Virtual Trade Show for Trade Shows

 6 May, 2010

The brick & mortar trade show, an indispensable part of your strategic marketing plan.

As a service to our membership, Online Trade Expo is setting up additional features on the site in regards to trade shows and events. An important resource for buyers and sellers, the brick & mortar show is an indispensable part of any company's strategic marketing plan.
Suppliers or businesses catering to the tradeshow exhibitor can sign up on the OTE side of the site under business services and showcase their products and services. Custom booths, booth rentals, transport services, design services, graphics and more are welcome to add their resources here so members can find them easily.
OTE Trade Show Calendar
The shows side of the site, temporarily titled OFFLINE, includes an application that feeds a calendar of trade shows worldwide which can be searched by month, country and category. The feed offers a graphic representation of the shows and dates by horizontal colored bars corresponding to the calendar days of the events.
Hovering over a show will bring up a tooltip with the full show name and basic information. Clicking will open an information page about the show.
Trade Show Profiles
OTE will be expanding our services to the trade show and events industry with the Event Profiles so show management may expand their marketing to the international membership on OTE.
Event Profiles on OTE will give shows and events a platform to share more details about their event and to promote the show and direct exhibitors and attendees to their website for registration and complete information.
Many more features are in the works to make Online Trade Expo a true asset to trade shows and events worldwide, particularly the smaller venues and those located in growing markets around the world.
