ITM Bachelor 2. Sem
8035: Introduction Leisure & Event Management
           

 
 

 

 

 

    Events as an industry

     

     

    Event

    Occurs in public sector, not-for-profit sector, commercial sector

     

    Different Classification of the leisure and event activities:

    - By size: Mega - Hallmark - Major - Local/Community - Individual/Private

    - By sector: Sport - Entertainment - Art - Culture - Gambling - Outdoor activities - Tourism

    - By form: One-Time Event - Recurrent event - Fair - Festival - Regular / Occasional / Spontaneous Activity

     

     

    Event industry point of view:

    Events offer a business arena, where millions of decision-making customers per year interact and engage, face-to-face with brands.

    Event attendees choose to be there, making events the truest representation of
    ‘permission’ marketing
    available to brands, and one far removed from the intrusive
    ‘interruption’ marketing alternatives, such TV, radio, Direct Marketing or pop up advertising.

    Events offer multi-sensory marketing; the only business environment where customers can see, touch, hear, smell, even taste the product.

     

     

     

     

    Eventisation of whole product usage:

    Buying process - unpack - consumption - memory connectect to online and offline events

     

     

     

     

     

    Fairs: Example ITB

    Fairs have a long tradition as trading and information platform.

    Even in times of Internet they are still important for B-2-B meetings.

    For B-2-C communication they are however loosing importance.

     

    Difference between other events and fairs:

    - Regular date (usually annually)

    - often long tradition:
       Leipziger Messe since 1165, Scarborough Fair (England) since 1161

    - connected to certain place/city (today sometimes exported or virtualized)
