SITEX Ventures Into The Realm of Social Media

October 23, 2011 (Powerhomebiz.com) Imagine learning about the latest show deals, product launches and on-the-hour promotions available at an event through your Twitter or Facebook accounts. This will soon become a reality for gadget enthusiasts who plan to visit Singapore’s longest-running consumer electronics and IT exhibition, when it returns for its 23rd edition this November.


The organisers of SITEX will for the first time leverage on social media platforms, Twitter and Facebook real-time stream of information to promote the event, and to encourage active participation on the event’s social networks, a three-month long social media marketing campaign was launched in September.

The SITEX Snapshot Challenge will require participants to locate the SITEX Gizmo Girl and submit a creative picture taken with her, and her oversized gadget. Each participant will subsequently have to garner the support of their individual Facebook network base to “LIKE” their entry. The entry with the most “LIKES” will win one of the four iPads up for grabs throughout the campaign. A total of four challenges will be held from September to November, with the first three challenges having taken place in September and October.

singapore-expoThe first SITEX Snapshot Challenge saw slightly over 100 participants and drew over 1800 fans who participated in the challenge by voting for their favourite entry. The winner of the September challenge, Mr. Ryann Koh who received over 935 “LIKES for his entry had this to say, “I was really surprised and extremely delighted to be the very first winner of the SITEX Snapshot Challenge. I think this is an excellent platform to engage visitors and create awareness for the show. I certainly look forward to visiting the SITEX fan page closer to the event to receive the latest information on the best deals available at SITEX.”

The last challenge is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 3 November 2011 at Raffles Place. More information on the SITEX Snapshot Challenge is available on the event website at www.sitex.com.sg.

According to a study conducted by ComScore Inc on social networking activity in the Asia Pacific region, Singapore is among the top five countries to show the highest penetration of social networking usage with 83.7 percent of its entire web population visiting a social networking site in a month . Facebook ranked as the top social network in Singapore with a whopping 72.1% of its web population actively engaging in social networking activities.

Eddie Chau, Chairman of Singapore infocomm Technology Federation, the organiser of SITEX, agrees in tapping into the power of social media to engage and connect with the marketplace. He says” Social media platforms provide a unique opportunity for organisers to take on a more active approach in how it communicates up to the minute show information to its audience, something traditional advertising vehicles such as print advertising or television commercials are unable to achieve. It also allows information-sharing, where visitors and exhibitors can openly discuss and share information on show offers and product experiences.”

The next exciting edition of SITEX will be held at Singapore EXPO from 24 to 27 November 2011.
