was a victim of the winner’s curse once again, but they did not know that B had contacts in an antique market outside the country, where the coin would fetch over $2000!

The Explanation

The first example clearly depicts the winner’s curse in a common value auction where the bidders have incomplete information, while the second case shows how the winner’s curse can be avoided if you possess complete information. You can easily infer from the above examples that, you can avoid winner’s curse if you have complete information about the valuation of the good being auctioned.

One thing that you should remember is, the value of a particular good is very subjective. Something that is priceless for you may be worthless for someone else. When your bid is driven by emotion rather than the need for monetary gains, you are immune to the winner’s curse! Thus, private value auctions are not affected by winner’s curse.

A way to avoid the winner’s curse even in the state of incomplete information, is to bid less than the value that you estimate (this technique is often used by intelligent bidders all over the world). By using this method, you reduce the chance of overestimating. It is also believed that the probability of overestimation increases with the number of the bidders, as, if one bidder overestimates, the others tend to follow.

Why is the theme even more important for the success of a trade show? For one, it sets you apart from your competitors. Two, it draws in more clients and consumers because they are attracted to what you’re offering and three, it does not allow the mundane and routine to set in and therefore, keeps you wanting to thrive for more. Think of it as the packing which will allow the consumers and the clients to view your product and learn more about it.

Thus, the way you present your products is very important and that is where the concept of a good theme comes in. How to choose a trade show theme that will ensure success? Consider the following points.

The General Theme
Is there a general theme to the whole fair that you can work with? Sometimes trade shows will give all the participants a common theme to work with. Even though you’ve been given this theme, try and find ways in which you can stand out.

List the Strong Points
For you to be able to work with the theme at hand, you need to know your product thoroughly and draw out the strong points of the same. These are the points that you need to stress on when coming up with a theme. What is it that you want the clients and consumers to know? Can you bring it out with the theme?

Draw From Your Product
A theme generally works well when there is an all pervasive theme that is running forth. Consider your product and the theme that it can be molded into. Then try and make as much impact as you can with the theme. For example, if your products are summer wear for women, then your theme will be summer. Do whatever it takes to make the summer theme come through. For example, you could replicate a set as a booth theme such that it looks like the beach and you could have your staff wear sun dresses from the collection. You could also offer cool drinks to the clients and consumers to drive the theme home further.

Let the Theme be all Encompassing
When you come up with a theme, try and make it all encompassing. Make sure that you maintain the same theme in all processes of planning – the pre-event advertising as well as the post event advertising. This will enhance the theme further.
