Expo! 2024 in Los Angeles, California. Their partnership demonstrated how data-driven insights and innovative booth activations can elevate trade show performance and deliver unmatched ROI.

Bringing Holiday Magic to the Trade Show Floor
Captello's activation centerpiece, the "Holiday Magic Photo Booth," captivated attendees with its AI-powered selfie transformation. Visitors became Christmas Legends, such as Santa Claus and Christmas Elves, through the Photo Booth Morphique experience. This activation created a buzz across the trade show floor with:

• Interactive Experiences: A central selfie station attracted attendees, while a 6' x 3' touchscreen provided by Cloud Touch displayed AI-generated images in real-time.
• Creative Promotions: Eye-catching postcards encouraged attendees to visit the booth to discover what they would look like as a Christmas Legend.
• Lead Capture Innovation: Each interaction captured valuable data, seamlessly feeding into Captello's Universal Lead Capture platform.

The result? Captello's booth saw 1,900 aisle visitors, with 40% stopping to engage—a rate far exceeding industry benchmarks.

Zenus Delivers Actionable Insights

• Extended Engagement: Visitors spent an average of 8.3 minutes at the booth, surpassing the global benchmark of 6.9 minutes.
• Conversion Excellence: A 90% conversion rate from extended visits to leads demonstrated the effectiveness of Captello's activation and staff interactions.

Zenus' metrics also showed a rare trade show trend: Captello's Day 2 booth traffic and dwell time increased, even as overall event attendance slightly declined.
