Online booth reservation and sponsorship sales can significantly help save time on your event preparation. However, even if you're not ready yet to share your floor plan, you can start taking initial inquiries or applications from potential exhibitors.
Inquiring without booth selection
You can give your exhibitors options to inquire about booths of different types, sizes, and prices.
Here's how it works:
Use the Designer
to add booths. Since you're not sharing the layout yet, their location doesn't matter. The system will number them automatically in consecutive order.
Optionally, assign booth types and prices or create sponsorships and booth extras
Add a message to the reservation page to explain the process to your vendors
Now your reservation page is ready, and you can show it to your exhibitors. To do that:
Find your unique event ID on the Dashboard
:
Insert your event ID as the last digits within this link:
Done! Now you can showcase this link on your website, see all the inquiries on your backend, categorize them with tags,and send them emails.
Inquiring with booth selection
You can allow your exhibitors to choose their booth location, but still communicate to them that their application has not been approved yet. There are several ways to do this:
Include text on the floor plan itself that the layout is preliminary
Include a message on all the available booths and/or reservation page explaining the process
Collecting a deposit
You can collect a down payment or a full amount for the booth or sponsorships from prospective exhibitors. In this case, the link should lead to the Buy page instead:
The last digits also represent your event ID.
