Electronica Exhibition Munich 2012: Online Focus

Since Electronica 2010, the focus of catalogue distributors and manufacturers has changed significantly due to the driving growth of the online market. Again with over 90,000 electronics professionals expected to arrive in Munich for the show in November, one can expect to see changes to the mentality of the visitors and 2500+ exhibitors. With this is mind, will distributors and manufacturers be driving customers online at the show through discounted pricing or free delivery? The global distributors have transformed their sales strategies from catalogues to online sales, which highlights the fact that buyers want and expect more; they want live stock levels, pricing, packaging information like reel sizes etc.

Buyers and engineers alike now expect this level of online service and the emergence of price comparison websites such as OEMsecrets.com are equipped to cater for their every need. With live pricing and inventory levels from the industries largest franchised and independent distributors, purchasing professionals can drive down the costs of builds through swiftly locating electronic components. Furthermore, after finding the required parts, the buyer then has the capability of searching for the price needed to secure the order. This is made easy though shopping cart facilities on OEMsecrets.com which send the part directly into the distributors shopping cart ready for order. In consideration, it could be assumed that buyers visiting Electronica are more diligently aware of online buying from the online presence of DigiKey and Mouser, as well as through price comparison websites such as OEMsecrets.com.

Social networking sites will remain at the forefront of the promotional activities of exhibitors at the show. Will social media profiles on sites such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google + play a more prominent role at Electronica than business cards with the accessibility of smart phones and tablets? Will visitors be rewarded for a 'like' on Facebook or a 'follow' on Twitter, and if so, how much is this worth? Are the social networking sites an appropriate platform for visitor feedback? All questions will soon be answered come November. Electronica never fails to disappoint and this year you can be sure to see a completely different mentality from all who will attend the show.
