 
Offer your booth visitors a seat and a cool drink with the simple, self-contained American Brandstand. The roughly 9.5-by-6.5-foot mobile display features six attached stools, a bar setup, a large HDTV screen on top of the aluminum canopy, two retractable flat-screen monitors under the canopy, and a power unit that uses high-capacity batteries. The six touchscreens allow the capture of attendee information and provide space for promotional information. Options available include a gas generator, lights, and a cooler. The U-shaped bar top allows staffers to interact with attendees while serving them a beverage or snack. Plus, the self-contained design makes setup a snap, and because it has its own wheels, it turns into a trailer, making transportation a breeze. The electric-powered canopy can be lowered to form a top over the entire display, which means minimal disassembly. The aluminum display can be customized with paint, fabric, and accessories.

Exhibitors who use a CompuLead recording system at a trade show can continue to interact with attendees by using the BuyerConnect service. The service allows exhibitors to view and print the leads, follow up with a broadcast e-mail, and print mailing labels from the list of leads.

Exhibitors have discovered that today’s smaller, gadget-loaded cell phones make great marketing tools. Hypertag Ltd., a Bluetooth proximity-marketing service, can broadcast messages, screen savers, wallpaper, and ring tones directly to attendees’ phones for free. Hypertag uses fixed and wearable devices to transmit the messages. The fixed device can be set up in a kiosk in the booth, while the wearable bug allows staffers to interact with attendees. Staffers must get permission to send the information, providing a way to initiate a dialogue. Plus, visitors walk away with your message on their phones.
