What is field marketing?
Field marketing is a form of marketing in which brand activities are carried out directly in the field – in locations such as trade fairs, retail spaces, shopping centres, outdoor events or roadshows. The goal is to reach customers where they live, work or shop, and to support sales through personal contact, live demonstrations and targeted brand communication.
For Clever Frame, field marketing is closely connected with mobile and flexible presentation solutions. Modular constructions, magnetically mounted graphic panels and portable setups make it possible to build branded spaces in different locations while maintaining a consistent visual identity and high presentation quality.

- activities carried out in multiple locations and formats,
- close cooperation between marketing and sales teams,
- use of event, retail and outdoor spaces as key touchpoints.
