Benefits of Exhibiting
Exhibitions and events play a vital role in the marketing mix and make business sense. They are dynamic, cost-effective and unique, enabling visitors to listen, touch, feel, smell and taste - things that the internet, television, a leaflet or a newspaper advert just cannot achieve.
In 2011 over 700 people attended the National Career Guidance Show North at Savile's Hall, Opposite the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. The National Career Guidance Show, the two day show held in 2011 in London, attracted over 1,500 people.
In a exit poll visitors to the National Career Guidance Show gave the following feedback:
• 96% thought the overall visitor experience was good or excellent
• 95% found their visit worthwhile or beneficial
• 95% would recommend visiting NCGS to a colleague
• 91% rated the seminar programme as good or excellent
• 80% would visit the event again next year
• 79% stayed at the event for over two hours
