Alongside high levels of service orientation, Koelnmesse also places particular emphasis on the quality of the overall fair experience and offers the best conditions for extensive media exposure.
Located at the heart of Europe Cologne is a winning location, not simply because of its modern exhibition grounds but also due to its excellent infrastructure for exhibitors and visitors alike. Located centrally in Germany and at the heart of the European motorway and railway networks, Cologne is easy to reach and offers optimal transport connections including an ICE (high-speed train) station located in the direct vicinity of the exhibition grounds and at just a fifteen-minute drive to the international Cologne / Bonn airport. Orientated towards target group requirements The leading representative of the tire and wheels specialists in Germany, the Association of the German Tire Industry and Vulcanisation Trade (Bundesverband Reifenhandel und Vulkaniseur-Handwerk e.v.), has opted for Cologne as the location to host the industry s leading trade fair and numerous renowned companies are following its lead. A phased, integrated marketing campaign appealing to target groups across all channels will precede the fair.
The ideal location, trail-blazing strategies In May 2018, THE TIRE COLOGNE will celebrate its premiere, but will already be quite well known by then. This is because our target group-orientated marketing activities will guarantee that the relevant decisionmakers and trade visitors are well aware of all the benefits of the new trade fair well in advance of THE TIRE COLOGNE. To achieve this goal, we have developed a long-term, integrated communications concept. At the heart of the campaign lies the active acquisition of the core target groups, the attraction of new target groups from related sectors as well as the further internationalisation of the event. In order to generate as much interest as possible, we intend to commence the campaign far in advance of THE TIRE COLOGNE start date by proactively advertising the new meeting venue of the tire industry through all channels. Making our presence felt: In order to reach as many disseminators as possible in Germany and abroad and to promote THE TIRE COLOGNE in direct talks, we will have an on-site presence at industry trade fairs and events worldwide from 2015 onwards. We will attract further attention for THE TIRE COLOGNE by way of press conferences and road shows. Integrated approach: By 2018, we will have gradually built up and intensified our publicity relations activities and marketing for THE TIRE COLOGNE. Indeed we have already started on many channels: from direct marketing measures and social media campaigns to classic advertising and PR collaborations. Take advantage of our network: Our global network and our representation abroad mean that Koelnmesse is represented in over 100 countries and can therefore approach potential exhibitors or visitors onsite and in a targeted manner and provide each group with individually designed customer service. We are here for you: A major factor of a fair s success is the team behind it. The combined acquired experience and specialist expertise of our contact partners means that everything will go according to plan starting from the development of the concept to its implementation.
