Social Distancing at the Fair
(State fair or County Fair)
April 23, 2020
As we are entering the season of County Fairs -- and soon State Fairs to follow -- the concept of social distancing remains forefront in the minds of fair-goers all across the country.
​
County fairs and state fairs are -- in many ways -- similar to Consumer Shows. They have commercial exhibitors, and direct consumer interactions.
But, the fairs go way beyond that. Most of them also have the annual 4-H and FFA contest terminal events for the county or state. There is often a midway, and the fairgrounds themselves often have attractions that are unique to the event.
​
Complete social distancing is certainly not possible. But, tools like tXpo do bring some options to the table for the commercial exhibitors portion of the event.
​
With tXpo.us, your consumer attendees are able to simply send a short text code to a number posted in the booth. In the process, they make a firm digital contact connection with the exhibitor, and can then also retrieve the exhibitor literature digitally -- all without having to touch anything -- or carry the literature around for that matter. The attendee and exhibitor can then dialog with each other at their own convenience -- either onsite or a later time.
​
So, tXpo is an excellent low-cost lightweight way to make firm contact connections, and close more deals at/from your fair.
​
tXpo was not originally designed for social distancing. It was originally designed as a exhibition tool to;
​
-
Green the event thru digital literature distribution
-
Create consumer-initiated inquiries for exhibitors
-
Bring new revenue to the show producer
-
Be lightweight and stand-alone in it's implementation
​
These features remain and bring value, even if your primary concern is social distancing.
​
So, as you are planning your fair -- be it county or state -- you might consider the tXpo system. It's light, inexpensive, and stand-alone. And, it's BRAND NEW!! Very tech trendy!!
​
It uses the tools and skills that your attendees already have and know;
-
no training
-
no special app
-
no passwords or logins
-
no reliance on onsite infrastructure
-
no relationship to registration or badging (as most fairs don't have this anyway).
