We are at the trade fair, but there is no fair
Have you heard about the International Trade Fairs for Advertising and Printing? For many companies, trade fairs are the time and opportunity to present themselves to the world in person. At the fair, we get to know potential customers and give them the opportunity to talk face to face, touch the product and learn about the activities and production inside out. Advertising fairs are held in several countries and cities in Europe. This event is attended by owners and representatives of many companies from different countries. In one place there are competitors competing with each other for the same client, and at the same time building a venture together in an atmosphere of cooperation. As you can guess, the whole "event" is filled with many emotions.
Every year, all fairs are held stationary. In 2021, many events were cancelled due to the epidemiological situation in the world. What solutions do the organizers of the fair propose? Will online fairs fulfil their role in 100%? Does online fairs even exist?
The fair is an ideal platform for business development, offering everything that the participants may need. The events often include thematic training, lectures and presentations, as well as meetings and interviews with selected people.
Expo? It is a place of numerous meetings of industry representatives. The opportunity to meet another person face to face creates space for the exchange of valuable experiences and getting to know the products in person. However, today's world, including advertising, sales and many other activities, is moving to the Internet. With each passing month, the online world begins to take over businesses that are forced to submit to the upcoming trends and needs of their customers.
Presentation of achievements and discussion presented online is now a normal, well-known and accepted phenomenon. However, are we able to satisfy the age-old need for tangible knowledge of the product electronically and remotely?
Below, I will briefly present you the international trade fair in which we participated.
