13.1.2006

Lucerne. What are the benefits of music festivals for the hotel industry? Even in Switzerland there are more and more cultural events. New ballrooms and festival halls are emerging and others are planned. The consequence: Hoteliers are asked for sponsorship and make a considerable contribution most of the time.

Trade year 2006: Once again companies are missing opportunities
Expensive sales-sponsorship
23.12.2005

Neu-Anspach. The bored expression on the face of the sales representative at the trade fair has the very opposite effect of that desired - already another potential customer walks by the stand. 75 percent of the trade fair budget is simply thrown down the drain - one of the reasons is because 70% of sales reps simply ignore the visitors. A company consultant, specialising in trade fairs, criticises the outdated views of the organisers as well as the exhibitors in her new book. Both simply throw away valuable opportunities with their lack of strategy. A look forward to the coming trade fair year and a survey of the hotel groups.

Munich. The hunt for the right present is becoming increasingly difficult in wealthy western countries - and that not only at Christmas. For this reason "mydays", a Munich based company founded in 2003, with its innovative gift experiences - a driving lesson in a JCB, an overnight stay in an Igloo - is a hot runner. Managing Director Fabrice Schmidt experiences most of his own. The hotels are profiting.
