Digital fair vs traditional fair: new horizons for the engineering industry

digital fair vs traditional fair

With the advent of digitization and the development of industry 4.0, we are witnessing a real one digital transformation also in the field of trade fairs: The Digital Fair has arrived.

If it is true that direct encounters with the customer, as well as word of mouth, are still essential for building solid relationships with potential business partners, it is also true that it is not always possible to participate in face-to-face events and this can sometimes preclude closing interesting contracts or starting new partnerships.

Therefore, if on the one hand the traditional sector fairs offer, in a few days, a direct experience between companies and customers, on the other hand the digital fairs, while not allowing a direct experience between clients and service providers, they allow for shorten distances geographical and logistic, facilitating in fact themeeting from question e offering.

  • Accessibility of information: one of the main characteristics of a digital fair such as DgItalMecShow is the possibility of enter constantly a key data and information. This is because, within this virtual space, visitors can freely navigate within the virtual pavilions, exploring the offers and production processes of the exhibiting companies, without time limits. Conversely, traditional fairs last only a few days, not allowing for an accurate evaluation of each exhibitor's offer. Participation in a virtual fair, on the other hand, allows interested potential customers to carry on one targeted research and punctual on companies, processes, production lots, etc. And precisely identify more easily i suppliers who satisfy their specific needs.
  • Cost: Traditional trade shows often require considerable investment associated with setting up a stand, renting space, transportation, promotion, and so on. Conversely, participation in a digital fair provides for Costs much more accessible, As you tip more to the promotional aspect and to the achievement of a good online ranking, but a series of logistical and organizational factors that normally involve important investments are missing.

This search is simplified thanks to the presence, within this virtual space, of targeted search tools, keyword, Datasheet and summaries containing specific data, constantly available for consultation, on production batches, processed materials, certifications and operating sectors. The virtual fair therefore simplifies the search for the ideal supplier, optimizing the times of Research and helping visitors to carefully evaluate the offer of all participating companies.

What to choose?

You don't have to chooseHowever, it is possible to integrate the two experiences together.

Digital fairs certainly represent a new frontier for the engineering industry: the DgItalMecShow for example, with its high degree of accessibility, is demonstrating that the future of fairs is digital: lower costs, larger audience, more efficient search experience.
