A pre-show campaign built to increase booth traffic, improve attendee engagement, and help set appointments before the event.
Situation:

Campaign Objectives:
- Engage attendees prior to the show
- Introduce Brady Ware offerings and services

Design, build, and implement a cross-channel program utilizing Think Patented’s Leads360 platform. Following are campaign details from Brady Ware’s trade show and event marketing program.
Campaign Details:

- pURLs directed attendees to a microsite with information about Brady Ware’s presence at the convention
- Microsite used to automate appointment scheduling and collect lead information
- Thank You Page included a certificate for a prize
- Thank You Email sent after response with a link to the prize certificate
