Tradeshow & event marketing

Even in today’s modern world of digital communications, trade fair and event marketing remain key industry tools for lead generation and meeting new customers. Face-to-face introductions remain an essential component of a marketing strategy for many businesses.

Using Tradeshow and Event Marketing to Generate Leads

Tradeshows (trade fairs, exhibitions, or expos) remain an essential part of the marketing mix in many (especially technical) industries. At both large and small events, industry leaders and newcomers gather to showcase their latest products and innovations. It’s an opportunity to meet potential customers, employees, and new partners, as well as members of the media and even competitors, all in one place.

However, successful exhibition at a trade fair requires more than just logistics and planning. To really get the most out of the money you spend on any exhibition (and make no mistake, trade fair participation can be costly), you need a focused strategy and plan of action before, during and after the event.
