InterTabac 2024: ELFBAR and GEEKBAR have become "mobile advertisements"
The 2024 InterTabac in Dortmund opened on September 19, attracting numerous tobacco brands showcasing marketing strategies.

On September 19th, 2024, the InterTabac tobacco exhibition in Dortmund, Germany officially opened its doors. As the official media partner for the event, the 2Firsts team has arrived on site to provide comprehensive coverage services.

 

At the exhibition, it was observed that multiple brands participating in this year's Dortmund International Tobacco Exhibition have been showcasing their own marketing strategies in order to enhance brand awareness and attract potential customers. One of the main methods of marketing promotion at this exhibition is the distribution of branded tote bags, including those from major brands such as ELFBAR, GEEKBAR, and HAYATI, which have become "mobile advertisements" at the event.

According to observations on site by 2Firsts, among many brands, ELFBAR's distribution of tote bags is widespread. Staff members of ELFBAR are distributing tote bags with the brand logo at every entrance of the exhibition hall, and participants carrying ELFBAR tote bags can be seen everywhere inside the exhibition hall.

 

It is understood that ELFBAR has also distributed tote bags with the brand logo at previous exhibitions. At this year's Dortmund Tobacco Expo, ELFBAR distributed purple and orange double-sided tote bags with prominent logos, which were prominently displayed at the entrance of the exhibition hall.
