bauma Trade Fair 4.0 for marketing and sales: Set the pace in your own industry segment for construction machines and mining machines with smart 3D demos

Did you know? According to an examination of tradedoublers, potential customers of the European average need 8 days, 19 hours and 30 minutes to make a purchase decision. On average, they “only” visit 1.59 websites with 25.44 clicks. The process of making a purchase is dependent on the respective industry. In things of everyday life such as B. a toothbrush, one will not necessarily speak of a possible “journey of the customer” or customer journey. This looks different with products and investment goods in need of explanation.

If you compare the number of 1.59 websites visited on average with the time spent on more than 8 days, then that's not a lot. However, online visibility plays a very important role in the pre-purchase and information phase (awareness). Anyone who is not found here is already at an insurmountable disadvantage compared to the competition. Therefore, more than ever, digital marketing is a fundamental building block in the customer journey.

However, the numbers also make it clear that the effect of online visibility rapidly becomes less important as the customer journey progresses. In the second phase of the customer journey (consideration), targeted information is still included, but other elements for the customer's decision-making are now quickly becoming much more important.

In the area of ​​products or capital goods that require explanation, such project transactions are also relationship transactions, which are very much about trust, references and convictions. You also want to get to know the people and the philosophy behind the respective products and machines better in order to make the right decision.

While Google searches are one of the most important tools for making a purchase decision in the pre-purchase phase, personal contact during on-site customer discussions or a visit to a trade fair play the next most important role in the decision-making process.

But a trade fair or a customer visit is the next challenge. Compared to before, the nature of the trade fair has changed. In the past, a trade fair was the central point of contact for new products and for obtaining information. With the Internet today, potential customers come to the trade fair stand well informed (see above, average visit to 1.59 websites with 25.44 clicks).

Trade fairs have to perform differently these days. Trade fair appearances can no longer convince people with brochures or other information material that potential customers do not already know about the Internet. On the other hand, the exhibition of products and machines is limited due to the limited exhibition space. You have to make major compromises in the selection of exhibition equipment in order to reach a large number of customers. This means that not every possible customer can be optimally supported and convinced in this purchase decision process. There is then a great risk of losing this one important customer at the trade fair to a competitor who can present exactly the exhibit that the customer is looking for.
