‘Shoe leather marketing’ is on hold

So what do we recommend now?

Like a lot of public life, from concerts to sports, the whole events market has come to a complete standstill for the foreseeable future. Suddenly a key marketing channel has been taken away from the marine sector from the key yacht and boat shows to marine trade shows (except for FLIBS at this time) plus a raft of other industry events, awards and showcases.
The maxim ‘show and tell’ was particularly relevant to both the yachts, that are the stars of the shows, but just as importantly to the long supply chain that adds the foundation to the industry. So what is the answer to losing this marketing channel?

Rethinking the marketing strategy

Looking beyond the optics of the marine leisure industry, all other vertical markets that revolve around trade shows for product launches and conferences for their marketing focus are facing the same challenge of re-calibrating their marketing strategy to compensate for the loss of the ‘showcase’ channel.
