As an Exhibitor, you want to stand out from the crowd and to be remembered by the visitors. Then you should think about what you want the visitor to do straight after they have visited your profile page. Do you want to direct them to an article, a useful guide or to your webshop?
Clarify topicality and customer benefits
For you to succeed online, you need to combine the elements of traditional event marketing and content marketing. The content needs to be relevant, benefit the visitor and targeted. So don’t just be content with uploading your logo and generic business presentation. Engage your visitors with interesting offers and interactive content. Tip!
