iPad Presentations for Trade Shows and Conferences – the best way to share your company’s story
There are many reasons why iPads make sense for businesses – the cost is less, the footprint is smaller, and it can work offline, even if you don’t have a data connection. The cost of one device is less than a laptop or fancy projection set up, its easy to travel with and has multiple uses, and great iPad software is available at a lessor cost than the comparable Mac versions. For those that attend conferences on a regular basis, you’ve probably seen many businesses with iPads or other tablets set up right at their booths. This is a great way to allow your consumers and other attendees find out who you are and what you’re about in a fun and interesting way.
Modern and Innovative Technology
Using an iPad shows your company is using modern tools. By designing and developing an iPad presentation, you allow visitors to your booth or table to directly interact with your products and services in a novel and fun way. If there is interest to learn more, they can speak to company representatives.
Reduce Paper and Printing Costs
Instead of bringing a multiple page printed brochure, you can bring a simpler printed piece matched with a well designed and interactive iPad presentation. If you are using a tool like FlowVella, you can link to the presentation in the printed material. You can continue to update that presentation as the URL doesn’t change. The presentation can then act as a lead generation if you link off to your website from it.
Works Offline
A lot of presentation apps for iPad, like FlowVella, work 100% without an Internet connection. Trade shows and conferences are notorious for having terrible mobile connectivity due to the location of the conference indoors or the sheer number of people vying for bandwidth. Some trade show floors come with huge costs for wifi or Internet, by using an iPad presentation app that works offline, you won’t need to buy this service for your booth or trade show presence.
iPad Battery Lasts for Hours
Unlike laptops or desktops that will need to connected to a power source, iPads can last up to 10 to 12 hours. As mentioned before with cost for Internet or wifi at trade shows, electricity is another cost that you will have to incur. If you are only using iPads as a way to display your company’s materials, you may not need to buy electricity. Regardless, you can use the same iPads all day, and will only need to charge them at the end of the day.
Offline Video is The Killer Feature
Adding video to your presentation is a must to get the attention of conference attendees. Check out a previous post on ‘creating video presentations on iPad‘ for more info on adding video to presentations. One of FlowVella’s core features is video* working offline. Once a video has been downloaded to the iPad, it plays instantly. (*Not embedded YouTube videos, which stream from the web).
