Sponsorship
Sponsoring the ERA Global Conference offers a valuable opportunity for companies looking to make a significant impact in the Multi-Channel Home Shopping industry. Here are some key benefits and considerations associated with sponsoring the conference.
International Exposure: With international attendees participating from over 40 countries, sponsoring the conference provides a platform for your brand to gain exposure on a global scale. 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.
Networking Opportunities: The conference provides a conducive environment for networking. Sponsors have the chance to interact with attendees, engage in meaningful conversations, and build relationships. Networking is a key aspect of business growth and this conference offers a concentrated gathering of industry experts.
Brand Visibility: Sponsors typically receive visibility through various channels, including event materials, signage and promotional activities. This increased visibility can lead to higher brand recognition and recall among conference attendees.
