How do you showcase to the right people?
Exhibiting is a highly effective marketing tool, but only if you are targeting the right people, and that means choosing the right conference. There many exhibitions & conferences taking place around South Africa in 2017, and not all of them will be effective for your business. The Industry Sector Associations will be the best people to contact to ensure that you attend the right exhibition / conference for your industry. When considering a conference look at factors such as location – is it somewhere people want to go? Who will be there, are they right for your business and is it financially viable? It is far more proactive to exhibit at one or two successful conferences a year rather than a large range which are not suited to your company.
