The topics he commented are more and more important. Because in the OTA , the competition gets intensified, the SME activity suppliers need to strengthen their own marketing in their website. Though not attending the trade, we have to think about the topics and realize how to do plan.

My 4 tips for you as a trade fair visitor (after attending 20+ international fairs):   Having attended about 20+ international fairs as an exhibitor, I've seen a common trend among visitors:   ⇢ Many visitors seem to wander aimlessly, missing out on opportunities for meaningful interactions and insights. My statement: take time to come prepared.   With Bam Bormet set to attend the Intertraffic Amsterdam fair next week, I thought it would be helpful to share 4 tips:   Tip 4: Plan your visits ⤷ Before the fair, research the exhibitors and decide which stands you want to visit. Make a schedule to ensure you have enough time for each key exhibitor, including us at Bam Bormet!   Tip 3: Come with questions ⤷  Prepare specific questions you have for each exhibitor. This not only makes your visit more efficient but also allows for deeper, more meaningful conversations.   Tip 2: Network actively ⤷ Fairs are not just about the products but also about the people. Plan to attend networking events or set up meetings in advance. You never know which conversation could lead to the next big opportunity.   Tip 1: Follow-up ⤷ The most crucial step is often the most overlooked. After the fair, follow up with the contacts you've made. A simple message can go a long way in establishing a lasting relationship. LinkedIn, WhatsApp are excellent for this.   Bonus tip: Share your digital card! ⤷ Too often, we still see physical business cards being exchanged, which, over time, tend to get lost, meaning you might not end up in someone's contact list. Therefore, create a digital business card (vcf card) and share it via WhatsApp or LinkedIn. That way, you're just one click away from being added!   So, with these tips, you're well on your way to making the most out of your trade fair visits!   - - - - -   Do you need speedgates, barriers, turnstiles, or gates? ⇢ I'm Kurt, International Sales Manager at Bam Bormet. Under its brand name BAM® (Belgian Access Management), Bam Bormet develops, produces, and installs high-quality barriers, speedgates, turnstiles, and gates in our factory in Nieuwerkerken, Belgium.

BONJOUR, BULA, FAKAALOFA, LAHI ATU, TALOFA, TANKIU, TUMAS AND WELCOME TO THE THIRD EDITION OF THE PACIFIC BUSINESS EVENTS MAGAZINE. There is no-doubt that we are seeing a big demand for business and event travel – with the Pacific top of mind for many, being so close to the larger Pacific islands of Australia and New Zealand. How lucky we are to be in the South Pacific, with an abundance of islands to choose from, each with their own distinct culture and cuisine, landscapes and attractions. There is no such thing as ‘seen one island, seen them all’. The differences in geography, population, infrastructure can be stark even when comparing differing islands of a single Pacific nation. All of the destinations covered in this, the third edition are within a short direct flight from Australia or NZ. It can be as quick, or quicker, to get business event and incentive delegates to a Pacific island than to move them domestically. Most of these destinations offer a variety of meeting and event spaces, and incentive travel options, worth considering for business events. In the Pacific Business Events Magazine you will find more information on our neighbours New Caledonia, Niue, Fiji, Samoa and Vanuatu. Click here to read the magazine. Thank you. 😎 https://lnkd.in/gVqcBDAM
