DCM Communications

Trade shows and conferences are wonderful things for both sales and marketing of your business (or client’s business.) However, securing the booth/table is only half the battle. Getting people to come OVER to you and then actually remember what you talked about is harder. This is also key to making sure you get some ROI out of the sponsorship.

So how do you get attendees to engage with your brand?

You get creative! Think of it the way my college counselor (and aunt) used to instruct me wen writing my college admission essays: Show. Don’t tell. At the time she meant this in regard to writing, but it is the crux of a good sponsor or brand activation too.

Translation: get them involved in your (brand) story.

The way to do this is with activations that make them a part of your brand, rather than a bystander listening to you tell the story of the brand.

Ok so how do you do this? I’ve got four creative ideas from you scouted from Smart Meetings, Creative Champagne Group, VIBE Agency, and Luster that will all help make your brand sticky in the minds of attendees.
