Introducing:
OTS
Omnichannel trade shows (OTS) the new now.
Companies have long used cross-channel content strategy to
elevate user experiences, drive stronger audience numbers
and strengthen relationships across multiple touch points.
The omnichannel process now transforms trade shows into live,
interactive television shows.
Supporting resources are commonplace…your TV is your smart
phone, portable digital device or desktop computer. Every trade
show venue is the set, complete with props and talent. Infused
with 24/7 real-time, quantifiable data, connections cumulate to
closed sales.
Target psychographics, not demographics. Create a dialogue, not a
monologue. Build newfound client and consumer retention
through video-on-demand (VOD)+ constant connectivity.
Access the action. Identify first mover opportunity. Own the new now: OTS
3. OTS: 3 Key Goals
3
1.Produce an OTS online boating program around an actual boat show. Hybrid
to virtual splits are recommended at 60/40% favoring the online experience.
Streamed live + offered via paid video-on-demand (VOD), the OTS format is as
exciting to event seekers as to those joining via their smart portable device or
desktop computer. Seasoned on-cam talent; network television-trained camera
crews; producer and directors with decades of live entertainment are backed
by proven sales and marketing expertise supercharging customized OTS. With
animated HD graphics and rich musical scores, segment intros to show opens
are eye-opening and jaw-dropping. OTS follows a proven programming grid
and topped with live, interactive, monitored chat, timed emails and action-
triggered text messages.
2. Elevate and quantitate all segments with multiple sponsorships and all with
real-time live reporting. Opportunities include segment ownership, flash sales
and time-triggered, pre-produced email offers and action-trigged text
messages,
3. Digital match-making services connecting the right buyers and sellers is a
keystroke away. Always in real-time with private email or DM chat via AI
technology. Miss a segment? All key content is VOD, 24/7 pre, during and post
event via a custom portal site and/or tied to your social media.
