7 Techniques for Fostering Engagement and Impressing Event Attendees

In trade shows or booth decorations nowadays, there is an increasing use of innovation to organize product displays. This is done to create uniqueness and differentiate according to each brand's identity. However, neglecting to create engagement through activities within the booth may cause your booth to blend in with others, ultimately resulting in customers failing to remember your brand.

This article aims to highlight the concept of booth design with 7 techniques for fostering engagement and impressing event attendees. These techniques can be utilized to attract attendees to trade show events and to establish strong relationships between brands and customers.

1. Creating Games or Competitions within the Booth

Providing games, activities or competitions within the booth is about creating a new experience for trade show attendees to actively engage with the brand and quickly remember it. Especially with competitive games, attendees are encouraged to participate and feel involved, aiding in effectively communicating brand information and enhancing brand credibility.                                                        

After the activity, booth organizers can also offer prizes for participation, such as gift vouchers, promotions, or product samples, to further solidify brand recall and foster positive relationships with customers.

2. Presenting Business Through Large-Scale Display Screens

Presenting content, videos, or registrations through large-scale display screens, such as touch-enabled video walls or interactive displays, helps attract trade show attendees to your booth.

3. Showcasing Products Through Video Walls

With features like vivid colors and precision, video walls allow trade show organizers to customize color schemes and display schedules according to their needs. Video walls serve as an engaging medium to interact with customers through interesting content, or even immerse event attendees into a virtual world, thereby enhancing brand recognition and leaving a positive impression.

4. Creating a Podcast Studio at Your Booth

Podcasts have become a highly effective platform for advertising, often driving more purchasing desire than other formats. Hence, setting up a podcast studio or live streaming at the booth not only stimulates purchasing desire but also allows trade show attendees to watch or listen to interesting discussions in real-time. Additionally, booth organizers can stream live broadcasts to viewers at home or record content as per their preferences.

5. Demonstrating Products or Testing Through AR Technology

Demonstrating products or testing them via AR technology helps create memorable and exciting experiences compared to 2D photos or slideshows. Additionally, using VR technology for product testing is suitable for showcasing products that cannot be physically brought to your booth, especially for companies in the automotive or furniture industries. Utilizing AR technology helps attract potential customers' interest in products and increases engagement with the brand.

6. Creating Mobile Phone Charging Stations

Setting up mobile phone charging stations at your booth can quickly attract trade show attendees and create positive relationships with the show's organizers. It's an interesting way to create a "Customer Journey" by allowing attendees to charge their phones while exploring documents or other brochures to learn more about your business (creating awareness), leading to the decision-making process and eventually making a purchase.

7. Providing VR Experiences for Trade Show Attendees

Creating VR content is one of the most distinctive exhibition concepts for attracting trade show attendees to your booth and leaving a lasting impression. By integrating virtual reality with your booth through 360-degree videos, such as virtual tours of buildings, housing projects, or other presentations, attendees can have a clearer and more immersive view.

Therefore, trade show exhibitions should not only focus on booth design or decoration to attract attendees but also consider creating participatory experiences and making positive impressions on attendees. This approach helps in brand recall and building good relationships with your brand, leading to purchase decisions and ultimately turning them into 'customers.'
