Trade Shows for Software & Technology Firms - Do They Still Make Sense?
2008-06-06 01:15:00 Let's talk about what, for some people, is a marketing method from a bygone era: Trade shows, or Trade Fairs, as they're referred to in most places outside of the US.At one point in time, Trade Shows were a staple in most every tech company's marketing budget--shows like Comdex, PC Expo, Network World and a host of others were annual rites of passage. But in this Internet age, they have been greatly reduced in the marketing mix, if not taken completely out of the picture.There are many reasons for this. First and foremost, the ROI of tradeshows was always very questionable for most exhibitors. In marketing departments everywhere there were sharp discussions during budget time, on whether to continue the expense of the major shows. They always seemed important to be at, but usually it was pretty difficult to make a direct correlation to enough actual revenue, to justify the large expense. As the Internet became more prominent, this ROI looked even worse in comparison--as it did fo...
How Effective Are Trade Shows?

Role of Promotional Umbrellas in Trade Shows
2008-04-21 14:38:00 Trade shows are important events in the lifecycle of a business. They bring the who’s who of a business together at a common platform and facilitate interaction.

Trade Shows, Part 1 (CTIA)
2008-04-11 15:53:00 Well, I've been on the road for the past couple of weeks. I traveled to Las Vegas for the CTIA Wireless trade show then to San Fransisco for the RSA security show. Both shows demonstrated the power and innovation that still drives the larger technology world today. I'd like to recap both shows in two posts.First, the CTIA show in Las Vegas last week was compelling. There is a building transformation in the wireless from the current 3G level of broadband, features and applications to a newer "4G" model. There is still some uncertainty about which technology platform will power this new generation of wireless businesses: WiMax or cellular or some un-invented technology.Needless to say, there will be much fighting and scrambling over the next five or more years between the big carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint) as well as other technology players (Microsoft, Google, etc). All these shifting parts made for very interesting conversations......and it also made for an enormou...
When Old Trade Shows Need a New Life
2008-03-10 17:29:00 I notice that most tradeshow organizers will pick a venue and stick with their choice throughout the years. I understand that this simplifies the process and also may promote the success of an annual trade show. I know that, after working out and perfecting all of the details with a particular venue, it might not be the wisest decision to move your show to a new event simply because you want to shake things up.With that said, sometimes I think trade shows need to be shaken up. The same old exhibitors, entertainment, and venue can get old after a few years of mandatory attendance.If you are nervous that your tradeshow is getting stale, I suggest trying alternatives before picking a new venue. Spice up the visuals by taking advantage of corporate computer rentals and projector rentals, liven up the entertainment, market to a new group of exhibitors, and offer door prizes. If all else fails, however, I am sure a lot of people would love to attend a trade show on a cruise ship!

Celina CHAN: Virtual Trade Shows
2007-10-30 07:42:00 October is the exhibition month with so many trade shows on electronics, gifts, home & garden, handbags and accessories etc. Our overseas buyers are typically busy attending such exhibitions first in Hong Kong (my home town) and then going to Guangzhou for the famous Canton Fair. Contacts were made and in some cases samples were bought. I attended such shows before and I typically got hold of a lot of product brochures and leaflets. What I would do is to go to these company websites and try to get more information on them and their products. Then most papers and brochures were trashed after I bookmarked some useful sites. I do feel this is not very environmentally friendly especially with the global warming problem. In fact, according to some studies on B to B industry, many buyers do go online to do research BEFORE and AFTER attending trade shows. This makes me think that online marketplace could be just like a virtual trade show. What it can do extra is you can make transacti...
