Promote and Encourage Engagement
The main goal of any experiential marketing campaign is to convince the audience to interact with your brand and what it offers. How do you do this? By promising the audience a memorable, worthwhile experience – and delivering on that promise. Why not start by promoting customer interaction through enticing, colourful displays that demand attention. Touch screen technology and social media booths are all the rage now, so be sure to use these trends to your advantage… just don’t forget to put your own spin on it. Nobody likes a copycat!

Let Them Come to You
The goal is to be approachable. You want to entice your audience so that they feel invited to participate, as opposed to feeling forced into it. You can encourage voluntary consumer participation by providing them with an experience they can’t say no to. Think freebies, interactive games and perhaps a photo booth or two. It is also a good idea to enlist the services of a friendly, confident brand ambassador. He or she will make sure that the consumers feel relaxed and taken care of.

Embrace the Power of Outdoor Advertising
If you’re participating in a tradeshow or an industry-related event, outdoor advertising could be your ticket to gaining that all-important ‘edge’. It makes sure that the people attending the event are aware of your brand and its presence before they even enter the premises. If done right, it can lead to them looking out for you once they get inside and getting excited about what you will have waiting for them once they find you.
