Connecting with
what women want
It can be a marketer’s challenge to identify the needs, expectations and ambitions of
today’s woman.
She has a hectic lifestyle and limited time and her savvy and inquisitive nature means
she has interest in entertainment, current affairs, travel, beauty, fashion, finance, her
home, health and nutrition.
She craves information, explanation and guidance. She’s highly receptive and
continually looking for new ideas, products and services.
Getting face-to-face time in a like-minded community where she can sample, touch,
hear, taste and smell is a dream come true. Having the opportunity to get up close
with a Cleo bachelor, be part of the DOLLY model search and receive advice from
the fitness experts at Cleo Fitness and the health team from Good Health will ensure
that Girls’ Day Out is a fun and engaging consumer experience.
Cleo, DOLLY and Good Health's Girls’ Day Out is one
of the most innovative marketing opportunities of 2015.
Why a Festival?
Fun, intelligent and always up-to-the-minute, it’s not difficult to see why
Cleo and DOLLY endure as two of Australia’s most well-known young
women’s brands.
As an ever evolving voice for a current generation of young women, they
remain fresh, light-hearted and Aussie in tone; connected and canny in
their interpretation of today’s world and advice on handling life and
relationship issues; and a constant riot of colour, inspiration and advice in
the areas of fashion, beauty and entertainment!
Health and wellbeing is increasingly important for today’s women and the
experts from Good Health and Cleo Fitness will bring added dimensions
of consumer engagement, and the opportunity for brands to tune into the
wellness, health and holistic aspirations of our target market.
Girls’ Day Out will deliver a cross-channel marketing opportunity,
providing both cost-effective sales and scope for promotional activities
amongst a typically hard to reach demographic.
Face-to-face contact and connection with customers is the key
component of this event, which is truly set to influence and build
brand advocacy with visitors.

HOW TO BE
A MUST-SEE
Research shows:
companies that
pre-promote before an
exhibition achieve
better results.
That’s because around 76%
of visitors decide which
exhibitors are on their
must-see list before they
arrive.
Visitors normally have
limited time at an exhibition
and want to maximise their
experience – pre-promotion
can increase traffic to your
stand by around 33%.
We can offer a number
of tools to help increase
your stand traffic and
maximise the results of
your investment.
