Plan Your Way to Digital Summit Success with this Promotional Checklist

A new format calls for an updated approach

Participating in the WCX™ Digital Summit expands your reach and builds your brand beyond the boundaries of the traditional show floor. That means the potential for more qualified leads and higher sales—and the need to modify your approach. Keep these best practices designed for the digital experience in mind as you prepare your strategy around the event.

Top Tips for Maximizing Your Impact as a Digital Exhibitor

Promote your presence via your company’s digital marketing channels, including both email and social media such as LinkedIn and Facebook. Don’t forget to share your special discount code for registration. This will help encourage customers and prospects to register for the event, allow them to share the information with their own networks, and provide an opportunity to arrange dedicated time to engage with your team.

Consider providing attendees access to your upper management, who normally wouldn’t attend a live trade show due to the time investment. Schedule a moderated chat session in the online theater or networking lounge to give many people access at once.

Make sure your digital booth is manned at all times during the event for a truly “live” experience.

Use various forms of marketing collateral, such as product images and videos, and downloadable content in your offerings to keep visitors informed and engaged—and allow them to easily consider your company post-event.

Remember to follow-up after the event while your leads are hot. Many executives say they expect an immediate follow-up after the show so they can schedule a call to continue the conversation.

Share these messages across your social media channels to build excitement for the new products and services you’ll be showing at WCX and schedule 1:1 meetings.
