Trade Shows in the Marketing Mix:

In the wake of our current economic slowdown, we recognize that many people are debating the value of most marketing efforts. So how do you make informed decisions about continuing to invest in face-to-face marketing efforts like trade shows?

Exhibitions Work !

Exhibitions, such as DOT, work because they are face-to-face. They provide us an opportunity to accelerate the selling cycle by matching needs with a company’s ability to fill those needs. They work because adults are visual learners. Exhibiting is a visual medium – the exhibit, products, the graphics, collateral materials and promotional products are visual elements. Buyers are also experiential. Trade shows provide an experience through the dynamics of the display process through equipment and scale models.

Most Influential Decision-Makers:

As offshore exploration moves into deeper and more challenging environments, the industry’s need for technological information and experience has reached new levels. At DOT, the world’s foremost engineers and technical experts from around the world gather to address technical issues, introduce pioneering technology, and discuss lessons learned. Exhibit at DOT and showcase your technical solutions to the most influential decision-makers in the offshore industry.

Exhibitor Benefits:

Your participation as an exhibitor entitles you to powerful benefits to boost marketing efforts, including:

Client invitations for free admission to the exhibit floor

Fast visibility and reference with listings online and in the Show Guide - including company contact information and a 30-word company description.
