Conference "High-Tech Marketing" (2008)

The 3rd International Conference

"High-Tech Marketing: Technologies of creating a demand for new high-tech-products"

High-tech-products and services differ from the other categories as they practically always change usual models of usage and the style of life (i.e., have a “breakable” character), thus, complicating their acceptance by a market. So, creating a demand for high-tech-products is a more complex task that is set for the specialists working in high-tech-sphere, if compared with the other branch markets.

As the market dictates to the companies working on it a constant demand in introducing new high-tech-products, the problem of promoting new services to the masses and the problem of creating a demand becomes permanent, and creating a demand has become rather an art than a science.

How to arouse a customer’s wish to buy a new product?

How to make the customer need this product, how to attract his attention?

Which strategies of advancing high-tech-products are the most successful?

The 3rd International Conference “High-Tech Marketing: "Technologies of creating a demand for new high-tech-products” tried to answer these and other acute questions.
