Have a contest to get results at trade shows! Check out this article for tips https://www.esntradeshow.com/blog/use-trade-show-contests-drive-traffic-booth/
why do trade show contests at your booth?
Because if done right, they produce results! More traffic to your booth, more opportunities to engage with customers, clients and connect with prospects.
Here are a few trade show contest ideas:
Offer Multiple Prizes
Have visitors drop business cards in a special prize box (the prizes better be something that people will want to win). Then have people come back at certain times during the day for the smaller prizes and end of the day for the grand prize. If your prizes make it worth it, this tactic keeps them coming back and opens up multiple opportunities for staff to connect with the visitors.
Prize Wheels Attract Attention
Have a big, spin the prize wheel. Every time I see one at a trade show, there is always a crowd at that booth. People love it.
Use Social Media
Use a hashtag. Visitors can take a picture of themselves at your trade show display, then tag your business’ booth picture and post it to Instagram or Twitter along with the conference hashtag. It’s an excellent way to gain additional exposure via the conference hashtag.
Interactive Games
Create an interactive game for visitors to participate in. A video game, a puzzle, even a beanbag toss game that has a high score tally. People will come back by the booth to see if they still have the highest score.
Have a prize worth winning to keep them coming back.
trade show contest prize ideas
The ideas are endless when it comes to prizes. It all depends on your budget and how much attention you want to attract from your trade show contest.
