9 tips for a terrific trade show

Traditionally, trade shows play an important role in geospatial B2B marketing. In fact, there is probably no better way to get in touch with your customers and prospects. Yet, a lot of possibilities at trade shows are still often left unused. We regularly visit trade fairs ourselves and still see too many exhibitors who make little or no contact at all. Often they focus on the wrong things, like their smartphone or colleagues, which is a real pity. For that reason we’ve put together a list of tips, so that you can get the most out of your next trade fair participation!

How geospatial professionals find new products

In one of our previous blogs, we’ve explained why Geo-matching is much more than just a platform for lead generation; in fact, it is primarily used as an information platform. By enabling industry professionals to search for, find and compare new products, Geo-matching plays a crucial role in two key phases of the customer journey: awareness and product consideration. In this blog we will dive deeper into how Geo-matching is used in the information phase and how you can utilise your account to gain optimum benefit in this phase.

Lead generation through digital marketing in the geospatial industry

Generating high-quality traffic and leads is a big challenge for most companies. In fact, at a staggering 61%, HubSpot’s latest ‘State of Inbound 2018’ indicates that this is by far the biggest challenge for marketing professionals. The same report also clearly states that, on average, inbound marketing – which is a form of ‘pull’ marketing through the internet – provides 60% of all high-quality leads, compared to 21% directly via the sales team and 18% through outbound marketing such as trade fairs or cold acquisition. So let’s dive a little deeper into lead generation through digital marketing.
