Previous Activity
Weibo account created in 2009 has only 663 followers -- Using # to define topics (#furniturenews, #industry news) -- Latest exhibtion news, media news (2-3 posts per day) -- Offer industry news for the exhibition -- Information about products/brands/attendees/exhibitions -- Promoting interactive element at the show (e.g.bartender competition) Conversation around the show by exhibitors, venues, exhibition companies, brands
Areas of improvement
Content is one dimensional and not making the most of the conversation around the show. Should be posting more engaging content to increase sharing, engagement and profile growth. No presence on Renren or Kaixin Inconstancy between UBM shows and no overarching corporate profile

Opportunity
To ensure a joined up strategy between eastern and western attendees To strengthen awareness for SinoExpo in China through the use of Chinese language social networking sites To deepen the relationships with media To build connections with Chinese brands/business Grow the profile and keep the community active to pre-promote future shows and drive event registration
