Maximize Trade Show Leads with Entertainment

For many businesses, gathering leads at trade shows are a very important component of their yearly marketing plan. In a major trade show every booth is vying for the attention of the attendees. How can businesses generate as many leads as possible?

How Can Entertainment Be Your Ticket to A More Successful Trade Show?

Create a Show to Generate Interest 

Recently a client had created a theme for their booth and was looking for a show to create interest and generate traffic. The theme was the “Old West”.

The mission was to:

1. Reinforce the Theme
2. Stop traffic allowing for the message to be introduced
3. Continually build the brand of the business
4. Generate viable leads for future marketing efforts

What Kind of Show? 

An old time saloon show concept was created for this client. The show consisted of five cast members. Three singer / Dancers and two character actors. It started with a musical number to generate interest and gather a crowd, then led into an comedy audience participation segment with “Rattlesnake Pete” and an audience volunteer. The show then ended with a huge musical finale number.

The show was designed to be “short and sweet”, and a tight 12 minutes. During the performance, the client’s brand was mentioned over a dozen times, but never seemed to be a “commercial.” to the audience. As the show ended and the applause erupted the cast gave a “pitch” to generate leads though the sign up drawing. 

This was the perfect time as the guests had enjoyed the performance, liked the performers and were ready to interact with them.

Other Concepts

There are many show concepts that can be created. At Shows In A Box We have utilized Chinese Acrobats, Magic Illusions, and Cirque acts successfully in the past. The formula is simple:

• Create “high Impact entertainment” to generate a crowd.
• Incorporate your message
• Collect leads
• And most Importantly……follow up on those leads.

How To Integrate Corporate Entertainment Into Your Event

 

Corporate entertainment pertains to privately held events that a business or a corporation has for their employees or clients. Sometimes this is done at events such as large conventions or trade shows. This also can be done for more intimate events such as an office party, holiday party for the staff, or a dinner gathering.

Many companies will involve corporate entertainment once in a while because it has been shown to have a good effect on productivity. When employees are given a chance to relax and enjoy themselves at a work related event, it makes them feel more positive about their job . These events are also a good way for people in the business to establish better relationships with each other and also to discuss work related matters in a more relaxed non business setting.

Some types of events are specifically held to develop new business plans . The meeting will have a more relaxed atmosphere than a normal meeting. This way, casual conversation can be used to expand the corporate network and newer ideas can be explored when people feel more comfortable expressing their opinions.

Events are sometimes held with the intention to establish more teamwork within the business. Being able to communicate openly allows employees to feel more comfortable with one another. This way, there is a potential for overall better productivity.

The time period for an event really does not have any constriction. For short events sometimes they are held during the break of a regular work day. For something that is a bigger event or for one that is longer, it might be held on a weekend or during the evening after work hours.

That was a little information on corporate entertainment. It is a positive gesture companies hold for their employees. It provides employees with a more relaxed day as opposed to their usual and busy work day, and this increases productivity in the long run.
