Trade shows are great publicity. The trouble is, all represented companies are competing for attention. How can you overcome this? Digital signage for trade shows helps you stand out.

Forget banners. Forget billboards. Digital signage for trade shows is your answer to getting seen and boosting your engagement. Turn heads with a professional and modern digital screen.

1. Create a buzz on social

2. Encourage repeat visits

Advertising your stall’s schedule will keep people interested in your stall throughout the day. This can be a great strategy as it will drive people to visit your stall more than once. Have different things on throughout the day to maximise the time people stay at your stall, and to keep them coming back. A digital screen can advertise this for you, so you only need to focus on converting those interested into customers. Digital signage software will allow you to schedule this content too. For example, if you have an hour of showcasing your product’s features at 11am – 12pm you can have a video of the features scheduled to play during this time.

For example, if you are at a business orientated tradeshow. You may want to create content about having a industry expert talk at 3pm. Showgoers won’t want to miss this chance to aqquire insight from an industry expert, so they will remember to come back at 3pm. This is sure to generate extra traffic to your stall and also for your business.

3. Be helpful and get appreciated

Events can be a little chaotic. Whether you are exhibiting or organising the trade show, why not use a screen to help guide attendees? Advertise where the nearest toilets are, where they can grab some food, or provide a map of the tradeshow stands. This will be greatly appreciated by all and, if you are exhibiting, your company won’t go unnoticed for looking after people. Just make sure your brand is prominent.

Digital finding is one of the main uses of digital signage. It’s used in a wide range of industries on a number of devices. An interactive digital kiosk could also be placed at a tradeshow allowing showgoers to; check in, find out where to go, and even check times/durations of upcoming events.

4. Amplify your Offering

One of the best things about going to a trade show is coming home with lots of free goods! Use your digital signage for trade shows to advertise any promotional gifts you are giving out to direct crowds of people to you. Even if you aren’t offering freebies, give people a reason to come over and stop for a chat and make this reason heard.

To go a step further you could combine your freebies with a hashtag to be used on your social media. Your digital signage can then show pictures, tweets etc. about the freebies that tradeshow goers will see. Not only will this create more ‘social buzz’ it will also entice them to come and check out your stall. Once they’re at your stall you can showase all the great things your company/product does.

5. Wow Your Audience

Static billboards and posters tend to blend into the background and are not enough to make your stall stand out amongst others. Digital signage for trade shows can be a great way to really make your stand pop out and stop pontential customers to have a closer look.  Digital signage will allow your company or brand to display content that correctly reflects your brand. For example, this could be your latest promotional video, footage of the fantastic work you do, or even something more creative such as a video wall.

However, it doesn’t stop there. You can also make your digital signage interactive, which will boost engagement for your stall. Simply integrate your stall’s screen with one of our RFID readers and you’re good to go. When someone touches an object or card recognised by the signage system, it will trigger specific content to play. For example, you may have product cards which when touched, display a video about how that specific product works.

Static billboards and paper posters just don’t cut it anymore. You need to think differently to grab people’s attention. Digital signage for trade shows makes events memorable and sets exhibition stands apart.
