But how do you get them to stop? Make your exhibition booth unforgettable with some un-boring additions!<\/p>\n<p>Food and Drink<\/p>\n<p>Every human loves food. It\u2019s just a fact. If there\u2019s food at your booth, you\u2019re practically guaranteed to have a swarm of people. So if you choose to have food or drinks, be prepared with large quantities! You can usually get an estimate of attendees from the convention\u2019s website or the sales person who sold you the booth.<\/p>\n<p>Also, check the restrictions of the exhibition, because sometimes food isn\u2019t allowed unless it\u2019s pre-packaged. If that\u2019s the case, try attaching your business card to the packages so your prospects will know where it came from later.<\/p>\n<p>If food is allowed, try something a little more fun than a tray of quiches. Bringing in Concessions like marshmallow machines or gourmet candy floss can add an adult twist on classic childhood favourites. If the exhibition allows alcohol, mini cocktails are another winner. Hire a Bartender to handle the mixing while you focus on networking!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmasque.co.uk\/product.php?catid=36\">Celebrity Impersonators<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Want to create a buzz around your booth? Bring in a celebrity, of course. It starts with one person whispering to their friend, \u201cIs that Lady Gaga?\u201d and before you know it, everyone is checking out your booth. Celebrity Impersonators can pose with guests for pictures, sign autographs, and add an air of glamour to what can be a dry event. Whether you choose a blast from the past like Marilyn Monroe or Elvis or keep it newer with James Bond or Austin Powers, you won\u2019t regret it. And neither will the attendees!<\/p>\n<p>Live <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmasque.co.uk\">Party Entertainment<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another great way to draw attention is a live performance at your booth. Close-Up Magicians can snag passers-by and get them involved with card tricks or other quick sleights of hand. If sound restrictions allow, you could even have a musical performance like a One-Man Band or String quartet. Send a Stilt Walker into the crowd with your company to recruit attendees for your booth, or have a Juggler or Belly Dancer for a more compact performance.<\/p>\n<p>Unique Merchandise<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, give your attendees something cool to remember you by. Most importantly, give them something they\u2019ll actually keep and use. High-quality sunglasses are usually a hit, or well-made soft t-shirts are another. Go big or go home! Pens are a cheaper option, and everyone loves them. Portable phone chargers are a trending item right now, too. Whatever you choose, just ask yourself what you would like to leave with. Check out sites to order items in bulk with your logo on them. You don\u2019t want people to forget who gave them such awesome stuff!<\/p>\n<p>With a little creativity, you can have the best booth at the exhibition. Give people an experience that they won\u2019t soon forget, and drum up some great relationships and potential new business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve got your booth and your display, and you want everyone to stop and see what you have to offer.
