After almost 2 years of Zoom calls and Teams meetings, exhibitions and trade shows are once again scheduled into our work calendars.
One thing this pandemic has proven, is that no matter how advanced the technology, or how productive online offices can be, there is no substitute for orchestrating business face-to-face.
Whether you’re looking for a new supplier, collaborating on a joint venture or establishing stronger partnerships, the power of human interaction when building sustainable relationships is not to be underestimated.
Despite the increasing opportunities presented through digital marketing channels, exhibitions and trade shows have remained an essential cog in the marketing strategy wheel, presenting a number of opportunities including: –
- Showcasing your company and building brand awareness
- Generating sales leads in real time
- Nurturing business relationships and connecting with your supply chain
- Meeting multiple contractors and potential suppliers under one roof
- Networking with industry colleagues and potential customers
- Collaborating, sharing ideas and learning from industry experts
Depending on your niche and reach, there are hundreds of exhibitions and trade shows in which to participate. Organisers are going above and beyond to deliver COVID safe events, with all necessary precautions for both exhibitors and visitors to ensure a successful show for all.
