So, there are various issues that come across as well. So, it is discussed here that what are the issues and barriers that are to be faced in the trade show event and what can be the factors that are added in order to make specific recommendations and modifications. All the issues are discussed as following :

• As there is a huge amount of competition in the trade show markets, so it seems quit challenging for the organisers to organise a trade show event. The whole process of the trade show are divided in separate phases. The first phase is termed as identifying the basic requirements and needs of the customers.
• There are enormous number of products available in the trade show events, so it is quite difficult to recognise what the customers actually want and what can satisfy them. The owners and organisation of trade show events makes involvement of personal as well as direct. It is because sometimes the expected expenditure of the trade show events cannot be met. That is the reason, they have to make use of personal marketing as well. Also, unlike personal marketing, there are various other ways as well that can act barrier here. So, it can be avoided so that it cannot act as a challenge in the implementation of the operations of the trade show events.

• Also, audience fragmentation is also considered as one of the major barriers and challenges that are to be faced in the trade show events. It has also been observed that this however leads to the minimization in the mass communication. The further results of the same turn to be quite challenging for the trade show events.

So, these can be considered as some barriers and factors that acts as a sort of challenging factor for these trade show events. Therefore, some factors that can be involved in order to make some sort of modifications and improvements in the process are discussed as under :

• The factor of creation of knowledge to the audience can actually act as a positive factor because by the means of non personal marketing, it can seem easy for making communication channels. An increase in the communication channels can actually help the trade show events to gain a sort of popularity, thus they can also gain a huge popularity as well as productivity rate.

• Before making implementations in a new trade show event, they can interact with customers about their requirements and needs. It is important because this can act as a smart step by the trade show events and organisers. It is because by these means, they can be able to understand the preferences of the people. So, they can implement the same as well in order to wish a great rate of audience.
• Also, just because the organisers of the trade show events cannot get confused about the perceptions of the customers, integrated communication means can be involved. It is because while the expansion of a trade show event in some other country or area, it is quite hard to have a communication with every single person. So, integrated communication channels can actually act as a beneficial factor for the same, excluding any further complications and issues (Brew and Settle, 2017).
• Also, the evaluation of the trade show events can be improved as well. Various tangible advantages can be considered while the implementation of the trade show events. These tangible advantages can be considered as involvement of new customers by different means, involving more modified methods and ways of marketing and sales of the products and offers. It also makes involvement of the technical updates that can be used to help the trade show events to cope with the current market trends. It is because the requirements of the people change as per the current trends. So, the involvement of the technological aspects can actually prove helpful for the trade show events in order to cope with the curren needs and requirements of the customers.
