When it comes to large-scale events, whether they’re conventions, trade shows, sports events, or festivals, maximizing revenue is always a top priority. With thousands of attendees to manage, a seamless experience is critical for customer satisfaction and for boosting profits. This is where Navigo® Digital Signage, TransitAccess™, and Digital Wayfinding come in to help streamline operations, enhance engagement, and ultimately grow revenue.
Increase Sponsorship Opportunities
One of the most effective ways to grow revenue is by leveraging digital signage as a platform for dynamic advertising. With Navigo® Digital Signage, event organizers can sell advertising space on strategically placed screens throughout the venue. These screens can display advertisements from sponsors, exhibitors, or even local businesses looking to target attendees.
How it works:
-
Advertise in Real Time: Display ads on large digital screens, both indoors and outdoors, to capture the attention of attendees in high-traffic areas.
-
Customizable Content: Sponsors can showcase their brands with high-quality, eye-catching content that can change depending on the time of day or the specific event happening.
-
Increase Engagement: Interactive content or video ads can engage attendees, increasing sponsor visibility and improving their overall event ROI, making them more likely to invest in future events.
Why it works:
-
You can sell more advertising slots in high-traffic areas.
-
Sponsors will appreciate the modern, engaging format of digital signage and its ability to attract attendees’ attention in ways traditional signage cannot.
Big events can often overwhelm attendees with the sheer scale of the venue and the number of things to see and do. Digital Wayfinding is a game-changer that can simplify navigation and reduce confusion. By integrating interactive wayfinding kiosks or screens into your event, you empower attendees to find their way without relying on crowded information booths.
How it works:
-
Interactive Maps: Display detailed, easy-to-use maps on digital screens to help attendees navigate complex event spaces.
-
Real-Time Updates: Provide live updates on event schedules, room locations, and exhibitor spots, so attendees always have the most current information.
-
Customizable Routes: Help attendees find their most efficient path to key event areas, whether it’s the nearest restroom, food stall, or a featured exhibitor.
Why it works:
-
Attendees spend less time wandering and more time engaged in event activities, increasing the likelihood of spending at booths, concessions, or experiences.
-
When people are confident and not frustrated by navigation challenges, they are more likely to enjoy their time at the event, leading to repeat attendance and positive word-of-mouth promotion.
Streamline Transit and Parking with TransitAccess™
Managing transit and parking for large events can be a logistical nightmare. But TransitAccess™, an integrated digital signage solution, simplifies these areas by providing real-time information on parking availability, shuttle bus schedules, and public transit options.
How it works:
-
Real-Time Parking Updates: Display real-time parking availability, directing attendees to open lots or available spaces to reduce congestion and frustration.
-
Shuttle & Public Transit Info: Show up-to-date shuttle bus schedules and public transit options to help attendees plan their trips and avoid delays.
-
Guided Navigation to Parking: Use directional digital signage to guide attendees to the closest parking lots, minimizing parking time and increasing the likelihood they’ll spend more time at the event.
Why it works:
-
Easier access to parking and transportation options leads to a smoother event experience and less time spent in queues.
-
Attendees will appreciate the convenience, and fewer late arrivals mean the event can run more efficiently, maximizing both ticket sales and vendor transactions.
Boost Concessions and Merchandise Sales
While enhancing the attendee experience, Navigo® Digital Signage can also drive sales. Digital signage can be used indoors and outdoors to showcase exclusive offers, promotions, or special event-only merchandise, helping increase revenue from food, drinks, and merchandise.
How it works:
-
Dynamic Menus: Display dynamic, visually appealing menus at food and beverage stands, with real-time updates on prices, specials, and promotions.
-
Special Offers & Promotions: Promote time-sensitive deals to encourage attendees to purchase now, increasing impulse buys.
-
Exhibitor and Merchandise Promotion: Use digital signage to spotlight event merchandise, showcasing product highlights and limited-edition items.
Why it works:
-
Dynamic content keeps the event fresh, which is key to attracting attendees to purchase.
-
With targeted messaging and strategically placed digital screens, you can drive foot traffic to specific food vendors, merchandise stalls, or booths.
Drive Engagement with Interactive Features
Interactive digital signage with Navigo® can take attendee engagement to the next level. Features like social media walls, interactive polls, event quizzes, and live streams can all be showcased on digital signage throughout the venue.
How it works:
-
Engagement Through Interaction: Allow attendees to interact with digital signage to participate in polls, games, or contests. Encourage social media interaction by featuring attendee posts on large screens.
-
Live Content Updates: Display live social media feeds, event highlights, or real-time event data to keep attendees engaged and excited.
-
Exclusive Access & Promotions: Offer exclusive deals or content to attendees who interact with digital signage or visit a specific booth.
Why it works:
-
Increased engagement drives greater participation and interest in various event aspects, keeping attendees on-site longer and more likely to purchase tickets, food, or merchandise.
-
The social aspect also fosters a community feeling, creating buzz around your event and its sponsors.
Real-Time Data for Event Management
With Navigo® and TransitAccess™, you can also collect and analyze real-time data to make informed decisions during the event. For example, you can monitor crowd flow, assess which areas are getting the most traffic, and adjust your staffing or operations to meet demand.

Monitor Traffic Patterns: Use real-time data to understand where people are congregating or lingering, and adjust your event layout or staffing accordingly.
-
Track Purchases and Engagement: Analyze which promotions, vendors, or booths are attracting the most attention to refine future marketing strategies and maximize revenue.
Why it works:
-
Making data-driven decisions ensures that resources are allocated efficiently and effectively, maximizing your event’s profitability.
