Stand Activity Ideas

Exhibition stands, on average, gain 33% more visitors when they’ve got an attraction or activity taking place.

At an exhibition, everyone is vying for the same attention and whilst you know your product is one of the best, you need to attract the audience to your stand. And what better way than to get them interacting and getting active?! There are two ways in which you might be able to peak someone’s interest, and for maximum effect, you’d have both;

  1. Having a stand attraction, or activity that they can participate in. It could be a video game, a mobile massage, a “guess the amount”, food tasting… the list is pretty extensive.
  2. Freebies! Who doesn’t love a gadget or a cuddly toy?! Generally speaking anything tech-y, super handy, or kid-friendly will go down really well. And whilst they’re there, you can have a quick chat about who you are and what you do.
