Tradeshows Reach Same People as Trademags, Btw
Tradeshows were thought to be dead circa 2002 yet nobody told the thousands of manufacturers and distributors that continue to invest in exhibit space. In fact, tradeshow attendance has been impressively strong for years. But it struck me as rather odd that some of the industrial marketing professionals who make sure to budget handsomely to exhibit at a few key tradeshows every year bristle at the idea of advertising in the key trade magazines that reach the exact same people they’re trying to reach at the tradeshows.
