Inviting the audience to visit the exhibition means inviting them to visit the exhibition, which is divided into professional visitors and ordinary visitors. Professional visitors refer to professionals and users who are engaged in the design, development, production, sales or service of some exhibits or services at exhibitions.
Ordinary audience refers to other audiences except professional audience. High-end exhibitions, such as Canton Fair and Guangzhou International Auto Show, refuse or restrict ordinary visitors.
The exhibition should strive to keep the effective audience in a certain proportion of the total number of visitors, generally not less than 30%.
Effective visitors refer to the professional visitors of the exhibition and other visitors expected by exhibitors. They have certain qualities and are indispensable to the exhibition.
Invalid audience can increase the popularity of the exhibition, enliven the atmosphere of the exhibition, and expand the advertising effect and popularity of exhibitors.
The purpose of investment promotion is to attract trade visitors needed by exhibitors to visit and conduct trade negotiations. This is the lifeline of the exhibition. Investment promotion is arbitrary and uncontrollable. In most cases, the probability that the two sides are "suitable for each other" is not very high. However, if we define our target investment groups in advance, such as investment targets, key areas, qualification requirements, audit rules, assistance and control measures, etc., and spread them through effective channels, then the investment promotion work will be more clear and targeted, reducing unnecessary twists and turns.
Therefore, when making investment promotion strategies and plans, we should clearly understand our own resources, advantages and conditions that can be given to the applicants, and discuss the overall market strategy with the applicants to inform them of the real market support, so that the two sides can cooperate for a long time. It is suggested to plan and organize the investment promotion meeting through formal investment promotion agencies to ensure the certainty of the audience and not blindly. A series of publicity and planning work should be done before the investment promotion meeting is held, and experts should be recommended to participate.
