Benefits of Brand Building for getting results in b2b markets

2008-12-02T23:10:00.002+05:30

For Business , Branding, and positioning are its key part, since it has become modern business necessity. Brand positioning benefits are derived from the brand awareness,creation of brand value proposition and the brand positioning statement of a company. They may vary, depending on a market you choose to work in with reference to brand punchers campaign.

Brand marketing is gaining more popularity among many modern companies. Branding remains no longer an option, it has turned to be a necessity in the modern business environment and brand positioning is one of the vital brand marketing components. It offers companies many benefits. Let us take a closer look at the brand positioning, the benefits it provides and two different areas where it is applied.

The brand positioning can be exercised in the customer oriented branding and in the b2b branding. The brand positioning benefits and the ways to achieve them will vary considerably in those two areas. Your band value proposition would also diverge for those two different markets.

Your brand positioning benefits are gained from the functional, emotional or self-expressive value propositions and from your positioning statement's ability to capture your stakeholders' attention and space in their minds. For most customers all three ways of expressing your brand value proposition can be vital and working, however, not all of them will work well for the brand positioning for b2b markets. Brand positioning benefits, obtained from a functional brand value proposition in a customer market, are based on the products' or companies' natural benefits and advantages. A FedEx term of delivery is a good example of such functional benefit. Nevertheless, it will work well only if such benefit or advantage remains a priority of a particular company and makes it unique among its competitors. More brand positioning benefits can be received from the emotional or self expressive brand value propositions for the customer market. For instance, Volvo is strongly associated in customers' minds with safety and Mercedes can be an expression of who those customers are and their social status. Choosing those brands, the customers choose emotions and social self expression they desire to build up about themselves. The emotional and self expressive based value propositions build up strong bonds between customers and brands. Frequently, those two components are closely bond together. They evoke a more psychological rather than a functional interaction of the customers with the brands, and thus, are able to produce more brand positioning benefits.

Nonetheless, brand positioning benefits for b2b markets mostly cannot be taken from the emotional or self expressive value propositions. The b2b managers, who are responsible for purchases for their companies, are in the search for the functional benefits and value propositions, the emotional appeals will not produce many results with them. What they want to know is your credibility, terms and price conditions rather than the emotions your brand can evoke in them. The B2b positioning has to be based more upon particular product benefits and contract conditions rather than on emotions.

Finally, your positioning statement both, for the customer and for the b2b markets, has to be aimed at capturing people's attention and winning a unique position in their minds and hearts. Remember, the positioning and the benefits it produces, comes from winning a special place in people's minds, not in their pockets.

Why New Markets Are Required For One’s Products

2008-11-03T23:57:00.001+05:30

Before one understand this mystery , three factors are to be known for

revealing the mathematics of any market players :

a) Demand and Supply

b) Quality at competitive rate

c) Growth for survival in tough competition

I remember last Saturday I got a call from a senior president of a MNC, saying that

I am looking for new market but cant make as to where shall I go for and especially when the management is insisting for fast set up of new supply chain in new markets
but I am afraid with global melt down of economy ,since , it has broken the backbone of every company irrespective of country.

I started to deal the situation with certain things which I am just reiterating so that some one can use it as to why new markets are required.

New Markets can be set up by adopting any of the ways as is practiced by the global players :

a) Setting up a subsidiary unit

b) Making up channel sales force

c) Making business associates

d) Making assignment based agents

e) Generating continous leads for business deals

People may choose as per their best economy , nature of business and longetivity of business interest.

But, the gentleman was sounding over enthusiastic and even said ,…….yes ,Mr Becker,

I know this all but my problem is still as such and repeated it as well for times.

This made me to finally ask him to accompany me over tea which longed to dinner.
In our first sitting , he had a very long brain storming session and he was only interested to know an answer to why ? instead of knowing how to do it so , let us name it “Why Session”

Why Session

New Market means more business and new business as well. In other words means more profit and revenue irrespective of its sustainability .

Again the same question cropped as to why new market , ofcourse ! for this I am paid for and companies make business out of such advises.

a) What is the meaning of new market ?

b) How to explore new market ?
c) Which market will be the best new market ?

All the aforesaid questions have simple answer as discussed below.

It can be understood by simple formula of demand and supply. Where there is demand which is sustainable and with better prospects will be considered as new market.

The new market can be within the territory of one’s country or may even cross the barrier of international market. If demand is more in a new market , then it is always advisable for exploring a new market.

The market can be explored with better pricing with best quality,since the golden rule is quality should always command the pricing factor and pricing factor always follow quality factor.

Since, both are incomplete without each other and compliment vice versa.

As already said , the new market could be explored with new subsidiary,joint venture, partnerships, business associates, deployment of work force or even without substantial investment by way of continous generation of business leads , may be a B2b platform or b2b portal can get business leads for you like
www.made-crom-india.com ,which I recently saw and seems to be a promising one for global traders and exporters.

Exploring new markets can be even by way of launching your product in unexplored areas of one’s country and even exporting the product to a particular country where best demand is there . The result will be more demand will always give better pricing factor. Ofcourse, such markets will be the best market to be explored since business is done for profit and the market which can give more profit will always be the best market whether it is new and unknown as well.

Say, a ball pen has the best quality over the existing ball pens in its segment and usage, but unless not being sold in better market will always get less revenue over inferior ball pens which are in best market where the demand is more for ball pens and for quality.

After listening such simple things , the gentleman said , Mr Becker even I knew this but you made me understand the simple analogy and now I am sure to give some promising result to my management.

We shall be discussing other aspects of other sessions in due course of time, meanwhile , simply understand the fact that business is for profit and it is always dominated by demand and supply .

Quality signals in wine marketing: the role of exhibition awards

2008-09-15T17:40:00.003+05:30

Wine producers have their products evaluated at various wine exhibitions for the purpose of receiving awards that can be displayed on the bottles. This contribution introduces an approach to estimate optimal prices for wine exhibition awards. A case study has been employed in cooperation with a major Czech wine company to investigate the practical usefulness of the method. Estimating the relative importance of selected wine exhibitions as award origins and determining the partial utilities of selected awards (medals) is based on a conjoint experiment. Price equivalents and markups can be derived based on consumer preferences.

Competition in the Czech market for bottled wines has already been stiff with the entry of European Union suppliers resulting in a signi1cant downsizing of national production areas (EU, 1998). Major importers are Italy, Spain, Hungary, Slowenia and Yugoslavia (Czech Ministry of Agriculture, 1999). The recent appearance of an increasing number of wines from ‘new’ production areas worldwide (e.g., California, Chile, South Africa, Australia) still increases the pressure on national suppliers. Consequently, Czech wine producers are searching for ways to match their offers more closely to consumer preferences
to maintain or to increase their market share as well as to generate suf1cient income from their sales.

Quality perception, quality evaluation, and quality signals-Quality has been found to be amongst the most prominent factors influencing consumer’s choice of wine (Hauck, 1991). The question arises as to what factors can be employed by producers (or by the retail trade) for creating favorable product quality perception leading to higher preference and/or to the willingness to pay higher prices.

Product attributes, in general, can be classi1ed as either search, trust or experience attributes. For a particular product, all three categories may be relevant (Kaas & Busch, 1996). Search attributes like, i.e., the price are usually accessible prior to purchase and are being employed by consumers to identify relevant offers (evoked set). Experience attributes (i.e., the taste), can only be evaluated after the purchase. Trust attributes (Darby & Karni,1973) cannot at all be evaluated by the consumers or only at high costs. Typical trust attributes for wine are alcohol content, sulphur content or preservatives content.

The cues used by consumers to judge product quality can be classi1ed as either‘‘intrinsic’’ or ‘‘extrinsic’’ (Olson & Jacoby, 1973). Intrinsic cues are those product attributes which cannot be changed without also changing the physical properties of the product itself, i.e., sugar content of a wine. Typically, those intrinsic cues are responsible for the taste, the ultimate product quality measure in food marketing. Extrinsic cues are attributes which, while product-related, are not a part of the physical product, i.e., labels. Earlier quality- perception studies have suggested that consumers’ quality perceptions are strongly affected by extrinsic cues (for an overview see Rao & Monroe, 1989) but little attention has been paid to wine labels (Schrattenecker, 1986: Gierl, 1993) and no study could be found examining exhibition awards.

Prior to purchase, consumers do not recognize whether or not a product meets his/her quality standards. This indicates de1cits in quality perception.

De1ciencies in consumer quality perception are closely associated with the absence of complete information. Only very few markets exist where market transparency is perfect. Most frequently, one party (usually the seller) has better access to product information than the other party (usually the buyer): resulting in information asymmetry (Von der Schulenburg, 1993). Incomplete and asymmetric information has a strong impact on consumer quality perception and evaluation. Quality labels (created by producers or as a third party certi1cation mark) are designed to provide consumers with product quality information, hence reducing information asymmetry between supplier and buyer (Kaas & Busch, 1996). Quality signals are being most frequently employed by producers and retailers in markets where product quality information is distributed asymmetrically. That makes quality labels an important cue in consumer quality perception.
Wine exhibition awards can be categorized as third party certi1cation marks. Those are granted by numerous institutions to products that meet their predetermined standards (Taylor, 1958). According to the information content provided by third party certi1cation marks those may be classi1ed into three major categories: factual certi1cation, evaluative certi1cation, and warranty certi1cation (Laric & Sarel, 1981). Wine exhibition awards belong to the group of evaluative certi1cations providing attribute-speci1c evaluation. The certifying party is committed to present evaluative opinions (e.g., varietal-speci1c quality assessments) carrying affective connotations.

The Health, Beauty & Fashion Show, organized by Premier Exhibitions, sponsored by Cotswold Life and supported by the Oracle Cheltenham life magazine, is due to take place on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th October 2008 at the Centaur Cheltenham Racecourse. The Home & Garden Show is going to be held at Cheltenham Racecourse in the Centaur from 3rd to 5th May 2008. We offer visitors a vibrant show with a variety of entertainment on stage, and of course free admission, which is customary at this show.

With a little effort one will find it at ease that exhibitions work in such a way that no other medium can. Whether its immediate response one is after or setting the foundations for future business, these events are excellent places for you to showcase your product or services. These are just a few elements that Premier exhibitions, and only exhibitions, bring to ones marketing efforts in a measurably cost-effective way. Unlike any other ways of advertising whether it be TV - radio - internet - newspaper - leaflet distribution - direct mail - exhibitions have all the right ingredients. You have the chance to come face to face with thousands of visitors and let them see our products and services.

Fair Trade Association of Australia & New Zealand

2008-09-07T23:53:00.000+05:30

A recent public survey conducted by Colmar Brunton on behalf of the Fair Trade Association of Australia and New Zealand (FTAANZ) indicates consumer recognition of the FAIRTRADE Label has now reached 36% in New Zealand, an increase from a similar survey conducted 2 years ago that showed just 2% recognition at that time.

Retail sales of Fairtrade Certified products in New Zealand grew 60% last year to over NZ$9 million, this is well above the global average of 40%. Global sales of Fairtrade Certified products are now more than NZ$4.8 billion. The UK market is now worth NZ$1.25 billion with 70% public recognition of the FAIRTRADE Label. This all indicates scope for further growth in New Zealand.

“By thinking about what we buy at the supermarket and supporting Fairtrade, we are able to make a tangible, personal difference with the reassurance that something as easy as thinking about the coffee we buy is helping to make a difference to another person, their family and community.” says Steve Knapp, Director, Fairtrade ANZ

56% of New Zealanders in the latest survey showed understanding of the fair trade concept - “guaranteeing a better deal for farmers and workers in developing countries” - and 42% said they would buy more Fairtrade products if they were more available.

This bodes well for new Fairtrade Certified product launches, with Wild Bean Cafe, Robert Harris, Gravity Coffee, Caffe L’affare and Scarborough Fair all launching new Fairtrade Certified products into mainstream retail in the last 12 months. From service stations to supermarkets, it has never been easier for consumers to choose Fairtrade and make a real difference to farmers and workers lives in the poorer parts of the world.

Plasa Events 2008 ,September 7 to 10

2008-09-01T00:04:00.001+05:30

As we head towards the end of 2007, PLASA Events reports buoyant bookings for the 2008 event with over 55 per cent of stand space already confirmed.

Show Director Nicola Rowland says: "Just six weeks since the show, we already have over half our stand space rebooked and there are strong levels of interest from new exhibitors on the back of seeing the redrawn 2007 show.

"We're looking at three particular areas for further development at PLASA08 to enhance the experience for both exhibitors and visitors.

"One message that came across very powerfully from our various research exercises was how much people value the opportunity to network at PLASA, so we're studying ways to develop the networking experience. We're also working on extending the show's special features and there's a lot of work going on to ensure we deliver a strong educational programme.

"The expansion into Earls Court 2 was a bold move for everybody and has been generally very positively received, and we are working on new plans to develop the two hall layout - along with making more stand space available for those who want to make the move into Earls Court 2 next year.

"A further improvement for PLASA08 will be to our ticketing and marketing, including early distribution of exhibitors' complimentary guest tickets."

The PLASA Events team is also using its independence to offer more flexible branding and sponsorship opportunities than in the past and welcomes suggestions and creative ideas from members - so please call and the team will do all it can to support these opportunities.

Meanwhile, plans are under development for the provisionally titled 'PLASA North', when PLASA Events takes over the A.C. Lighting North trade show immediately after the 2008 event.

"It's really exciting to be expanding our portfolio of events to create more benefits and business opportunities for PLASA members and we will be liaising with everyone to ensure a smooth transition.

WaterTech Central Asia 2008

2008-08-25T08:48:00.001+05:30

Divining Opportunity in Central Asia's Water Sector

Throughout the world, the dismal state of water supply in Central Asia has gained notoriety. The famous image of broken down ships beached far from shores of what remains today of the Aral Sea tragically illustrates this situation. Clearly, the imperative of securing and maintaining quality water supplies has become a critical strategic challenge facing Central Asian countries, and particularly Kazakhstan.

In order to address the urgent challenges and necessary solutions for the future of water supply in Central Asia, Kenes Exhibitions has joined with ITECA from Kazakhstan in hosting the Central Asian International Water Technology Exhibition & Conference, the premier event to exchange information about these issues.

:: A Vanguard Event on a Vital Issue

The first event of its kind to include all Central Asia states, the Central Asian International Water Technology Exhibition & Conference will take place in Almaty, Kazakhstan from 16 to 18 September 2008. An international conference will also take place within the framework of the exhibition.The statistics below present, at least in part, a picture of the scope and complexity of the water supply challenges facing Kazakhstan:

Total area: 2,717,300 km2 (the second largest country among the former Soviet countries, after Russia)
Area composition: land – 2,669,800 km2 (98.3%); water – 47,500 km2 (11.7%)
80.0% of the land is either desert or steppes.
Cultivable land: 2,221,059 km2 (82.8%)
Cultivated area: 344,560 km2 (15.5% of the cultivable land)
33.7 km3 of water was sourced from rivers and other flowing sources, of which 80% was used in agriculture (1993).
Irrigated area: 35,000 km2 (only 10% of the cultivated area). Of this area, only 66% used controlled irrigation techniques.
Irrigated areas (by sprinklers): only 5,500 km2 – and the absence of the use of micro irrigation techniques (1993).

:: Kazakhstan: Exceeding Expectations

Population: 16,731,303 (6.15 persons per km2).
GDP: $125.3 billion (est.)
GDP (per capita): $8,300 (est.)
GDP (real growth rate): 9.5%
Unemployment: 8.1%
Inflation: 7.6%
Agricultural products: grain, cotton, livestock
Natural resources: oil, natural gas, coal, iron ore, manganese, chrome ore, nickel, cobalt, copper, molybdenum, lead, zinc, bauxite, gold, uranium
In 1996, 40% of the population lived in rural areas

As the statistics compellingly show, there is much to be done in the water sector of Central Asia in general, and in Kazakhstan in particular. The Central Asian International Water Technology Exhibition & Conference is the place to gain the knowledge and contacts that will turn this potential into a reality.

About Brussels

Brussels, the capital of Belgium and the administrative centre of the European Union, has the enviable title of the Capital of Europe. Brussels, character comes from the coexistence of French and Flemish culture, and it is nowadays home to nationalities around the world, adding a cosmopolitan flavour to its atmosphere.
The vibrant atmosphere of Brussels is further enhanced by picturesque medieval streets, lively squares, beautiful boulevards, impressive monuments, spacious parks, cosy cafés, interesting restaurants and an active cultural life.

Brussels, unlike Paris, doesn't set out to make you love it; rather, it sits back and allows you to do the wooing.The secret is to take time getting under its skin and slowly embracing its uniquely muddled character. The centre is divided into the Lower and Upper Towns. The Lower town is centred around the magnificent Grand Place and still follows a vaguely medieval form, with its narrow, atmospheric streets. The Grand Place itself,a wide-open cobbled medieval square of elegant guild houses, is one of Brussels few set-piece attractions. There is a daily flower market on the square (Mar-Oct), sometimes with concerts, and a sonnet lumière display in the evenings.

The bars, restaurants and nightspots of St-Géry take on a life of their own in the summer months, when the buzz is thickly atmospheric. Even in winter, die-hards sit on the terraces under electric heaters. Ste-Catherine, the town's port area before the river was landfilled in the 1870's, is lined with seafood restaurants serving up dishes of lobster,mussels and oysters. Immediately north of the Grand Place you'll find the Ilot Sacré, an evocative tangle of narrow streets that are filled with restaurants. South, amid the tourist shops in rue de l'Etuve, is the little statue of the urinating Manneken-Pis - the symbol of Brussels.

The Upper Town doesn't lack for attractions either: there's the Royal Quarter, with the palace and the royal park leading through to the Belgian Parliament. The Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts gives an overview of Belgian and old Flemish art.Don't miss the Musée des Instruments de Musique, set in a beautifully restored art nouveau department store. East of the Royal Quarter is the Parc du Cinquantenaire, with Belgium's Arc de Triomphe and vast museum complexes.

So, looking to the importance of the exhibition and brussels being a very nice place to be visited , this exhibition cannot be afforded to be missed.

Why to participate in an Exhibition?

2008-08-12T00:48:00.006+05:30

Different people have different perceptions to attend trade fairs, exhibition and trade shows, the prominent amongst being the three factors which rule the business world i.e fear, greed and insecurity.

Why these factors are so much important can be understood by one phobia i.e “If a businessman will not attend an exhibition, it will give a signal that he is not in the International Competition and Market .”

The science of the phobia of exhibition can be understood with the following surprising factors :

Almost forty to fifty percent of visitors go to an exhibition to find new products and technology .

Almost fifty five percent are visitors who result into some business and purchase the goods and services in an exhibition

Almost eighty five percent visitors simply find the exhibitions to be an opportunity when they can simply collect information on the latest products of competitors and development trends in their segment as well in related segments.

Almost seventy percent people who visit the exhibitions , use the informations thus collected to take their buy decisions or even other business decisions .

The glamour of Exhibition has attracted even SME’s to be in limelight and to show the business world that yes they mean serious business .

Nowadays Exhibition is also considered to be an Advertisement Campaign

Exhibition Vs Advertising campaign

Exhibition can be an advertising campaign because , even an exhibition gets media coverage and indirectly an advertisement happens for the persons who is attending an exhibition.
People while putting their adds also boast that they can be met and seen in a particular stand or stall no. in that particular trade show. This itself is considered to be a styled business statement.

Exhibition Vs Marketing research

Often ,an exhibition is said to be a powerful tool of market study.

An exhibition can be used as a platform to test the feedback for your product and especially for a new product before its launch and after its launch also .

This an be used to improve the products on the basis of responses given by the visitors towards your products .

Trade Shows ,Fairs and Exhibition have to be used to measure the competitiveness of market and behavior pattern of customers towards your competitors products as well.

It can be considered as a test laboratory to set our new marketing strategy and understanding the strategies of your competitors in order to position your product, ultimately , business means only Profit.

Exhibition is a phase when your company product undergoes quality control test by the end users .This opportunity shall be used by every manufacturers, suppliers, exporters and importers including SME's to judge the market trends and plan for the future.

Exhibition means the following :

a) Test of Behaviour of Customers
b) Quality Test
c) Level of Competitors
d) Identification of Strategy for positioning a product .
e) Deciding Pricing Pattern.
f) Testing the Launch Phase , it may be even pre or post launch as well
g) Instant Feedback of visitors including the end users .
h) Test of success of your product etc.
i) Identification of the phase cycle of your product .
These all are the blood and breathe for a business , so no one can afford to loose or neglect any one of the above.

Commercial Success

The commercial success of an exhibition is always associated with Return On Investment (ROI).

It can be a platform where business clicks with the participants signing the long-term contracts, apart from making a few normal purchases.

An Exhibition can be considered to be the most successful when its participants starts claiming that attending the said business means clicking the business deal and getting orders for future and developing relations with buyer.

Success Rule is “ More the ROI, More is the Success of an Exhibition”.

International Water Technology Exhibition & Conference,September 2008

2008-08-10T01:11:00.003+05:30

It is ironical to note the followings :
a)scientists are busy in finding water in other planets of the Universe.
b) Three Fourth of the World is filled with Water.
c) Composition of Human body is more of water
d) water itself is abundant in earth and then too water is also a major concern.
e) Cherapungi in India sees major rainfall i.e highest in the world but it lacks basic water supply and people see water scarcity.
f) almost 25 to 35% population of the world is facing problem with proper supply of water for drinking purpose.

These facts are awakening one and often make one to feel that what can be done for proper water supply especially in teh region of Asia.This has led to organise International Water Technology Exhibition & Conference in kazakhstan during 16 to 18 September ,2008

WASTE MANAGEMENT EXHIBITION, 16 TO 18 SEPTEMEBER 2008,UK

2008-08-10T00:40:00.004+05:30

Waste Management is the future challenge as well as Industry in making . Since, waste management has been a subject of research and various enterpreneurs have floated a full fledged industry on the basis of the research and developments which have taken place in this industry.

As per an estimate , every country not only will be upset with the ecological imbalance created by wastage generating from household but also the waste of industrial areas will be great concern and which has been closely watched and analysed by the scientist round the globe including India ,China etc . Whereas, India and China being the highest populated country of the world and industries set up are on the elevated graph, the waste management has become very significant.

This has evolved the concept of waste management as a topic of research as well as great concern.The waste management industry has been active in recycled products especially papers .

This all has led to organising of Waste Management Exhibition , one of which is to take place from 16 to 18 September 2008 at the Birmingham NEC.

There you can attend free seminars specific to your sector, meet with industry experts and find over 450 companies exhibiting the latest recycling technologies and solutions This year, in response to visitor and exhibitor feedback, the popular RWM seminars will take place in three separately themed seminar theatres enabling you to customise a programme that is entirely relevant to your interests

Meanwhile the RWM ever expanding outdoor exhibition and demonstration area will give you a live experience of the latest vehicle and plant technology.

Also returning this year is the RWM dedicated conference where you can pay to attend longer strategic sessions on a comprehensive number of subjects and issues surrounding the industry.

These will focus on legislation, emerging market opportunities and the growing impact of climate change.

RWM event manager, Gerry Sherwood, says: "Whether you are motivated to reduce, recycle or reuse because of legal pressure, commercial opportunity or simply because of a compassionate conscience, RWM is the unmissable event in the industry calendar.

It attracted over 8,000 visitors during its three day run last year, and has grown by 40 per cent in the last four years".

With the start of the IFA 2008 only a few weeks away the world’s largest trade show for consumer electronics and domestic electrical appliances is attracting enormous interest. The new Home Appliances section is being fully integrated in the overall event and will represent almost all the major suppliers from the domestic electric appliance industry. With this development the IFA provides a unique combination of markets, a focus for innovation, and the ideal platform for international retailers, buyers, consumers and the industry. The number of exhibitors this year will be well in excess of the 2007 figure.

Innovations are of decisive importance for a dynamically expanding market. In the consumer electronics sector there is keen demand for new products in the areas of home audio, home cinema, mobile navigation, telecommunications and privately used IT, while the trend among domestic appliances focuses on aspects such as lifestyle, simpler controls, health and energy efficiency. The IFA 2008 is the ideal venue for discussions between leading experts and also offers many opportunities to experience memorable entertainment and new products at first hand.

All the major manufacturers of consumer electronics equipment and domestic electric appliances will be exhibiting together in the halls and on the outdoor areas on the Berlin Exhibition Grounds, on an area measuring 152,200 square metres. Jens Heithecker, IFA Director reports: “The IFA 2008 is widening its scope. This year the standard of exhibitors, trade visitors and media representatives from all over the world remains at a high level. By combining consumer electronics and the domestic electric appliance industry we can ensure a highly attractive business environment for our exhibitors, trade visitors and partners. In 2008 the wider scope of the IFA will provide an even larger platform for the writing of orders than in 2007.”

“We expect the integration of the domestic electric appliance industry to lead to increased popularity for the consumer lifestyle products of both sectors, as well as intensified interest in the IFA among international trade visitors and the media”, explains Dr. Rainer Hecker, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the organisers of the IFA, Gesellschaft für Unterhaltungs- und Kommunikations-elektronik (gfu).

International retailers’ cooperatives add strength to the IFA
The leading international retailers’ cooperatives, ElectronicPartner, EURONICS International, expert International and telering, will be continuing their strategic partnerships at the IFA 2008. Close partnership between the industry and competent retailers is the key to effective marketing of all new products. The aim is to bring the entire range of innovations and information together and to make it available at one location to meet the needs of customers.

The successful inclusion of the IFA Home Appliances section has widened the scope of this trade show, opening up new commercial opportunities for retailers because, in its new form, the IFA covers all the different product sectors served by today’s retailers. Many years of partnership with international retailers’ cooperatives have given added strength to the IFA as a major order-writing trade show and emphasises its role as the world’s most important event for the industry.

World’s largest consumer fair
The IFA continues to gain in popularity and quality, not only through the inclusion of the domestic electric appliance industry but also due to renewed growth in its core areas. The IFA has established a reputation for introducing a whole range of new technologies and products. At the same time the IFA provides an exciting and entertaining show, combined with a unique diversity of innovations. Berlin is the place where the direction of future media policy is set, and the thousands of German and foreign journalists who attend ensure that it attracts the maximum publicity.

The constant improvements that have taken place mean that the IFA 2008 will be more international and more entertaining, with a greater emphasis on media policy and on the trade than ever before. Its dynamic expansion matches that of the period of growth that has been experienced by the various markets for consumer electronics products and domestic electric appliances for several years. As a result of this process its appeal remains undiminished and it continues to feature new products and developments.

New hall structure in 2008
Beginning in 2008, and against the background of the integration of leading consumer electronics and domestic appliance brands, a number of changes are being made to the hall allocations at the IFA. The International Trade Visitors’ Reception, occupying 800 square metres, is being moved from Hall 1.1 to allow for the inclusion of Home Appliances@IFA. New temporary halls are planned between Halls 1 and 25 in order to accommodate the “International Halls“, which were previously situated in the lower halls at the southern end of the Exhibition Grounds. In response to increase interest from Taiwanese exhibitors the IFA will be setting up a special “Taiwan Image Hall”. The “International Sourcing” section has also been assigned a separate display area in one of the temporary halls on the Berlin Exhibition Grounds.

Showstoppers 2008
During the IFA 2008 Showstoppers@IFA, the IFA’s official partner for the American market, will be creating a new format for business contacts and product presentations.

“Our aim is to make North American exhibitors, trade visitors and media representatives more aware of the global importance of the IFA. The IFA is the ideal place for establishing new business links with retailers, buyers and the “who’s who” of the international consumer electronics industry, for holding meetings and for finalising business”, Heithecker explains.

Main themes of the IFA 2008
As the world’s leading trade show for consumer electronics the IFA 2008 is presenting the entire range of new products from two dynamic and innovative sectors. With everything from giant flat screens to the tiniest TV mobile phones, from mobile media players to complete home cinemas – the IFA is presenting fascinating highlights from every area of entertainment. This year the leading domestic appliance brands will also be exhibiting their products for the first time. In this new section of the display too qualities such as simple controls, intelligent technology and an efficient use of energy and of other environmental resources are vital for ensuring the future of products, their widespread acceptance and growth.

Flat screen televisions in sensational formats: For the first time screens are so thin that they almost melt into the wall. The IFA 2008 will feature LCD models in cases with a thickness of only 1.5 inches (3.8 cm). At the same time screens are now available in dimensions that would have been thought of as impossible only a short while ago, with diagonals of up to 150 inches (381 cm).

High definition on many media platforms: Large, flat screen televisions with HD-Ready or Full-HD capabilities are making increasing inroads into European homes, thereby creating the basis for a generational change in the television field.

Another area of high-definition media will be making a major breakthrough at the IFA: HD entertainment on Blu-ray discs. The end of the competition between the different formats has boosted demand for optical HD media. This trend will also be reflected in the many different models of players, all of which can be seen and admired at the IFA 2008.

Spectacular sound to accompany big screens: Flat “sound bars” and surround projectors which use a single loudspeaker component to produce true to life stereophonic sound from up to seven channels are bound to fascinate the public just as much as the ultra-slim stereo sound columns which can be used to reproduce virtual multi-channel sound.

Mobility as the next big trend: Mobile devices for entertainment, navigation and communication are among the main factors driving the expansion of the consumer electronics sector. For example the latest sat-nav devices can also be used to watch television, and this is made possible by the inclusion of a built-in DVB-T receiver.

Totally networked media: Photos from a digital camera or mobile phone, videos from camcorders, music from MP3 players or from computers, games from consoles or movies from Blu-ray players – all this content can be made available throughout the house. MP3 players with Bluetooth, internet radios, hifi units with WLAN and Bluetooth, digital cameras with WLAN connectivity, TV sets with card readers or ethernet connections – the IFA 2008 will be using countless examples to demonstrate that the consumer electronics manufacturers are ideally equipped to meet the demands of home networks.

Domestic appliances with the focus on health and lifestyle: The new domestic appliances making their first appearance at the IFA reflect a worldwide trend for more comfort in the home and for healthier eating. New types of equipment such as induction cookers, high speed ovens and multifunctional washing machines are being bought in increasing numbers for the home, while more personal care and beauty appliances can be found in today’s bathrooms.

A future which is energy-efficient and free of pollution: In carrying out its development work in recent years the industry has been adopting a more ecologically based approach. In the case of television sets there have been substantial reductions in the power consumed when they are in use and also when they are on stand-by. At the same time the industry is constantly achieving more successes in its efforts to remove pollutants from the production process. And for many years the manufacturers of domestic appliances have been striving to improve the energy efficiency of the equipment that they produce. For example, between 1997 and 2007 the energy consumption figures for washing machines fell by 30 %, in the case of dishwashers by 40 %, and for refrigerators the reduction was as much as 45 %.

Attending Exhibition,But Do You Really Care ?

2008-07-29T08:48:00.012+05:30

We often gets querry from various people willing to know ,whether we should attend this exhibition or not. Sometimes , they also share their experiences which are good and bad as well.

Once, a gentleman was very upset as he happened to have attended one of the much talked exhibition ,which was very much reflected from the contents of his correspondences , which he had with us.

We just managed to get the actual reason of his frustration which we are sharing without revealation of his identity.He is a regular attendee of exhibitions.This time there was one international auto show and he was there to exhibit his products which was related to auto products .

The worst mistake he did was not looked for entire planmap of the exhibition and finalised for a stall .The stall was at the extreme end of the last lane of the entire setup which for many reasons was not resulting into bring every person visiting the exhibitions.What added his frustration more was that he could see that people are coming upto the last lane but simply looking from far away and returning back.

This was the time when he felt that oh god ! i was in wrong place in a right platform.This was time which he waited for almost a year to attend and had certain strategies to click business, but due to wrong positioning of stall likewise wrong positioning of product, he could not implement it fully and frustration was the end product.

The agony and wrong with the exhibition was :
a) there was no board in each and every corner of the exhibition to let people know as to which category of stall are there in each and every lane.
b)proper event map was not reflected at the entrance so that people can use it effectively.
c) stalls were not properly situated and last lane was looking to be discarded lane as mob follow the mob behaviour.

This led us to ask him what was the reason and why he settled with the last lane , he said i planned everything for almost one year , but just could not plan the booking of stall in advance and planned to fail for the exhibition which is the most exciting and fruitful exhibition in auto industry.

That gentleman's experience can be taken as golden strategy when it comes to planning for attending and exhibition that advance booking and proper study of event plan map is must. These all precautions and must do's for attending an exhibition will be taken in our next article , please keep watching the section as it is going to be based on true stories and experiences which we often come through by various approaching people to take guidance for events and exhibition be it organisers or exhibitors at exhibitions@made-from-india.com

Greatest Event of 2008-olympics

2008-07-29T08:20:00.003+05:30

The year 2008 will see the greatest event on this earth , which we all know as Olympics .No matter it connotes with games , but this event is associated with business as well. Since, in this world , every thing which can make some money, it will always live on the land of business.

Had this being not the case then people would not have spend money to advertise heavily on the grounds and for each events so as to get exposure to their products .The purpose of writing about olympics is not the game but to discuss that today , people always wants to be associated with a thing which is hot and happening.

Events and exhibitions are the means to exist in the business world.This has resulted in trade shows,exhibitions,fairs , summits,conferences etc organised throughout the calender in every corner of the world .

But , the main problem which persist with the people looking for attending such events is where to go and where to leave . Most of the people go to such an event or exhibition without even thinking and knowing it properly about the exhibition, but simply attend it due to following reasons :
a) it is occurring very near to their place.
b) it is very economical.
c) it will be in focus .
d) it will be in attention of lot of people and supposed to be crowdpuller.

They even dont care that what sort of category of exhibitors will be there and the prime aim of such event .

The moot question is that the prime aim of every event has to be understood to maximise the ROI incase, one is willing to attend such one for the purpose of business.

Producers

Organisers of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games has chosen the famous Chinese film director Zhang Yimou Zhang Jigang and as co-managers of the opening and closing. In 2006, the Beijing Organizing Committee (BOCOG) has chosen originally American director Steven Spielberg, Yves Pepin, head of french entertainment group ECA2, and Sydney opening ceremony director Ric Birch as consultants. [2] In February 2008, Spielberg released its role as adviser to protest against China continues to support the Sudanese government and the escalation of violence in the Darfur region. [3]

Performers

It was announced that Canada Celine Dion and Taiwan's Jay Chou would be made at the opening ceremony.

Gillian Chung was originally scheduled to be an artist at the opening ceremony. Because of the photo scandal Edison Chen, director Zhang Yimou has replaced her and another Hong Kong star with CPP C-law, a pop-One.

Boycott

The idea of a boycott of the opening ceremony was encouraged by demonstrators and reviewed by a number of Heads of State. More specifically, the french president Nicolas Sarkozy has raised the possibility he might not attend in protest against the treatment of Tibetan demonstrators, but on July 4, 2008, he announced that he attend. George W. Bush had announced the day before he would be present, and Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda also said that attend. The leaders of some other countries, including Estonia, Poland, Austria and the Czech Republic have said they will take part in a boycott of the opening ceremony. Others, like Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, announced that, although they will not be present at the ceremony, their decision is not linked to politics and they do not participate in any boycott

METAV 2010 is the proverbial early bird - year's 1st int'l metalworking event

2008-07-25T17:28:00.001+05:30

Frankfurt – The next METAV 2010 is due to be held from 23 to 27 February 2010 in Düsseldorf. In opting for these dates, the Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW) will be staging the first trade fair event of the year for the whole metalworking branch at a truly “early bird” time slot.

“Two important international trade fairs for the branch are set to take place in Central Europe in 2010,” Dr. Detlev Elsinghorst, President of the METAV explained.

“At METAV as the first event, exhibitors have a great opportunity to bring their innovations onto the market in really good time. Since customers’ investment budgets will by then not yet have been planned down to the last detail, exhibitors will have a valuable edge on potential contract commissions.”

METAV, the International fair for manufacturing and automation, addresses the entire investment goods industry. Trade visitors primarily hail from the machine and plant construction sectors, and the automotive and automobile supplies industries. These are, by a long way, the major production technology user sectors. And they face up to fierce international competition. It is only by means of intelligent and efficient manufacturing technology that they can maintain and extend their lead worldwide. At the METAV in Düsseldorf, they can simultaneously glean specific information on new solutions while also using the trade fair as an important and highly practical business platform for their investment decisions.

The METAV is one of the most important technology showcases for manufacturing technology in even-numbered years. It exhibits the entire spectrum for industrial production. Main emphases amongst the goods on offer are on machine tools for cutting and forming, manufacturing systems, precision tools, automated material flow, computer technology, industrial electronics, and parts and accessories.

At the last METAV in 2008, more than 840 international exhibitors presented their products and services. They attracted in excess of 52 000 trade visitors from 41 countries to Düsseldorf. In percentage figures, this was an increase of 8 per cent in comparison to the previous event.

Chinese version - 中文網頁

In China, puzzles are called yizhi youxi (intelligence games), and for many generations they have challenged the minds of young and old and tested the ingenuity of rich and poor alike. Along with its history of art, culture and science, China also has a rich tradition of puzzles and a fascination with puzzling objects. Besides, many traditional Chinese puzzles are artistic creations that reflect classical art form and display extraordinary craftmanship.

Chinese Puzzles: Games for the Hands and Mind is an exhibition of antique Chinese puzzles from the Yi Zhi Tang Collection and will include traditional puzzles, such as tangrams, nine linked rings, and sliding block puzzles. But it will also have examples of puzzling objects, visual puzzles, and cleverly designed practical objects, such as puzzle rings and multi-step padlocks.

Chinese Puzzles will be the first exhibit in the U.S. devoted exclusively to the subject of Chinese puzzles. Bay area residents Wei Zhang and Peter Rasmussen created the Yi Zhi Tang Collection after spending twelve years crisscrossing China and exploring Western antique markets to collect these rapidly disappearing handcrafted objects.

An important part of the Chinese Puzzles exhibition will be its hands-on component. While the antique puzzles on display will please the eye, visitors will also have a chance to challenge their hands and minds by playing with and solving an assortment of newly made Chinese puzzles.

Chinese Puzzles is presented by Chinese Culture Center’s Modern Classics Project.

This exhibition is funded by:

2008-07-22T13:11:00.001+05:30

it is one of the most attended exhibition of the world and also enjoys highest priority in the eyes of exhibitors and business class as well.

The Swiss-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Economic & Commercial Councillor’s Office of the Chinese Embassy in Switzerland, SinOptic, OSEC Business Network Switzerland, the Geneva Chamber of Commerce and Industry, is organizing an exclusive presentation for Switzerland on the theme "The Canton Fair: China import and Export Fair".

THE CANTON FAIR

China Import and Export Fair (also known as “Canton Fair”) is the largest exhibition in China and second in the world featuring over 15,000 exhibitors and a total exhibition area of 635,000 m2. It is held twice annually. Since 2007, an International Pavilion has been set up for the first time, inviting overseas enterprises to explore the Chinese market. Each time, it attracts around 200’000 visitors from over 212 countries. It is an ideal opportunity for Swiss business men to identify potential suppliers from China, source products, survey competitors and eventually find promising partners, or to export their products to China.

THE SPEAKERS

Mr. XU Bing
Born in Jiangsu Province in 1965, Mr XU received MBA from University of International Business & Economics. He was Deputy Section Chief of Import & Export Department, Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Corporation of People’s Republic of China (MOFTEC); Division Director of the General Office of MOFTEC; Secretary to Minister of MOFTEC and Associate Director and Assistant General Manager of Ng Fung Hong Co., Ltd, China Resources (Holdings) Co. Ltd. From May 2002, he is the Vice Secretary General of Chinese Export Commodities Fair, Vice Chairman of China Foreign Trade Centre and Deputy General Manager of China Foreign Trade Centre.

Mr. Thierry GALLADE
Born in Switzerland in 1970, for the last 5 years, Mr. Thierry Gallade has been in charge of establishing partnership with Chinese producers and acted as purchase and sales manager for an import-export Swiss company. He has traveled many times to China to visit new potential partners (plants), conclude partnerships, negotiate quantities, prices and services with active partners and attend to fairs/exhibitions. After years of various experiences with Chinese interlocutors, his humble conclusion, in regards of cultural differences and thoughts, is that sensitivity, consideration and respect are a must. His presentation will simply try to help you to gain some time by pointing out some useful pre-considerations when you tend to select and conclude a partnership with a Chinese supplier.

Trade delegation promotes Taiwanese food products in Toronto

2008-07-21T23:29:00.000+05:30

A delegation of food industry representatives organized by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) arrived in Toronto Thursday to promote Taiwanese food products.

The Taiwan Trade Office in Toronto held a trade meeting that same day to bring Taiwanese food producers and local retailers together to give them the opportunity to sign deals.

The delegation included representatives of various food industry associations, including the Taiwan Confectionary, Biscuit and Floury Food Industry Association and the Taiwan Regional Association of Frozen Vegetable and Fruit Manufacturers.

It also included representatives of 18 leading Taiwanese food manufacturers, including Uni-President Enterprises Corp., Ten Ren Tea Co., Yeou Bin Food Industry Co. and Young Sun Frozen Foods Co., who promoted snack foods, health foods, frozen fruit and vegetables, organic food, cookies, noodles, condiments and a variety of other Taiwanese products.

The Taiwan Trade Center invited major food importers in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, as well as leading supermarkets and retailers, including Loblaws, Sobeys, Metro and Wal-Mart Canada, to take part in the meeting.

According to government statistics, Canada's food retail market amounts to about $100C billion ($300NT.7 billion) per year, with Loblaws, Sobeys and Metro enjoying a combined 53 percent share of the market.

Thursday's trade meeting brought together 46 food industry businesses from Taiwan and Canada, and about 150 one-on-one meetings to discuss potential deals were held through the course of the day.

Kevin Wei, director of the Taiwan Trade Center in Toronto, said that demand for Asian food products has risen in the local market in recent years with the steady increase in the Asian immigrant population.

Major supermarkets have responded to this demand by selling a greater variety of Asian food products, he went on, adding that this, coupled with consumers' greater concern for food safety and the reputation for safety enjoyed by Taiwanese food products gives great opportunities for Taiwanese food manufacturers to grab a larger share of the Canadian market.

In 2007, Canada imported more than $40C.43 million ($39US.97 million)-worth of food products from Taiwan.

Wei noted that TAITRA holds some 30 trade fairs in Taipei City each year, including the Taipei International Food Show.

This year's Taipei food fair, held at the Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition Hall June 18-21, attracted a record-high 768 food manufacturers manning 1,609 booths.

A total of 27 national pavilions were set up at the fair, including a Canadian one that represented 34 food manufacturers displaying a variety of Canadian food and beverage products, ranging from ice wine, maple syrup and blueberries to beef and health foods.

Oklahoma Video Game Exhibition - August 9, 2008

2008-07-20T23:52:00.000+05:30

On August 9, 2008 video game collectors and enthusiasts from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Texas and even further will come together at the Marriott Tulsa Southern Hills Hotel in Tulsa to celebrate the history of the video gaming industry. “Before OVGE, people from the surrounding states had to travel across the country for events such as this, so it is nice to have something a bit closer.” said Jesse Hardesty, founder of the OVGE. Doors will open to the public at 9:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p.m. Cost of admission for ages eight and above will be $3 dollars at the door.

In 1972, the video game industry launched with the sale of the Odyssey by Magnavox. However, in the early ‘80s an overflow of games and lack luster sales in stores forced many companies to close resulting in drastic drops in prices for their merchandise. Companies still in business could not compete with the low pricing and lost money from their over stocked inventory causing the great crash of the video game industry in 1983. Since the rebirth of the industry in 1985, with the introduction of the Nintendo Entertainment System, video game sales have flourished. According to the NPD annual statistics the video game industry reached nearly 18 billion dollars last year. These numbers will continue to grow in 2008.

Still, many video game players are returning to classic video games. Even with the advanced graphics and sound of today’s video games, why are so many people fascinated with the classics? “Even though modern game systems have amazing graphics and sound, the most important aspect of any video game is that it actually be fun to play. Because classic game systems, like the Atari 2600, had very simple graphics, game designers had to focus on the game-play. Those same games that were fun in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s are still just as much fun today,” stated Albert Yarusso, modern video game programmer and co-founder of AtariAge.com.

“With video gaming being today’s main form of home entertainment, the history behind it should not be forgotten,” said Hardesty. “The Oklahoma Video Game Exhibition is providing the youth and their parents a chance to visit and interact with that past.” Numerous video game systems, computers, and arcade machines, will be set up for the public to play. Vendors and exhibitors will have games, and other memorabilia on display with many items for purchase.

The OVGE is organized by gaming enthusiasts who want to share their hobby and passion for classic and modern video games with the public.

We have 5300sf of space to fill this year making this year's OVGE the largest one yet! Plenty of tables left, so don't hesitate to contact us for info on how you can promote your business, collection, or just be a part of The video gaming convention in Oklahoma that is only OVGE! ;)
