ExpoMatch Drives Product Sales to Increase ROI<\/h4>\n

All stakeholders seek improved Return on Investment (ROI) from a trade show. Exhibition activity revolves around products. Visitors come to buy products. Exhibitors come to promote branding and image, and ultimately, to sell products. Organisers like to see products changing hands, because it means their show is successful, and profitable. It follows that Products drive the interactions between Organisers, Exhibitors and Visitors. The principle behind ExpoMatch is to sell more products, thus increasing ROI for all stakeholders.

New Income Streams Improve ROI<\/h4>\n

ExpoMatch gives the Organiser new sources of income, including the sale of business\u00a0leads\u00a0to Exhibitors and Visitors. It\u00a0generates leads\u00a0based on mutual and complementary business interests. ExpoMatch generates matches between Visitor and Exhibitor, Visitor-Visitor and Exhibitor-Exhibitor. Organiser ROI increases from the sale of these leads. The extra business generated increases Visitor and Exhibitor Return on Investment. Lead generation can begin before the show, as soon as the stakeholder has registered. It continues throughout the show and after the show.<\/p>\n

Exhibitors and Visitors no longer have to spend time sorting through catalogues, floorplans and business cards, because high-quality leads come directly to their smartphone. Exhibitors and Visitors simply decide whether to accept\u00a0the lead or not. If a meeting between matched parties is impossible on the day of the show, the lead can be followed up later. It follows that a potential client or customer need never be missed – even if they were unable to visit your booth at the show.<\/p>\n

Stakeholders use their time at the show more efficiently, because ExpoMatch generates good quality business leads automatically. The app\u00a0guides the recipient to the appropriate stand. ExpoMatch generates\u00a0leads based on indicated\u00a0product interest. Therefore they have a higher success rate than unfocused leads, which may be based on unreliable questionnaires and spurious registration information. Again, ROI increases for all.

Higher Engagement Increases\u00a0Organiser ROI<\/h4>\n

Exhibitor and Visitor satisfaction and engagement increase, because they spend their time at the show more effectively, and lead capture increases, resulting in improved Return on Investment. In turn, this boosts take-up for the next show, improving Organiser ROI. (Re-registration rose from 50% before the ExpoMatch pilot to 90% afterwards). Knowledge of the increased take-up by Visitors and Exhibitors simplifies the planning of transport, catering, accommodation and other ancillary services for the show.<\/p>\n

Early registration, with accurate catalogue information, promotes business. There is no point entering false information when registering – it would simply result in fewer, lower quality leads. Exhibitors and Visitors should not fear an avalanche of spam, because ExpoMatch generates \u00a0high quality leads, and transmits them automatically and securely in real time. The double opt-in system respects Privacy: the individual consents to information-sharing before any details are securely passed on. The recipient selects the leads they\u00a0wish to accept.<\/p>\n

ExpoMatch provides realtime event traffic data for the Organiser, by booth and by product. Consequently,\u00a0the Organiser can\u00a0arrange more efficient traffic flow through the exhibition. The more efficient traffic flow has \u00a0potential\u00a0benefits for business\u00a0and\u00a0exhibition security.

The Most Accurate ROI Calculation Yet<\/h4>\n

ExpoMatch provides detailed profiles for the Organiser. The data helps planning for the next show, including marketing, booth location,\u00a0and the identification of anchor exhibitors. Furthermore, ExpoMatch produces realtime charts of booth activity, by location and by product. Because of their fine detail, these\u00a0reports enable the most accurate calculation of event ROI yet available.<\/p>\n

ExpoMatch relies on existing technology: the app on the user’s personal smartphone, and WiFi. So there is no need for extra hardware installation or gadgets, and no need to generate\u00a0a barcode for each visitor. The booth number entry or QR code scan is transmitted\u00a0quickly using narrow band WiFi. ExpoMatch data is sent and received via narrow band WiFi, a strong signal which cannot be used for other purposes, such as internet access.<\/p>\n

ExpoMatch can also\u00a0function as a Social Business Community Platform, linking users through mutual interest, further enhancing the ROI of all stakeholders.
