Brothers, Battles & Bounty

Back to the Booth: Why We’re Returning to Tradeshow Marketing

Stefan Gfesser, Martin Gfesser, Andreas Gfesser, Anton Gfesser Season 2 Episode 4

In this episode of Brothers, Battles & Bounty, we’re diving deep into tradeshow marketing.

We break down how tradeshows used to be our bread and butter for growing our family-owned manufacturing business, why we pulled back during the rise of digital marketing, and what finally pushed us to return to the in-person marketing game. From B2B connections and networking on the show floor to the realities of budget and ROI, we’re sharing real stories, wins, and lessons learned.

If you're a business owner, marketing director, or anyone in the manufacturing or service industry trying to figure out whether to invest in tradeshows again—this one’s for you.
