Warming up the audience
When it comes to conferences, it’s important to consider the level of competition at hand. A great marketing strategy at your booth will count for nothing if there is no audience, so you must first attract attendees to your stand.
To do that, you should alert attendees to your presence at the event and what they should expect from you. Create anticipation through the following strategies:
- Post on social networks and add applicable hashtags
- Use pop-ups and banners on your own website
- Publish SEO-optimised blog articles
- Employ PPC advertising with relevant keywords and target locations where your expected audiences are concentrated
- Promote through the host company’s banner ads and print ads (such as their magazines and event guides)
AFFTER utilised these strategies and went all out to boost visibility and engagement pre-conference. This resulted in a large crowd at its booth that ended with highly productive networking sessions and a wildly successful party during the event itself.
Cutting through the crowd
How do you ensure your booth isn’t just another stop in a long day of networking? By providing memorable experiences that attendees will not find anywhere else!
AFFTER’s exclusive partner, Parimatch, brought football legend Gary Cahill to the conference floor, drawing at least 100 people to the booth. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, participants even stood a chance to win extraordinary prizes, including tickets to a Chelsea match, an exclusive opportunity to attend a private training session with the team and a sought-after autograph session with Gary himself.
