Hello Dear Connection,
Hope you are doing well & staying safe with your family After 3 to 4 month of struggle with Covid-19 ,now I am sure everyone has accepted the fact that covid 19 is going to stay long. Probably Mask , sanitizer & social distancing is going to be part of our everyday life .Many of my friends has lost their job & at the same time many dream has been shattered specially for small business owner like me .The whole event & expo business stands on one fundamental " Gather Crowd " & Current situation demands exactly opposite of it " avoid crowded places". It’s literally not that easy to conduct expo , flea market , events maintaining social distance - social distancing concept is going to have negative impact on "event industry " for sure .
So what is way forward?
6 months back when life was normal, I predicted a situation where people need not visit crowded places like exhibition hall to check out their favorite brands & exclusive discount what brand offers during those 2 / 3 days of expo. So I worked on a concept where Exhibitor & visitors can meet online & expo can happen similar way in real but on virtual platform.
4 problem points from my 4 year of entrepreneurial journey in event & exhibition industry
a. Accessibility – Small & Medium Expo is usually meant for one particular location from Exhibitor & visitors point of view.
b. Cost – Conducting an expo is extremely high cost affair, 30 to 40 % of cost involves space (hotel / convention center) cost.
c. Unwanted expenses – Brand / organizer spend Rs 50k to Rs 3 lakhs in stall fabrication & printing which usually not reusable for next expo
d. Unavoidable situation – Like current pandemic, natural calamities or political instability & other external factors make expo business under risk.
During this 3 month of lock down I worked on my concept once again & launched the solution – savior for expo industry
virtuallexpo
It’s already live & 1st Virtual home fair is done on trial basis for our esteemed client, Yes, it’s unbelievable we have just spent Rs 3.5 k in promotion – we generated 2.5 k visitors to our virtuallexpo space & 95 leads generated during 3 days of expo, thanks to our offline expo experience & database.
Remember Expo market of India itself is Rs 94k cr with potential to grow Rs 8 lakh cr, is not going to end for corona pandemic , yes it may emerge in new form like world of expo
virtuallexpo is the new world of possibilities, an endless opportunity for expo industry .
