THE Gulf Property Show will be the first real estate and property event in the world to feature a property search engine on its website.
The annual event will take place at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre from May 12 to 14 under the patronage of the Prime Minister of Bahrain HRH Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa.
The property search feature will allow visitors to view listed properties from exhibitors which are available for sale prior to the exhibition and to contact the sales agents accordingly.The search availability will be promoted extensively around the GCC and globally through social media, print and online advertising as well as through targeted email and sms campaigns.
“The Property Search feature provides companies the opportunity to promote their property portfolios, with a view to exhibition pre-sales and enquiries before the show begins,” said Jubran Abdulrahman, managing director of event organisers, Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions.
Exhibitors have welcomed this initiative.
“It means that as an exhibitor it gives us an opportunity to market our wider portfolio which space at the exhibition may not allow us to. We have been involved with the Gulf Property Show since its inception and are impressed by its innate understanding of business development for the sector,” said Aziz Mithaiwala, managing director of Pegasus Realty, a winner of Arabian Property Awards.
Gulf Property Show 2015 has already attracted interest from realtors selling properties across the Gulf countries as well as in Turkey, Bosnia, Bulgaria, the United Kingdom, Cyprus and Spain.
“The Property Search feature will be added to with an online virtual exhibition for a further 200 days after the exhibition finishes, which provides exhibitors with a wider marketing appeal and also the opportunity to close deals before and after the exhibition from clients who may not be able to visit the show,” added Ahmed Suleiman, exhibition director of the Gulf Property Show.
The Property Search feature is managed by 4Spots, the IT channel partners of Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions.
The Gulf Property Show has garnered support from the Bahrain Property Developers Association, the Middle East Facilities Management Association and the German Chambers of Commerce. It is dedicated to promoting the Kingdom of Bahrain and the GCC’s real estate and property developments.
Gulf Property Show takes place alongside two other major exhibitions, gulfBID and gulf Interiors - the biggest integrated business-to-business showcase for the construction, interiors and property markets in the Northern Gulf.
