Trade Show Marketing & Industry Conference Presence
Consider when to invest in trade shows: they can still be a great way to build an industry presence and attract leads.
Trade shows have long been a staple in successful business marketing. However, times have changed, and some are now debating whether industry conferences are obsolete.
Physical Industry Conferences: The Challenge
Today, knowledge acquisition is mostly done through online self-education, such as search engine research, peer reviews, videos on social media sites, or webinar presentations, which leaves physical meetings with little new to offer. Nevertheless, there is still strong lead generation potential for companies at trade shows.
Should I Invest in Attending Physical Meetings?
Here are three proven criteria to consider when planning to attend an event:
Your product or service requires face-to-face interaction
You would like to partner with leaders in an industry you are not familiar with
You would like to establish a reputation as an industry leader, visionary or coin a new concept in the market
