This diverse audience offers a unique opportunity to showcase your products or services to a wide range of professionals in the industry.
Targeted Audience: The conference gathers multi-channel specialists and suppliers, creating a highly targeted audience. This focused group allows sponsors to connect with individuals who are directly involved in the Home Shopping industry, making it an ideal platform to reach potential clients, partners and collaborators.
Enhanced Company Image: Sponsoring a prestigious event can enhance your company's image and reputation within the industry. Being associated with a respected conference like ERA Global can contribute to building trust and credibility among industry professionals.
