How to encourage exhibitor use of Visit Connect

To make introducing Visit Connect to your exhibitors as simple as possible and to excite, enthuse and encourage uptake, we have compiled example marketing collateral.

We encourage you to use and adapt these tools as best suits your event brand. Utilising these templates will help facilitate more effective conversations with your exhibitors but also with sales team training days, exhibitor training days, and any bespoke material you may wish to create. 

If you require further material or support in promoting Visit Connect to your exhibitors, please do contact your Client Manager to discuss how we can help. 

Website content

These are some examples you can showcase on your website regarding Visit Connect.

Visit Connect gives exhibitors total control over the sales lead management process. Exhibitors can verify, rate, prioritise, monitor and respond to leads immediately. In short, Visit Connect puts the success of participation in the palm of an exhibitor’s hand.

Data in their hands

Using Visit Connect exhibitors can scan a visitor badge, retrieve contact data, add their own notes, answer pre-set questions, set follow up instructions, add voice memos and photos, and even immediately contact the visitor either direct from their device, or by exporting their leads. Never before has so much detail been available as exhibitors talk to prospects on the show floor.

More than just lead capture

The Visit Connect portal offers a complete overview of all the devices activated for an event. Whether an exhibitor wants an overview of how the sales team are performing against target, to be able to access and respond to leads remotely or to immediately fulfil orders, the Visit Connect portal gives all the detail that is being captured at the event, as it is being captured, so exhibitors can decide how, and when, they follow up on prospect data.

It doesn’t end on the show floor

Visit Connect gives exhibitors total control of their leads before, during and after the event. They can detail lead qualifying questions and answers and use the portal to follow up on their leads. All data collected is accessible in real-time (as long as you have an internet connection) and exhibitors are able to download their leads via a spreadsheet.

Exhibitor manual

An exhibitors’ initial introduction to Visit Connect may initially be via your exhibitor manual or portal. We have outlined a few examples of the type of information you could include for your exhibitors. Please feel free to use, or adjust as required.

Exhibitor email campaign

Recent changes to data privacy law mean that, while we can continue to contact your exhibitors as processors, we can only do so on your behalf. Often an email campaign from you, as the organiser of the event, holds more gravitas and encourages greater uptake and then you are in greater control of communications to your customers. To that end we have outlined
a number of different email templates, that you can utilise within your campaigns. 

We have found that emails at 3 weeks, 1 week/a few days create the best results.
