In 2015, Internet sales rose by 23% and have been predicted to increase at this pace throughout 2016. Plus, Amazon now accounts for 26% of total Internet sales. The worry is that if this rise in Internet sales continues at this pace, retailers will not make enough money to cover the rising operational costs and as a result, companies will be forced to close down stores in order to survive. Citipeak Events believe that in order to avoid this, companies must look towards event marketing campaigns to strengthen their current business structure.
Event marketing is the most effective form of marketing available to companies looking to drive profits and increase sales to customers. It is the practice of delivering promotional messages directly to potential and existing customers on an individual and personalized basis at private hire event sites, as opposed to through a mass medium such as the Internet. It is this individual basis that helps to build brand loyalty between the consumer and the brand from the very beginning.
