events With its great party nights, spectacular shows, unique acts and sensational star guests, the events at TUNING WORLD BODENSEE make it unique.
SETTING A TREND
Since the first TUNING WORLD BODENSEE, everything has changed. The market has improved, new events have sprung into existence, and the TUNING WORLD BODENSEE concept has been imitated many times over – with varying degrees of success. But nothing can match the original, which is constantly expanding and improving. And exhibitors and visitors all agree that TUNING WORLD BODENSEE is cool, trendy, fun, friendly and important!
In 2010, the entire venue was packed with exciting exhibits and events: there were more than 1,000 modified vehicles, 250 exhibitors, 150 club stands and 27 premieres, as well as numerous shows, competitions and parties. This unique exhibition also attracts journalists from all over the world: around 400 media representatives from 18 countries, including 16 TV crews, visited TUNING WORLD BODENSEE.
EXHIBITION 2.0
TUNING WORLD BODENSEE is not only a conceptual trendsetter: it is a marketing trendsetter too. As Europe’s leading tuning exhibition, TUNING WORLD BODENSEE is both interactive and in tune with the times: it has relied on online marketing and contemporary advertising methods since its very early days. From its popular homepage to viral advertising, from e-newsletters to Twitter and Facebook pages, TUNING WORLD BODENSEE has adapted to the changing ways in which its target groups use the media. So in 2011 there will be brand new opportu-
nities for exhibitors to display content on the homepage. Whether they want to display promotional or product-related videos, give social media details or provide barcodes, exhibitors will have the chance to promote themselves on the homepage –before, during and after the exhibition! What is more, there will also be an iPhone app for TUNING WORLD BODENSEE 2011, as well as the existing, tried and trusted mobile solution for other smartphones. If you don’t move with the times, you get left behind. This is a great incentive for us always to keep ahead of the times, and to implement Exhibition 2.0 successfully in every respect.
FEEDBACK
Harald Schmidtke, Managing Director, Association of German Automobile Tuners: “The exhibition concept has succeeded once again. Although there were other important motor sport and tuning industry exhibitions being held at the same time, more than 100,000 visitors came to TUNING WORLD BODENSEE again.”
Lars Beier, Marketing Manager, Eibach Federn: “We had well-informed and positive discussions throughout the weekend. The exhibition visitors ask specifically about our chassis range. The entire TUNING WORLD BODENSEE exhibition stands out thanks to its organisation and large number of visitors.”
Jens Reichert, Aftersales Marketing, BMW: “We did not expect our first appearance at TUNING WORLD BODENSEE to receive such a positive response. We made an amazing number of premium customer contacts.”
Alexander Sperr, Marketing Manager, Rieger Kfz-Kunststoffteile, Design und Tuning GmbH: “Our expectations were more than surpassed. No other exhibition offers even a comparably large number or high standard of visitors. And we found the MY CAR concept completely convincing. We are already looking forward to the exhibition in Dortmund.”
Michael Böhm, Managing Director, Foliatec Böhm GmbH & Co Vertriebs KG: “Even the opening day was sensational for us. We received an excellent number of visitors and there was a lot of interest in our products. Compared to the previous year, we notched a double-digit increase in exhibition sales. For all our ideas, the organisation and service at the exhibition were exemplary.” Petra Bruckhuisen, Marketing, Vredestein GmbH: “As with every other year, we are very pleased with 2010 – thanks both to our visitors and to the perfect organisation of the exhibition.”
Klaus Wohlfarth, CEO, KW automotive GmbH: “All our brands were represented this year and we also presented the new Race Room concept in Friedrichshafen. Our group’s involvement was fully rewarded, and we are very pleased both with our end user contacts and with the encouraging response from dealers.”
