Expo Magazine
Share
Nearly 40 percent of B-to-B marketers' budgets in 2011 were spent on trade shows, according to a recent survey of 300 industry executives by the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR). While the 39.2 percent allocation was down slightly from the 40.2 percent allocation in 2010—it is up from 33.9 percent in 2009 and 35.8 percent in 2008. Even more significant: B-to-B exhibiting dollars soar against all other channels. Trade magazine advertising, the next biggest channel, garnered only one-quarter of the money that exhibitions commanded, with a market share of 10.5 percent in 2011, according to CEIR.
