The Future of Tradeshows

At the beginning of the pandemic, tradeshows and conventions were put to a halt. Many organizations shifted to virtual tradeshows, but attendee engagement lacked compared to in-person events. Virtual events have filled the void for in-person conferences, but as COVID-19 restrictions begin to lift, it’s time to start thinking about the future of tradeshows, post-pandemic.

According to a survey conducted by Wharton Magazine, “73.5 percent of respondents would rather attend an in-person tradeshow than a virtual event.” (2021). In-person trade show participation drives continued sales to existing consumers, sales to new buyers who are dissatisfied with their current providers and buyers attracted to a new product or service offerings. As restrictions begin to lift in certain areas, it is probable that in-person tradeshows will commence before the end of 2021.

Although people would rather attend an in-person tradeshow or convention, there is still much success for using virtual events for lead generation purposes. Businesses are proving success by using virtual events for business development. There are other benefits to virtual events including savings on resources, more attendees, big data opportunities and room for increased exposure. It is very likely that virtual tradeshows will continue to take place, post-pandemic.

Whether you are organizing an in-person or virtual tradeshow, Vernon has the right technology to keep your event running smoothly. From laptops and tablets to projectors and portable Wi-Fi, we’ve got you covered for all of your event needs. Talk to one of our rental experts today!

The Benefits of Remote Work

Remote work here to stay!

With a large number of the population working remotely due to impacts of the pandemic, remote work has shown to increase employee productivity, lower operating costs and reduce the use of sick days. COVID-19 has shifted from traditional business office settings to home office environments; however, this has provided flexible working times as well as ensuring the safety of employees.

Forbes Magazine mentions, “Remote work is not going anywhere any time soon.” (2020). “Companies would be wise to prioritize the “remote work revolution” as a strategy to enhance their top objectives in this new decade.” With this in mind, there have been five proven benefits of remote work for companies.

Productivity – Remote workers are an average of 35 – 40 per cent more productive while working from home.

Performance – Remote work and location independence can produce results of 40 per cent in fewer quality defects.

Engagement – An increase in productivity and performance can be combined to create effective engagement, with a 41 per cent decrease in absenteeism.

Retention – 54 per cent of employees said they would switch job roles if another company provided more flexibility.

Profitability – Organizations will have savings of $11,000 per year per part-time remote worker, which is equivalent to a 21 per cent increase in profitability.

Many businesses have suggested they will continue to provide remote working accommodations for their employees, post-pandemic. Vernon can help you keep your business running smoothly by supporting all your rental needs, from installing a mobile office to aiding you with a virtual conference.
