Callbox’s Event Marketing Campaign Secures Attendees for SG Exhibition and Events Giant
The Client
The Client is a leading B2B (business-to-business) information services provider that operates in more than 30 countries around the globe and serves professionals, businesses, and academics. Its services include organizing exhibitions and events, facilitating digital and in-person community-building, delivering data-driven services and intelligence-based products, and giving access to research for specialist customer communities.
The Client organizes several hospitality events in Singapore, including one of the largest international food and beverage exhibitions in Asia. This event that the Client has been holding in Singapore for over 40 years attracts businessmen, exhibitors, and visitors from all over the world. It covers a wide range of categories including food and beverages, bakery and confectionery, and hospitality supplies and equipment.
It provides a platform for industry professionals to hold cooking competitions, networking events, and seminars to share ideas and insights about the latest trends, showcase products and services, and connect with potential business partners.
In addition to this, the Client organizes other hospitality events in Singapore like exhibitions on wines, spirits, and artisan and gourmet food and beverages
The Challenge
For 4 decades, this information services provider and events and exhibition organizer has been raising the standard of the event experience by providing more valuable networking opportunities and high-quality sourcing options.
The success of the Client over the past years is attributed to their event marketing tactics and appointment-setting strategies, which have been very effective in drawing in clients all over the globe. Their quality services helped clients develop a strong sense of trust and confidence among their clients.
Despite being the leader in their niche, the Client doesn’t want to rest on their laurels. It continues to strive for better services and more innovative initiatives for the exhibitions it holds.
The Client is confident enough that they will draw in many exhibitors and visitors for their most current event, but they believe that it’s a best practice to outsource their event marketing and appointment-setting efforts to a team of lead generation experts. This way, the Client can be sure that their efforts are ensured to deliver favorable results. Taking uncalculated risks is not much of a wise move in the B2B setting.
With this in mind, the Client sought the assistance of Callbox to market and draw in attendees to its events.
