A good fisherman knows how to find the fish. He is following the crowd of birds flying over the ocean. You are an event organizer or marketing person of a company just about to organize an event. Your booth is beautiful branded and inviting. You’ve been making the networking rounds. You have awesome swag to give away. So where are the bites? Are Tech buyers easy to catch?
Reading through two studies conducted by UBM, Content Connects: How to Deliver the Right Messages at the Right Time and 2017 Tech Event Marketing Insights, your content is king when it comes to present your event which you might not have expected.
The audience looked into during the studies was focused on IT buyers specifically, but the findings are representative of many event marketers. MarketingProfs partnered with UBM to create an infographic that highlights many of those findings.
