What an interactive booth display does for you
A booth has one of you and a crowd walking past. The screen does the parts of the job that don't need you, so you can spend your time on the people who are ready to talk.
-
Pulls people in from the aisle
An attract loop runs on the screen while nobody is touching it. It's built to be read from across the aisle and to make somebody want to walk over.
-
Answers questions while you're busy
Visitors find your products, your work and the answers they came for on their own, while you talk to someone else.
-
Collects real leads
Visitors leave their details on the screen, so you leave the show with real leads instead of a bowl of business cards.
-
Sends them home with a QR code
One scan and what they saw is on their phone, long after the show floor has been packed up.
A touchscreen kiosk you can switch on the same day
It is used in public, which is what makes it different from a website. Somebody has to want to walk over to it, work it out while other people watch, finish before the line grows, and leave it ready for the next person. That is designed for your floor and your crowd, not adapted from a web page.
- Runs on a tablet you already own. A browser in full screen, and that is the whole setup. No app store, no software to install.
- Nothing for your IT people to approve. It touches none of your systems and needs no credentials, so there is no security review to wait behind.
- Changed while the show is on. A price, a product, a correction: send it over and it is updated from a desk while the screen stays on your floor.
- The interface, not the hardware. This is the screen people touch. You supply the tablet or touchscreen and anything it stands on.
Behind the screen: your leads, your numbers, your controls
The screen is what visitors see. A custom kiosk also does the work behind it, so you leave the show knowing who came by, what they cared about and who to call first.
-
Visitor information, the way your team wants it
The questions your sales team actually asks, in the order they ask them: what they're shopping for, when they're buying, who to follow up with. Every lead arrives sorted and ready to call.
-
Analytics from the show floor
How many people used the kiosk, what they tapped, which products got the most attention and when your booth was busiest, day by day. Plan the next show from what really happened at this one.
-
A dashboard to run it
Watch leads come in during the show, change a price or a product on the screen from your phone, and save everything as a spreadsheet. One place for every kiosk you run, at every show.
-
A badge scanner set up for your event
Your staff point a phone or tablet at an attendee's badge or business card, and the name, company and title fill in on their own. It's set up for that show's badges, branded to your booth, and it works when the hall Wi-Fi doesn't.
Tell me which of these your booth needs, and they're built into your kiosk and your quote.

Not included: the screen. You supply the tablet or touchscreen and anything it stands on. What you are buying is the interface that runs on it.
After launch: hosting and looking after it are $65 a month, billed once a year. A kiosk that collects leads has a database behind it, so somebody has to look after it.
Get a quoteNot sure which screen to get?
Choosing the display, mounting it and setting it up on site is separate from the kiosk. If you'd like help with it, we can talk it through: what fits your booth, your budget and the people who'll be tapping it. That conversation is free, with no obligation.
Talk about hardwareWant to try one first? These are free.
Each free tool does one job, runs right in your browser, and keeps working if the show Wi-Fi drops. The custom kiosk is the one built around your booth.
- Touchscreen video kioskAdd your videos and any tablet or touchscreen becomes a kiosk. Visitors tap a button to play one, and it goes back to the menu on its own.
- Looping player for booth TVsAdd your videos and photos and they play full screen, in order, all day. No menus, file names or play buttons pop up between them.
- Offline lead form for an iPadVisitors type their details, tap Send, and the form clears for the next person. It keeps the leads behind your staff PIN and saves them as a spreadsheet.

Questions
What does a trade show kiosk cost?
A trade show kiosk is $5,000. Hosting and looking after it are $65 a month, billed once a year, because a kiosk that collects leads has a database behind it. The screen itself is not included.
Do you supply the touchscreen?
No. You supply the tablet or touchscreen and anything it stands on. What you are buying is the interface that runs on it. If you're not sure what to get, a hardware conversation is free and comes with no obligation.
Will our IT people need to approve it?
It touches none of your systems and needs no credentials. It runs in full screen in a browser on the tablet, with no app store and no software to install.
Can it be changed during the show?
Yes. Send me a change while the show is still going on, and it's updated from my desk while the screen stays on your floor.
Can it scan attendee badges?
Yes, as part of a custom kiosk. Your staff point a phone or tablet at a badge or a business card, and the name, company and title fill in on their own. It's set up for that show's badges, and staff check the details before saving.
What will we be able to see after the show?
Your leads, with the answers to the questions your sales team cares about, plus how many people used the kiosk, what they tapped and when the booth was busiest. It's all on a dashboard where you can also change what the kiosk shows and save the leads as a spreadsheet.
Have you done trade show work before?
Yes. In-house at PJ Trailers, I helped design the touch interface for their sales-floor kiosks and made their trade show motion graphics. In-house at Harrison, Walker & Harper, I made trade show displays. I've also had my own booth, at the Conclave Youth Ministry Conference.
Is the screen at the top of this page a real kiosk?
It's a demonstration, built in code for this page, showing the path a visitor takes on a booth kiosk. The QR code on it is real and opens this page. Your kiosk is designed around your products, your brand and your crowd.
Got a show coming up?
Tell me about your booth and you'll get an honest price. Or call, and you'll get me.
