Tim Davies explains how to use games at trade shows to draw people in and start conversations about your product. A game with a prize gets visitors to your booth and breaks the ice better than handing out cookies or other giveaways.
You can't always bring a baby or a box of cookies or something. Yeah, absolutely. So, I mean, those things work as well, right? But, but if you can sort of invite someone to play a game with you, you say, hey, do you want to play a game? We're, you know, giving away a prize of whatever that is. You know, it usually works best if it's something that you, that you offer because then if someone's interested in winning the prize, your service, your product, then there's probably a good chance that they're, you're getting an engaging conversation while you're playing a game and that's it. And inevitably it's a really good icebreaker because they come in and they play the game and they sort of ask you what do you do then? And we go to shows and people say there's games everywhere that we're showing off.
