Also for sale at the European market were different types of German beer,Norwegian Soup to Swedish woolen jumpers and slippers.

Bodies: The Exhibition

Tuesday 17th November 2009

I attended The Body Exhibition in Birmingham at The Custurd Factory,I have already attended The Body Exhibition before down in London for a school trip but this time I decided to go on my own with my friend.

The Bodies Exhibition shows the general public a live exhibition of how the human body works showing different real body parts from the bones to the heart to cancer to smokers lungs.

This exhibition is well worth the money! and worth visiting as it opens up many eyes to what the human body is and how it works

The exhibition is still running until the end of December at The Custurd Factory is you want more information then check out: http://www.bodiesbirmingham.co.uk/

Introduction for my two chosen events

Introduction

Hi people,

For the next two months I will be following the different marketing techniques and strategies used for two separate events of my choice. I will be researching, comparing and evaluating the different marketing strategies used for my two chosen events and establishing whether these marketing techniques and strategies are effective or ineffective in captivating awareness and attendance.

My first event I have chosen is “Crufts” which is an exhibition held at the NEC (National Exhibition Centre) in Birmingham on the 11-14th March 2010.

My second chosen event will be The Babyshambles 2009/10 Tour who are an Indie Rock band that are touring different venues across the U.K.



I have decided to research the marketing techniques and strategies of these two events as they are both very popular with the general public and are both large scale events.
Lastly I am really interested in both these events and have already attended the Babyshambles Tour at the O2 Academy in Birmingham 19th December 2009 and hopefully will be attending the “Crufts” exhibition in March 2010.
