What Are Good Trade Show Giveaways For A Mapping Service?

Publicity, Services,

My firm, a small but proven aerial photography & mapping company, exhibits at trade shows regularly to market to and capture leads in government & professional fields. My company flies cameras to capture the ground images, processes this data, and uses scientific methods to create accurate maps. I’ve been trying to think of creative – but industry related trade show “freebies,” prizes, and/or booth games that would apply to our technical/scientific industry. I want to do this while keeping up a professional image and having a little fun. Remember, I need industry related ideas (keywords: aviation, mapping, tech, etc.).

As for a premium prize: An aerial photo of their residence (or other building) (within a certain radius from your business).

Giveaways: Cool origami (animals, insects, etc.) from folded maps.

As for games:

  • An airplane simulator (running on a PC, etc.)
  • A dart throw at a map (with certain locations targeted)
  • A matchup game (show aerial photos and 1 photo from ground level – match the aerial photo to the ground photo)

What Are Good Trade Show Games For Salary Loan Business?

Publicity,

I have a trade show booth and I need creative games to attract clients to sign up. Our product is corporate salary loans. We are promoting fast processing of salary loans in 3 days. Do you know any games that can be related to our “fast, easy, speed” loan application and processing theme? I’m tired of spin a wheel, pick a prize, common games. I really need to come up with new ideas and games.

###

Because of the 3 days/3 attributes:

– 3 Card Monte

– 3 Cups & Pea/ball

– 3 balls into a hoop (basketball/nerf ball toss)

Because of fast/easy/speed:

– a dollar catch

– reaction timer (have them press a button after a light goes on)

– categories (give contestants 15 seconds to come up with as many different examples of a category — car brands, fruits, state capitals, etc.)

How Can I Start An Astronomy Club For Kids?

Clubs + Associations, , ,

I want to start an astronomy club for kids. I want to take donations of unused video games to fund it. The premise would be underprivileged kids wouldn’t have to pay but, donate any type or amount of old games to be auctioned. I would also need to except donations from outside sources. I had an idea of using (Video Games for Stars) to buy telescopes, books, other learning materials and fund trips. My question is, Do you think this can work?

###

Realize that you want astronomy-related stuff, not video games. The video game idea is good, but will require you to have an entire other business to fund your primary club.

Instead, why not get donations of unneeded astronomy gear? Approach local colleges, private schools, companies, etc. to ask for what you need.

Before approaching them, make sure that you’ve clearly created a plan for the club, have a lot of enthusiastic interest, and ideally some stories to tell about the first time a kid looked through a telescope and saw the moon, and how that experience changed their life. This background information would be used to create your strategic marketing plan. The plan would naturally lead to marketing materials (both to attract new club members but also for soliciting donors).
