Promoting your Event Directory to visitors

Created by David Lees, Modified on Thu, 22 Feb at 3:34 PM by David Lees

Now that you and your exhibitors have created your online event directory, it is time to ensure it gets used by visitors to your event. 


An event directory that is not promoted is like a printed directory that is not distributed at an event - few people will use it.



Visitors

Announce the directory with an email

Sent your visitors a mail with a link to the directory once it is ready.  


Browse our Digital Catalogue
 
We are reducing the amount of printed tasting booklets being offered at our event this year, by offering something which we think is even better – tasting lists that you can create before the event, your own personal catalogue.

    SEARCH AND FIND
The Exhibitors you wish to meet and the wines you wish to taste.
    BOOKMARKS
Click the bookmark icon to add exhibitors and products to your list.
    TASTING NOTES
Add tasting notes on your smartphone at the event and export them when you get home.
    PDF & EXCEL EXPORT

Post Event Email
After the event share your statistics from your online directory with your exhibitors in order see how many people searched for their profile and products. Ask your Bottlebooks success team for stats. 


At the Event

QR code at door

Make sure there are multiple QR codes at the door and around every event. Imagine having a print catalogue stacked on a table at the door.  The QR code should be as visible and prominent. 




QR at the stand


Create QR codes for each exhibitor to put on their stand. It allows visitors easily navigate through the exhibitor profile and their product information.




Use the online catalogue

Lastly, the catalogue is also a tool for you to use.  To find stand numbers, do complex searches on wines and more.
