Amy has a successful wedding planning company and wants to personally market her services during a wedding exposition she will attend. Which form of communication best fits Amy's needs?

• A. Networking
• B. Advertising
• C. Cold calling
• D. Social media

Answer: (A)

In-person relationship-building at events is the most effective way to market services directly to potential clients. At a wedding expo, Amy can engage attendees one-on-one, explain her services, address questions on the spot, and leave a memorable impression through personal interaction. This fosters trust and makes it easier to turn conversations into leads or referrals. Advertising is broader and passive, which doesn't capitalize on the live, personal touch of the expo. Cold calling is generally unwelcome in a busy expo and disrupts attendees. Social media can extend reach, but it doesn’t provide the immediate, personal connection that networking at the event offers.
