Elsevier Exhibits

Each year, we exhibit our books at a number of global tradeshows and conferences. It’s a great way for us to meet face-to-face with authors, reviewers, readers, and customers.  The events we attend are strategically selected, providing a unique platform to promote our books to targeted audiences across a variety of subject areas.

Although we attend many events throughout the year, there are a few key tradeshows and conferences we hope to see you at in 2014:

Exhibit Promotions

To drive business prior to a tradeshow/conference, and throughout, we typically employ a variety of marketing activities:

• Pre-Show Email or Direct Mail Campaigns: Emails or mailers include information on key books, discount codes, and booth details
• Social Media: Posts via our social media accounts generate buzz and drive traffic to our booth
• Exhibit Presence: Booths feature the latest books, catalogs, and special promotion flyers
• Special Exhibit Discount: Conference discount codes are distributed to attendees or non-attendees
• Conference Email/Mail Lists: Purchased contact lists are provided with event and key book information

Featured here are examples of exhibit promotions including a postcard, banner ad, and email campaign sent to conference attendee lists.  In addition a social media campaign was deployed prior to, during, and after the event.

How You Can Help

There a number of ways you can assist with the promotion of your book prior to, or during, events that you plan to attend.
