Exhibitors Search For Traction In An Uncertain Market
In a shaky economy many exhibitors are struggling to find their place in an uncertain market.
Online, January 3, 2013 (Newswire.com) - After a tense election and the dreaded fiscal cliff many companies find themselves staring into a future filled with uncertainties. The threat of another possible recession weighs heavily on the minds of business owners and company executives. The added stress of a volatile stock market and staggering unemployment numbers add to the instability of the global economy.
The threat of these instabilities means that exhibitors are delaying their decisions to participate in tradeshows or choosing to opt out all together. In a world surrounded with economic uncertainty how can possible exhibitors be sure that tradeshows are the right move?
Some experts suggest that companies begin to harness the power of social media. A strong social media plan is a great way to generate positive buzz and avoid falling off the face of an industry map. Partner with top bloggers and other media related to a field to help start conversations that can benefit the company.
Tune into the needs and wants in the market of interest. Find out what areas of business drive the most visitors and push those promotional efforts. If product news brings in attendees focus on the latest and best new products a company has to offer. It's important to remember that the increasing attendee support is the strongest way to drive more exhibitors and keep the field alive.
Become an authority and an advocate for the market in question. Don't allow yourself to settle for just being an organizer. Becoming an industry expert sets marketers and exhibitors apart from competitors. Taking a deep interest in the issues that surround particular market places exhibitors at the front of the pack as strong advocates for change in the market. Be an active player and you're guaranteed to give yourself a place in the industry.
When it comes to exhibits experience and education is key. Don't be afraid to reach to your fellow colleagues for advice and tips.
