Connect with picture buyers!
Build stronger relationships with your exsiting clients, and broaden your client base in all market sectors. We admit only professional picture buyers and researchers, ensuring your time and investment is entirely productive - more so than advertising and a lot more fun!
Our next expo will be in New York on Oct. 13, 2010, at which we expect to welcome in the region of 1,000 art buyers and researchers. Take this opportunity to meet them face to face. Details and costs of all our exhibit packages are available here. We also offer a wide range of marketing opportunities at our events, from advertising in the show guide or on-screen at the event to distributing literature.
More than 700 picture buyers from all market sectors including advertising, design, publishing, magazine, newspapers, education and travel attended our New York 2009 expo. That diversity is replicated at all our events and means that whether your visual media business is specialist or generalist, small or large, well-established or newly-formed, you will meet buyers interested in talking to you.
How do we ensure a great turnout at our image expos?
Entry is free to professional picture buyers and researchers. Quality refreshments are made available throughout the day. We advertise the event in key trade journals, such as GD USA.
We distribute press releases to all relevant print and online media.
Our partner organizations actively promote our events to their members.
We direct mail thousands of picture buyers.
We send regualr e-mails to thousands of picture buyers in the six weeks before an event.
We run a highly popular prize drawing at each event.
We organize educational and professional development seminars.
But the main reason picture buyers come is to find new sources of visual media, meet exisiting suppliers, pick up the latest marketing materials, learn about industry trends, and socialize with peers. The overwhelmingly positive feedback we receive from past events is a sure indicator that picture buyers want to meet you!
