Out With The Old…In With The New

New Mobile Marketing Is On a Roll for Business Consumers.

Let’s Start With the Very Beginning

The first trade show happened over 160 years ago. It was called The Great Exhibition and was held in Central London. The idea of the show was to bring together the most innovative and advanced products across the world for people to view and purchase all in one place. Queen Victoria hosted this event for 5 months and it showcased commercial products and attracted over 6 million visitors. Now, trade shows still exist with over 14,000 trade shows each year with the hopes that they generate extensive revenue for the exhibitors. They are an opportunity for businesses to showcase their products to hundreds of people at one time.

The Evolution to Mobile Marketing Tours

The history of trade shows is interesting, however; as the business environment has changed so has the look of trade shows type events including what is now on the road, mobile marketing tours. Mobile marketing tours are a major part of experiential marketing that enables brands to interact with business customers, not just consumers, across multiple locations, within a set period of time, and with less planning and costs. It is typically a more unique, private experience for business customers and frequently closer to home. They are designed to target specific locations where more opportunities for sales exist and are more customized to the potential business customer. Most importantly, business customers can experience a product or service in a creative, hands-on atmosphere.
