Trade Fairs
Connect with Prospects

Trade shows have been hit hard in these Corona Virus times. All shows in Germany have been either cancelled or postponed, prohibiting meetings or deals that may otherwise have been concluded.

With this in mind, we’d like to offer you another means to connect with potential clients. Messe Munich has an online program called Trusted Targeting. It allows you to target your potential clients and get your name and products in front them without leaving your home office. You need not be a client of Messe Munich, it is offered to EVERYONE.

Trusted Targeting can be used in various ways.
  • Lead Generation
  • Cross industry testing (how popular is your product among other sectors of your industry?)
  • Building brand awareness
  • Trade Show preparation (maybe not relevant right now, but for future use)

Please contact Karin Vogelsang kvogelsang@tssworldwide.com with any questions, or contact one of the specialists at  Trusted Targeting . We are more than happy to help you.
