Create a trade fair video - 5 professional tips for your trade fair appearance
Trade fair video - two words that can make the difference between the success or failure of your trade fair presentation. Because a strong trade fair video not only attracts attention, but also converts visitors into real leads. In this article, we show you how to make the most of a professional trade fair video.
Why a trade fair video is indispensable today
A good trade fair video acts like a magnet: It attracts trade fair visitors, conveys your message in a matter of seconds - and brings your brand to life visually. Especially in noisy exhibition halls, moving images are the most effective means of attracting attention and interaction.
- Stands out visually in the hustle and bustle of the trade fair
- Explains complex content quickly
- Supports personal conversations
- Strengthens brand perception
Tip: An image film or explanatory video can often be easily adapted into a trade fair video - with a shorter length and targeted focus.
Which trade fair video suits which objective?
The choice of the right trade fair video depends directly on your trade fair objective. A short animated video is more suitable than a detailed testimonial.
| Goal | Recommended trade fair video |
|---|---|
| Gain attention | Animated teaser, scribble video |
| Explain products | Explanatory film, 3D product video |
| Create trust | Customer testimonial, Behind-the-Scenes |
| Follow-up | Aftermovie, highlight clip |
You can find inspiration at Scribble Video or Mark Lotse, for example.
Using trade fair videos correctly at the stand
A good trade fair video unfolds its effect through targeted use at the trade fair stand:
- Large screen: Eye-catcher for passing visitors
- Touchscreen: Interactive explanation of products
- Tablet: support in a 1:1 conversation
- QR code: Video to take away for follow-up
Tips for a convincing trade fair video
1. keep it short
Ideal: 60 to 90 seconds. Short, to the point, memorable. Trade fair visitors don't take five minutes.
2. understandable without sound
Exhibition halls are loud. Your video should work with subtitles or purely visually.
3. use multiple times
Also use your trade fair video on the website, in social media or in recruiting. This saves budget and increases reach.
Avoid typical mistakes with trade fair videos
- Too long: overwhelms visitors
- No call-to-action: missed opportunity
- Unprofessional quality: damages the brand image
- Too much content: focus is lost
Use the trade fair video after the event
Use your trade fair video even after the event - e.g. for:
- Follow-up e-mails to trade fair contacts
- Postings on LinkedIn, XING & Co.
- Integration into your media library
- Employer branding in career networks
Conclusion: trade fair videos make an impression
A well-thought-out trade fair video is more than just a beautiful film - it is a strategic tool that generates attention, conveys your message and is remembered for a long time. Let's work together to develop the right format for your next trade fair appearance.
