STARRETT ANNOUNCES VIRTUAL EXHIBITION

The L.S. Starrett Company announced that in addition to exhibiting at various trade shows, it will host its first virtual exhibition in September.

“Traditional tradeshows have limitations. We concluded that many attendees use shows to collect material for a team at their home office to collectively make the buying decision,” states Hardy Hamann, VP of Marketing & Business Development. “To that end, we decided to develop our virtual exhibition enabling the entire buying team to view what our products can do for them. A virtual hostess will guide the visitor to the best solution. Videos combined with live-chat and download capabilities will make it easy to gain an overview of Starrett’s latest solutions and to schedule a one-on-one consultation at the client’s place of business as a follow up. As an extra incentive, visitors can win two tickets (including hotel and travel) to a premier US sporting event.”

The virtual exhibit will be open from September 8 – 26, 2014, which makes it easy for people to do their research at their leisure without ever leaving their office.

“We realize that this is a bold decision, which comes with some risk. ‘If you build it, they will come’ is a now famous line of Kevin Costner’s movie, Field of Dreams. While we hope that our customers will embrace this idea, we have always listened to the voice of the customer and are prepared to make adjustments moving forward,” continues Hamann.
