I recently read an article from Skyline Trade Show Tips giving advice on how to have fun at a tradeshow.  We've all been there...the show lasts for several days and it feels like we've seen the same people and it's only day 2!

Try some of these fun activities...

1. Pick up giveaways from your fellow exhibitors and give them back, to different exhibitors.

2. Visit your competitor's booth and ask them what they don't do well. Watch them squirm.

3. Create a fun activity in your booth that helps get your message across to visitors.

4. Count how many booths you walk by before someone tries to engage you.

5. Walk the show with a colleague. Have a bet on who can count the most booth staffers sitting down or booth staffers on the phone. A third friend can count booth staffers eating or drinking. (This is like counting states on license plates when on a long drive.) Loser buys lunch.

This one is my favorite....

6. Smile at your booth visitors, even if they are not. Pretty soon, you'll both be smiling!

How do you get people to interact at your tradeshow booth?
