Step right up and generate tons of buzz at your next trade show with fun and memorable games! Jazz up a booth that may otherwise be repetitive by offering attendees the opportunity to break away from the hand-shaking and business card-swapping. With these game ideas, you’ll outshine competitors by drawing all the attention to your .
Why should you have fun trade show games at your booth?
The key to having an awesome trade show booth is capturing attendees’ attention. Games are a great way to encourage conversation between you and the customers. Providing a unique experience also helps attendees remember you later down the line when they are in need of your services.
These fun trade show games provide a memorable and enjoyable atmosphere, no matter what the circumstances. Even in the “new normal,” where trade show booths are set up to accommodate social distancing, event attendees can safely play these games at distance. While things may look a little different right now, you can still bring the fun and enjoyment of games to your booth.
Here are some reasons why having entertainment at your booth can help you close the deal:
- Increases engagement: Fun trade show games allow event attendees to engage with your brand in a unique way, making your booth -- and your brand -- highly desirable by patrons. Prospective customers will want to stay and play to break free from the hum-drum convention, giving you plenty of opportunity to pitch your product or service after attendees play.
- Brings more guests to your booth: As attendees walk around the convention center, they will no doubt be drawn to the excitement coming from your booth. With sound effects, lights, and prizes, your games will definitely draw a crowd. And bigger crowds mean more opportunities to sell!
- Stand out from competitors: With so many companies trying to entice the same people over as you are, it can be hard not to blend in. Fun trade show games may just be the sensational piece of the puzzle you’re missing to attract the most attention. Your booth will generate a different feel due to the playful environment- visitors will remember your brand even when the event comes to an end.
- Have your guests take home branded swag: Don’t just hand out giveaways -- make your guests play a game to bring something home! Winning a prize after a challenging game of Skee-Ball or the claw machine not only excites your potential new customer but leaves them walking away with something to remember your brand’s name by. Give away branded products such as T-shirts, magnets, water bottles, drawstring bags, and more. You could even rent customizable games that will show off your company’s logo, slogan, and name for even more brand awareness. Visitors will appreciate the extra merchandise and you’ll benefit from the extra brand exposure.
- More face-to-face conversations: At any trade show, your main goal is to gain booth traffic to raise awareness and make sales. A fun booth game will put event attendees in a great mood; after playing, you can start a conversation with them and use the game as an icebreaker. Having that face-to-face conversation shows prospective customers that there is a human behind the brand name. Connections are everything and you can do your best to leave a good impression.
