Tips To Get The Best ROI
There are many things you can do to increase your exposure and collect consumer data during the Online & In-Person portion of the expo.
Create A Giveaway
- Brands collect thousands of emails when they offer a giveaway
- Giveaway Example
- The best results are giveaways that have more than one winner, are valued at $75 or more or offer product and merchandise
- Depending on your sponsorship level you could have more that one giveaway
- Basic booths do not receive a pop-up reminder with the giveaway
Donate A Prize
- If you are not participating in the Online event, you can still sign up to donate a prize. Online attendees earn points by taking pop-up quizzes & surveys. By donating prizes your brand will receive additional exposure on our Earn Points & Win Prizes Online Expo Page!
- Prizes are announced the Friday after the show and we will connect you and the prize winner via email. While you are responsible for emailing or mailing your prize to the winner; you also might have just gained a new and lifelong follower and customer!
Here are just a few examples of donated prizes:
- THREE $100 gift cards to Eban's Bakehouse!
- Beam Minerals Advanced Support Set valued at $80
- Flower of Life CBD's NEW GF bundle valued at $130
- A Six-Pack of Nudo Pizza Dough & a pizza screen from Etalia Foods valued at $110
- Surprise box of goodies valued at $75 from Kalifornia Keto
- A case of Lorriane's GF Flour & Mixes - valued at $60
GREAT Promotion & Discount
If you are doing both Online & In-Person, consider the following:
- Offer Promotions & Discounts that are DIFFERENT for the Online & In-Person attendees, but of equal value. Make them want to shop your products in both places.
- Offer a coupon or code to those attendees In-Person to drive traffic to the Online portion after the event.
- The brands that get the highest ROI at the Online Expos offer a GREAT discount.
- We recommend 20% off or more or BOGO. Free Shipping is also a plus!
