Providing entertainment at your stand will draw in bigger crowds and capture the attention of senior buyers with budget to place.

Think outside the box. What can you do that is completely unexpected but will draw in a crowd? Your competitors will have their own surprises up their sleeves, so it's essential to get your thinking hats on as this is fundamental.

As there are hundreds of different companies exhibiting at the show, you can set yourself apart from others by hosting a competition to engage with visitors for longer, increasing your chances of turning meetings with new visitors into clients.

Capture their data and host a competition such as; guess the number of sweets in the jar, guess the weight of an item, hold a raffle or bring the Wheel of Fortune to allow visitors to give it a go. 

Make your stand a crowd magnet. Create a buzz onsite and online by giving visitors something to talk about on social media about your company. Why not have a musician at your stand? Perhaps a magician, caricaturist or even a circus act?

Giveaways are a simple yet very effective way of starting a conversation with visitors. This method has stood the test of time in drawing in a crowd.

Create a lasting impression and give visitors an item to remember your brand by.

Let us know if you have any giveaways at your stand and we will promote this on the website on social media during the show.
