Social Distancing for Fairs & Consumer Shows
April 23, 2020
​
As we discussed in Expositions in the Social Distancing Age, we are today faced with a criteria that is very antithetical to the very idea of the Consumer Show. Consumer shows are public gatherings on a grand scale, and close quarters are simple a reality of the situation.
​
But, there are some things that can be done to create "options" for attendees and exhibitors alike.
The tXpo system brings an SMS solution to the show-floor that allows attendees to collect literature digitally, and simultaneously provides a contact connection to the exhibitor. This way, the exhibitor follows-up later with the attendee -- and all social distances are kept.
​
This is achieved using tools that the attendee is already familiar with, already carries with them, and requires no special effort to engage (no apps, no passwords).
​
Social Distancing at the Consumer Show -- and for that matter, in all aspects of life -- will likely linger as a practice in the minds of Americans for many months to come. As show producers, we need to be aware and conscious of this element -- and provide appropriate social distancing options at our shows in order to accommodate.
​
In the case of tXpo -- the purpose of the service long preceded the social distancing craze. It brings;
​
-
live consumer-driven exhibitor inquiries
-
new show revenue
-
a greener expo thru the facilitation of digital documents
-
a very light deployment footprint and cost.
​
If you are running or hosting a consumer show or Farm Show -- you might consider tXpo as an excellent no/low cost way to bring these features to your show very quickly.
