Exhibitor Update  |  October 3, 2018

Everything you need to know to get ready for the show!

The Customer Invite Program (CIP) is an effective and convenient resource that allows exhibitors to offer customers and prospects complimentary registration, track who registers using your comp code and drive traffic to your booth.

Our official vendor, VIP Guest Invites, provides easy-to-use tools to share your unique comp code. Each exhibitor has been issued a unique VIP Guest Invites Dashboard link which can be accessed directly through your Exhibitor Portal using the Customer Invite Program tile.

Here are FOUR easy ways to share your Comp Code through the Customer Invite Program:

1. Banner Graphics offering one click registration for your email signatures and website.
2. Email Invite using an HTML format which you can broadcast or have VIP Guest Invites sent on your behalf.
3. Print-Ready PDF Invites to share in person.
4. Social Media Tools for sharing your code on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and more. 

The personalized comp code for your company is listed at the top of this Exhibitor Update.

Add the Customer Invite Program to your marketing plan to make the most of your trade show investment!
