NECANN ONline: Return On Investment

September 14-16, 2020 – A Virtual Cannabis Convention Event

Exhibitor ROI

I’m exhibiting at NECANN ONline: How do I get Strong ROI out of the event?

  • Go Big with the Virtual Grab Bag: As part of your exhibitor ticket you received a link to the event’s Virtual Grab Bag that’ll be distributed to everyone at the event. To separate your business from others we recommend GOING BIG: Offer a substantial incentive for an attendee to visit your booth within the virtual exhibit hall. The Virtual Grab Bag lets you customize vouchers, coupons and other redeemables to offer to all attendees. Give an attendee a BIG reason to visit your booth.
  • Strong Virtual Booth Customization and “Sticky” Content: Your virtual booth is an attendee’s gateway to your business. Give attendees a reason to stick around. Post videos, pics, demonstrations and links to keep people “in” your booth. Advertise live-streamed demonstrations to attract groups of attendees. Promote specials through your company’s website/social media to incentivize booth visitations. Think of your virtual booth space as more than simply an opportunity to provide information. Virtual conventions are an opportunity to enage creatively with potential customers, perhaps in ways unavailable at traditional conventions.
  • Have a Plan for Pre-event Promotion: Use your social media channels and industry networks to promote your company’s presence at the event and offer a special “NECANN ONline Virtual Convention Only” deal or similar promotion to give attendees a reason to visit your space. If the offer is substantial, perhaps you can create some pre-event buzz.
  • Engage Session Attendees: At virtual conventions, exhibitors can easily pop in and out of programming sessions and network with session attendees. Review the programming schedule and target sessions with attendees likely to seek out your product or service.

Spend some time in the Grab Bag and use special offers right away or save them for later. Plan your time in the exhibitor hall with a list of special-offer exhibitors
