4. Be active! Use the booth chat and your event’s checklist ✅
Engagement is key for attendees to notice you as both great individuals and the company’s representatives. For that, make sure to be active in all open chats and drive people to your booths.
Check your booth regularly for new messages. The attendees must get answers to their questions about your services.
Always customize your meeting requests. Think about what’s relevant for the attendee you want to meet with? Why would they want to meet you?
For example:
👉 You can use the Brella chat on your PC or mobile as well
