6. Buying behaviors have completely changed since the
Internet has become a common part of our lives. In the old
days, a consumer might see an advertisement in a
magazine and go to the store to purchase the item, with
no research in between.
Today, consumers (and event planners) are educating
themselves about products and services, going online to
gather both official and anecdotal information before they
make a purchasing decision.
A strong social and digital presence is critical for your
success across all revenue centers.
