A Year-In-Review
TSNN Introduces Trade Show Activity Indicator, TSAI™, as New Tool for Measuring Economic Health
- TSAI™ Q1 Report – Predicts Healthy Event Industry Market Conditions in the Face of Economic Factors
- TSAI™ Q2 Report – Attendees and Exhibitors Being More Selective, but Outlook Remains Positive for Industry
- TSAI™ Q3 Report – Customer Face-to-Face Interaction More Valued in Challenging Business Climate
Tarsus Online Media CEO, RD Whitney, Writes Scathing Article Regarding Apple’s Decision to Not Exhibit in Trade Shows in 2008
"This is exactly opposite of the trends we are seeing in tradeshows overall,” says Whitney. “We are finding through our research at TSNN.com (and our new TSAI™ - Trade Show Activity Indicator) that companies are reacting to the economic headlines and realizing this is a time to get in front of customers more --not less. We can only assume that management at Apple believes their brand is so strong that they don't feel it is necessary. Not many marketing experts would agree that you should attend fewer shows ‘because there are better ways to reach customers,’ but maybe they just have their iPods on too loud to hear the wisdom. Most organizations realize that shows need to be part of an integrated mix. This move makes you wonder if short-term Wall Street concerns for profit outweigh keeping your ear to the rail for customer shifts and long term face-to-face relationship building."
