How do you attract visitors to your booth? Is there a reliable answer to this question? Trade shows provide a valuable opportunity to make serious face-to-face contacts. And as we all know, consumer perception of a brand is greatly influenced by how it is presented in person. To attract visitors, you really need to invest in the image of your booth. But it’s not as easy as it sounds. Yes, the first impression needs to be exceptional, but the entire experience up to the point of leaving the booth should be exceptional as well.

So are you ready for some useful tips? If you take them to heart, your booth at the next trade show will definitely be an experience worth having for you and your visitors.

1.Create an “unmissable” stand

Before the event, look at your competitors’ booths to see how they are decorated. It’s important to get an idea of how they will be using the event infrastructure. You can also place a graphic on the floor or set up an interactive event touch screen in the entryway. Not only large displays can attract visitors – modern technological innovations are even more impressive for most of them.

2.Make an interactive booth

The interactive touchscreen was just the beginning. Nothing is more interesting to visitors than a booth that offers them something new. Create the ideal environment for them to explore, learn and have fun. The opportunities you create to keep visitors interested in your brand are vast. Incorporate games and quizzes into your strategy and make them work for you.

3.Keep it simple

The design of trade show booths is usually overdone. Visitors are irritated by too much information in their field of vision. A simple but aesthetic design is much more effective than a loud one. Promote your brand in the quietest but most accurate way: use a LED video wall or LED tiles and create a tech-friendly but appealing profile. Remember: less is more.

4.Use event lead capture technology

Trade shows are an important lead source. Lead capture should not be missing from your strategy. That’s why you need event badge scanners. You can easily add the attendee’s contact information to your database when you scan their badge. When it comes to lead tracking, make sure you use an application that offers maximum lead tracking. Momencio offers a complete ecosystem of sensors that allow you to automatically log your prospects’ engagement with your brand – from their first presentation at the show to their post-show digital activity, across all your websites. That’s why more and more leading brands are choosing this system at major trade shows around the world. The 360-degree view of leads with real-time insights helps you capture your leads and prepare your next steps after the event. With its modern technological features such as the interactive table, the video wall LED and the touch screen stand, it is ideal for a high-quality presentation of your booth… it simply has everything!

Remember: attracting visitors is only the first step. Turning them into customers remains the ultimate goal!

momencio - AI Lead Enrichment

Overview

The AI Lead Enrichment is a proprietary service of momencio designed to simplify and enhance the
process of capturing and enriching lead information at any type of event.

By using momencio’s mobile or tablet app, you can use the device’s camera to take a clear picture of any form of identification, including, but not limited to, name tags/event badges/business cards. Our AI-driven service leverages OCR technology to identify any information captured and map any relevant data to a contact record. The contact record is then fed to our Lead Enrichment service, which creates a more complete contact record. The process provides exhibitors with the most accurate and up-to-date contact details available.

The Reality of Event Data Collection

In the dynamic environment of event floors, achieving perfect data accuracy can sometimes be challenging. Both traditional lead capture methods using event APIs and AI Lead Enrichment strive for
high accuracy, but various factors can impact the data collected:

  • Personal Email Usage: Some attendees register with personal email addresses.
  • Name Misspellings: Minor errors can occur during registration.
  • Generic Email Addresses: Use of addresses like marketing@domain.com.
  • Broad Registration Categories: Attendees might register under general titles (e.g., Biomedical
    Student).
  • Complex Company Structures: Companies with multiple sub-companies can complicate data
    accuracy.

     

AI Lead Enrichment is specifically designed to manage these scenarios, continually learning and
adapting to improve its accuracy.

Advanced Services for Lead Enrichment

AI Lead Enrichment leverages a suite of advanced tools and services to ensure the highest quality data retrieval:

  • Machine Learning: Continuously improves the accuracy of lead data.
  • AI (Artificial Intelligence): Enhances basic information with additional details.
  • Data Enrichment: Adds valuable contact details to enhance lead profiles.
  • LinkedIn Services: Provides up-to-date professional profiles.

Our Commitment to Excellence

AI Lead Enrichment excels in providing accurate data, yet certain edge cases may present challenges. These include:

  • Private LinkedIn Profiles: Some professional details might be inaccessible.
  • Personal Email Addresses: When registrants use personal rather than business emails.
  • Small-Scale Businesses: Limited online presence can affect data richness.
  • Self-Employed Individuals: Lack of company affiliation might limit available data.
  • Event Staff Contacts: Scanned badges may occasionally belong to event staff.
  • Extensive Sub-Company Networks: Complexity in identifying the correct entity.
  • Security-Sensitive Industries: Industries like military or government may have restricted
    information.


Despite these potential challenges,
AI Lead Enrichment strives to provide the best possible data,
ensuring valuable insights for effective follow-ups.

How AI Lead Enrichment Enhances Your Event Strategy

  1. Data Capture: Seamlessly capture attendee information such as first name, last name, and
    company name.
  2. Data Enrichment: Utilize AI to enhance this basic information with additional details like
    business email and LinkedIn profile.
  3. Immediate Engagement: Send personalized follow-up emails and provide links to personalized
    microsites to maintain engagement.

     

momencio’s AI Lead Enrichment innovative technology ensures high data accuracy and enrichment, significantly improving your follow-up strategies and boosting overall event ROI.

By operating independently of event-specific APIs, ULC offers versatility across various events while enhancing your lead capture and engagement efforts.

Additional Information on Event APIs

Traditional event APIs play a crucial role in modern event management, facilitating tasks like attendee data collection and session tracking. However, there are common challenges associated with these APIs:

  • Data Delays: Delays in data delivery can affect timely decision-making.
  • Inconsistent Data Quality: Variability in data quality can undermine event analytics.
  • Misleading Event Data: Issues like duplicates can lead to inaccurate attendee estimates.
  • Limited Data Scope: Traditional APIs might miss crucial information that enhances attendee
    engagement and event ROI.

     

momencio’s AI Lead Enrichment overcomes these challenges by offering enriched data with high
accuracy, making it a versatile and cost-effective alternative to traditional event APIs.

How AI Lead Enrichment Works

    LinkedIn profile.
