Stand Marketing Ideas for the Basingstoke Revive+Thrive Show
Exhibiting at a Health, Fitness & Wellbeing Show is a great opportunity to connect with potential clients, showcase your expertise, and build brand awareness. But with so many businesses in the same space, how do you make YOUR stand the one people remember?

Here are some stand marketing ideas to help you stand out and attract visitors:

1️⃣ Make Your Stand an Experience
- Set up a live demo – showcase a quick exercise, yoga position, or wellness technique.
- Offer free mini health assessments – mini-massages, posture checks, or wellness consultations.
- Create a hands-on area – let visitors try out equipment, sample healthy snacks, or test wellness products.

2️⃣ Attract Attention with a Giveaway
- Run a prize draw – collect contact details for a chance to win a fitness tracker, massage voucher, or wellness hamper.
- Give away branded freebies – think reusable water bottles, resistance bands, healthy snack packs, or stress balls.
- Offer an exclusive show-only discount – a special deal visitors can only get at the event.

3️⃣ Get Social & Interactive
- Set up a photo/selfie station with a fun backdrop or props – encourage visitors to tag your business on social media.
- Host a social media contest – ask people to share a post or story about your stand for a chance to win.
- Use a QR code for easy sign-ups – direct people to your website, newsletter, or special offer.

4️⃣ Keep It Engaging & Informative
- Have a short & snappy pitch – be ready to explain what you do in 30 seconds.
- Create simple, eye-catching visuals – keep signage bold and easy to read.
- Share valuable takeaways – a free eBook, wellness tips guide, or workout plan.

5️⃣ Make It a Relaxing Space
- Provide a comfy seat – give visitors a place to rest and chat with you.
- Offer healthy refreshments – herbal teas, fruit-infused water, or protein snacks.
- Set the mood with calming scents & music – essential oils or soft background music can make your stand feel like a wellness retreat.

Final Tip: Follow Up!
- After the event, email or message everyone you connected with. A simple “Great to meet you at the show! Here’s a special offer just for you” can turn a visitor into a loyal client.
