How to run a successful Virtual Trade Show with DaveAI

Running a roadshow or a virtual trade show is one of the most highlighted events in the textile industry, as people look forward to it every year. Wholesalers, retailers, importers, and exporters from all over the world travel to come and view different collections of apparel on sale by different vendors. Every design is made into a sample and buyers can feel the fabrics to decide what to order in bulk.

But now, the entire scenario has changed as people find it a health risk to travel and physically attend a tradeshow. In such situations, hosting a Virtual Trade Show would be one of the perfect solutions. Imagine the whole show running online where vendors showcase their designs and collections in a virtual environment and buyers can view and select them, simply by sitting at home. They can view the products on a mobile device or even a webpage where their purchase behavior can be analyzed and can be provided with the right purchase decision. The main thing about virtual tradeshows is the ease of use for both buyers and vendors. This is where the textile industry is headed.

How does it happen?
A virtual tradeshow connects the apparel and textile industry to make a digital product showcase. This online B2B event brings various brands, companies, partners, etc. under a single roof.

The exhibitors are vendors from various companies who are in the retail industry. These vendors can build virtual spaces to exhibit information in the form of images and 3D models related to their products, ensuring that they would get an experience similar to that of a conventional tradeshow.

The attendees are buyers who view these collections and place bulk orders. The main buyers who attend a tradeshow are:

• Key accounts, who are given priority for bulk orders.
• MBO’s i.e Multi branded outlets, which are independent stores.
• EBO’s i.e Exclusive branded outlets, which house a single brand.

Wholesalers, retailers, importers, and exporters are the others who attend a virtual tradeshow.
