Trade Show Marketing
Fifteen years ago, long before the social media explosion and proliferation of industry-focused websites, forecasters were predicting the end of trade shows as we knew them. Forget large convention centers and exhibit halls, the trade show was going online. Trade show professionals were going to be living in a virtual reality.
Fast forward to today and one thing has become very clear. The trade show is hear to stay, because it remains a vital part of successful marketing and sales initiatives. And the reason why is simple: connections matter. And when it comes to building relationships in business, it is very hard to substitute for a handshake. Plus, regardless of how great technology is, people are still inherently tactile, especially when it comes to purchasing. That’s why “showrooming” has become a major issue for retailers, because even when people buy online, they still want to experience a product in person before they buy it. This is why companies continue to make large investments in their trade show marketing campaigns. It continues to be a cost-effective strategy for getting in front of targeted buyers.
