Getting quality data on habits and purchases is an important guide to planning exhibitions and events, especially these days with expectations from consumers driving delivery. It can’t be the only indicator though! Benefits to participants must also be met. The challenge to modern event organisers is to balance and create a synergy for both seller and consumer in an inclusive and entertaining presentation.
It is always interesting when asking similar questions to exhibitors and consumers, there is always a divide! Consumers like to be glowing and paint a positive image about themselves while exhibitors will be reserved and be a little less positive about outcomes. It is a natural response we have found across a few industries and interpreting the data is important as clients depend on it.
In a recent simultaneous survey covering participants in the past 18 months, CMS Events found out some great information which will be invaluable for both event planning and client planning. Details are provided to exhibitors as part of participation at events to assist planning and success.
