3. HOW SOURCE BRAND PREVIEW 2013 WORKED
Through 11 tailored virtual (online) event and networking spaces the SOURCE team introduced trends and a range of brands and key information about each, relevant to the specific topic of the event, including visuals to give a good idea of product designs and range. The opportunity was given to a selection of representatives of brands and designers to speak for their products and answer questions.
Throughout each event, visitors, who included buyers, from independent boutiques to large retailers, department stores, press, agents, investors and influential consumers, all over the world, had the opportunity to post questions that will be relayed to designers and brands to respond.
All events were recorded, and both recordings and visual presentations uploaded to SOURCE Intelligence, and made available to all visitors and promoted over the course of a year.
4. WHY DO WE RUN SOURCE BRAND PREVIEW ONLINE?
The SOURCE Network extends to 127 countries. We can reach, engage, and connect a lot more of this network in an affordable manner through running the event online rather than in a single physical location.
Through running the event online we are able to keep participation costs to a bare minimum, and make the event free for all visitors. We can also avoid the high energy footprint of an event that requires exhibitors and visitors to travel hundreds of miles to attend and take part.
