Your Challenge

Delegates are becoming more comfortable with technology in their every day lives.

Mobile phones are being increasingly used by businesses for timely and relevant communications with customers, but not using traditional voice. Many mobile phone users, use sms, mms, email, twitter, facebook, instant messaging, skype, bluetooth, cameras, video as well as voice.

So how can an event organiser capitalise the opportunity to interact with delegates on their mobile phones to enhance their experience?

Here are some opportunities that using delegate’s mobile phones could help you achieve:

getting instant session & event feedback
audience participation with real-time polling/voting
help delegates to remember specific exhibitors and speakers (to get their contact details electronically)
increase event registration, increase visitor numbers
help delegates to spread-the-word with their colleagues and friends
help exhibitors ‘be green’ and not hand out so many brochures/pamphlets but still have their message remembered
increase the number of qualified leads for exhibitors
offering exhibitors the opportunity to reach out to delegates (who want to hear from them) during the event

The Solution

With SpotEvents^TM, you can use your existing booth/exhibitor numbers/names (we call these, Spots) that are promoted in the show guide, in exhibitor advertisements, flyers, brochures and sponsor promotions. The SpotEvents^TM Suite contains two products SpotExpo^TM and SpotConf^TM tailored for exhibitions and conferences respectively.

Delegates, curious about an Exhibitor or Speaker, use their own mobile phone to request their Spot using SMS, Email, Twitter, Instant Messaging, Camera, Facebook or via our Mobile Web site. SMS's only costs a normal text message rate. The exhibitor is then bookmarked. Our patent pending auto-responder returns the exhibitor’s interactive digital response immediately to the visitors phone & email.

Delegates are comfortable using SpotEvents^TM because:
It is FREE for them to receive information
They can bookmark exhibitors, speakers, sessions and products that capture their attention so they can be reminded to return, or visit the exhibitor online after the show.
They can provide quick and immediate feedback and participate in sessions anonymously.

Using SpotEvents^TM, visitors can receive that show guide information immediately along with any marketing information via any mobile channel. The visitor is more likely to research those links later at their convenience than they would having been given a brochure...and they have registered their curiosity to learn more - a warm lead. Post show, the visitor can see a list of all the exhibitors (in their free online account) they have tagged for followup themselves or sharing with colleagues.

With the SpotEvents^TM multi-channel auto-responder, exhibitors can customise their own responses themselves online. Capitalise on the visitor’s temporary curiosity while he/she is interested in the exhibitor.
