Live demo stations with QR code interactions
Why It Works
Hotel managers attend conferences to discover new operational solutions. Live demos show immediate value and ROI, while face-to-face interaction builds trust for adoption of new technology.
Prerequisites
How to Execute
Research key hospitality conferences and events
Create interactive demo showing guest experience
Prepare ROI calculations specific to different hotel sizes
Collect contact information for follow-up
Schedule on-site meetings with qualified prospects
When It Fails
When product isn't mature enough for live demo, when booth staff lacks hospitality industry knowledge, or when targeting wrong conference audience
Real Example
“Hotel tech startup books booth at National Hotel Association conference, sets up tablet with QR code demo showing guest digital guide experience, collects 200+ qualified leads and converts 15% to trials within 30 days.”
