Valuable Social Media Imagery at Shows
Having easily available photography and video for content on websites, social media and brochures is a constant struggle for many marketing departments. Even if there is imagery available, the quality is poor. The cameras of modern mobile phones are better than ever, but often the technical ability of the ‘photographer’ and difficulties at the location means that the image is dark, out of focus, or simply does not show what is needed. Hence why exhibition photography and video is so important.
Ideally, get your professional photographer to drop by, if only for a few hours, for some exhibition photography. They will be able to collate a wide range of quality photographs that can then be used for any marketing requirement in both high and low resolution.
- Photographs taken at the RWM 19 Exhibition (September 2019)
I work very closely with Bunting and spend at least a day with them at most of their UK exhibitions. For several years, I have supported them at RWM, the UK’s leading recycling and waste trade show held at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. On their stand they usually have production sized and operating Metal Separators such as the Eddy Current Separator and Stainless Steel Separator. Great opportunities for photographs and video.
There are also opportunities to see your client’s equipment on other exhibitor’s stands. The Master Magnets Overband Magnet in the photograph is mounted on a Terex mobile crusher. Once again, the equipment is pristine and perfect for photography. This photograph has been widely used to support blogs and social media over the past twelve months. The photographs and video that we accumulate is used when we are writing, submitting and posting press releases, blogs, websites and social media. In fact, many of the photographs shown on the Stainless Steel Separator page of the Master Magnets website have been taken at previous exhibitions.
They will also be used for a post-exhibition blog reviewing the show and informing potential customers who were unable to visit. Every exhibition provides me with another ideal opportunity to add to my growing library of content for my clients.
