Trade shows are back! Post-covid the business world is waking up to the benefits of going direct to their target audiences once again.
The global trade show industry is expected to reach a value of $18.5 billion by 2023. This growth was in evidence at the Agritechnica trade show attended by the 8848 team. Stretching over 20 halls, organisers suggest some 500,000 people attended the week-long show.
8848 was there to support Goodyear Farm Tires with PR and social media content. The company unveiled a new product and displayed its exclusive Low Sidewall range at the German agricultural show.
Lindsay Hart, Sales Director for Goodyear Farm Tires Europe, said: “Agritechnica is always a real highlight in our calendar and one that generates a lot of excitement amongst our teams across the world.
“Missing out on the event in 2021 due to the pandemic was incredibly disappointing but it’s great to return to Hanover.”
Increasing popularity of trade shows
Several factors are contributing to the increased popularity of trade shows.

In today’s digital world, it is more important than ever for businesses to connect with potential customers on a personal level. Trade shows provide a valuable opportunity to do this.
The growing popularity of experiential marketing
Trade shows are a great platform for businesses to create engaging and memorable experiences for potential customers. This can help to build brand awareness and generate leads.
