London, 14 July 2022: RX (Reed Exhibitions) www.rxglobal.com today released findings from its latest global industry research, conducted to understand its customers’ wider challenges and attitudes to events in an ever-changing Covid landscape.
The RX Customer Mindset Tracker is an evolution of the Covid Barometer research the company released in 2020 and 2021. Developed by the RX Global Digital Insights team, the Mindset Tracker aims to understand customers’ current business challenges and priorities.
Face to face remains a key priority for survey respondents, with 78% of businesses stating that trade shows offer them something unique that cannot be created elsewhere. This is up from 68% in 2021.
The RX Customer Mindset Tracker shows that the top five challenges for exhibitors and attendees post-pandemic include; reduced sales, meeting new customers, and keeping on top of market trends – problems that trade shows are uniquely equipped to address.
RX events have evolved in the past two years and now include digital and additional year-round opportunities for customers, enabling exhibitors and visitors to build relationships, and drive growth for their businesses. New digital and data analytics tools are enabling RX customers to get even greater value from their participation, by capturing more leads, increasing brand awareness, closing the loop on event ROI, and benchmarking themselves against the competition.
Gaby Appleton, Chief Digital Product Officer, for RX commented: “The research confirms that there is a strong desire among exhibitors and visitors to grow their businesses and expand to new products and markets. RX is well-positioned to help them do this, not only through our global portfolio of face to face events, but also through our digital lead generation, networking, meeting and brand promotion tools.”
