Here are some of the information technologies developed in the fair and shown by Igmweb to every visitor of our stand:

B2B (business-to-business): The electronic commerce among enterprises is the biggest potential of growth, and, in a very close future, will become the main force and power to change for most of the enterprises in the world.
B2B's success relies in the reduction of costs in all the entrepreneurship areas. Just to give an example of the meaning of B2B in Spain, this year over 460.000 million will be moved.

Igmweb is a company that dedicates a big deal of its functions to B2B and couldn't miss this appointment.

B2C (business to costumer): It's a less promoted path, with a slowest growth than B2B. This sector is limited by the fear of causing conflicts with the direct channel.
For the "business to costumer" internet is the intermediate channel between the enterprise that offers its service or product and the costumer. This is a more developed use in some countries than in others, due to different cultural and political facts.
B2C offers comfort , quickness and efficiency. You are now able to shop through another distribution channel. This brings us to amplify the relation between the entrepreneur and the consumer, as well as to offer services as: consulting, integrating, and advising…
Igmweb develops this communication tool and makes possible that everyday more and more consumers try and sustain Internet as a channel of buying or obtaining any product or service.

All this is beginning to have an impact on the activities of the companies operating in the sector.

Why does Imgweb participate in fairs and what results does it obtain from it?

A ferial is meant to gather all the organization belonging to the same area in some established day and place, and let them offer their products or services to all the visitors.
For a consumer, it is much easier to obtain information or contact the enterprise or enterprises, or to get the product or service itself, by assisting to a fair where he can meet all the show rooms.
