Forget everything that you, as an exhibitor, have learned about trade fairs. Simply waiting for sales leads to accumulate at trade fairs no longer works. While in the past many exhibitors have been able to rely on the pull effect of global corporations being there as well, these days they have to attract their own booth visitors. What visitors expect…

“Topic Worlds? Sounds like a sales campaign at a department store. What’s that got to do with me, a B2B supplier?”, you might be asking yourself, when such campaigns are best known to do well by focusing on “all your kitchen needs” or something similar. “What would that achieve in B2B?”, we at LUMITOS were thinking about two years ago.…

Do you know the feeling? You’re interested in buying something, whether privately or professionally, and spend hour after hour searching the internet for the right product. Eventually you get the feeling that it’s got you nowhere. Well, your B2B customers are no different. Just like Lukas, a laboratory manager at a contract laboratory. Plenty of orders have been coming in…

When launching a new product, you must advertise it vigorously to attract as many potential buyers as quickly as possible, because even the best product won’t sell by itself. Why should it be any different for your webinar? Here, too, you need to make it clear to potential participants that there is a webinar of interest to them about a…

The future of trade fairs is uncertain. Attendance at corporate workshops is in continued decline, simply because potential visitors have less freedom to travel.

With this article I want to contribute towards giving B2B companies and their decision-makers…

There are many horror scenarios about the consequences of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on the internet at the moment. Some sites give you useful suggestions on how companies should implement necessary changes. But you will hardly find an answer to a key question: Will it remain legal to use sales leads generated through web portals after the…

Generating sales leads online has become one of the most important marketing objectives for B2B companies. They are typically obtained by placing enquiry forms on the company’s own website, on dedicated landing pages or on B2B internet portals. Users with questions or information requests fill them in, submitting their contact details, all in the expectation of receiving a quick and…

Those who work routinely with programs like Photoshop will appreciate its eyedropper tool, which comes in the shape of a pipette. You can use it to record a desired colour very easily and show its values in all colour models with a simple double click. However, it eases your workflow and saves time if you don’t get out your massive…

I guess we’ve all been through this: you want to liven up a presentation with some nice-to-look-at photos. But most images in commercial databases are much too expensive for your intended purpose or you are unsure about the licensing terms.
