A Booth Activation That Actually Drives Traffic

Booth Traffic Driver
Stand out on a crowded floor

A golf simulator is visible and audible from across the hall. Attendees walk toward the activity — and toward your booth — before they ever read your signage.

Foot trafficVisibility
Closest-to-the-Pin Competitions
Keeps attendees at your booth longer

A running leaderboard gives attendees a reason to stop, take a swing, and come back later to check their standing — extending real time spent with your brand.

Exhibitor Engagement
Real conversations, not cold pitches

Waiting for a turn or watching a shot creates a natural, low-pressure moment for your sales team to start a real conversation with a prospect.

Warm conversationsSales enablement
Premium Booth Presence
Reads as a real activation

The simulator itself gives your booth a high-production feel that a tabletop giveaway can't match. Pair it with your own booth signage or banners for a fully branded footprint.

Lead-Generation Use Cases
Optional capture at check-in

Pair the leaderboard with a simple sign-up to enter, and every competitor becomes a captured contact your team can follow up with after the show.

Fully Staffed Operation
Your team stays focused on selling

We run the simulator and the competition from open to close, so your booth staff spends every minute on conversations, not equipment.

Why it works

What Makes a Simulator a Better Booth Draw Than a Giveaway Table

01
Motion draws attention on a static show floor

Most booths are tables and banners. A live screen with a swinging club and a crowd is the one thing attendees notice from thirty feet away.

02
It creates dwell time, not drive-by traffic

A leaderboard competition keeps people at your booth for minutes, not seconds — long enough for your team to actually qualify a lead.

03
Works for exhibitors and hosted client events alike

Same setup fits a 10x10 trade show booth or a hospitality suite entertaining VIP clients during the conference.

Questions

Trade Show Activation FAQ

Can you fit a simulator in a standard 10x10 trade show booth?
A standard setup needs about 15 feet wide by 10 feet deep, so a single 10x10 booth is tight. Most exhibitors pair two adjacent booths or use a corner/end-cap space. We'll confirm your exact booth dimensions before booking.
Do you handle convention center load-in requirements?
Yes. We coordinate with show management and venue logistics for load-in windows, power drops, and any union labor requirements specific to the convention center.
Can the simulator display our company branding?
We don't offer custom on-screen branding overlays. The activation itself is a strong draw on its own — many exhibitors pair it with their own booth signage, banners, or a step-and-repeat backdrop nearby for a fully branded footprint.
How does lead capture work with the competition?
We can pair the leaderboard sign-up with a simple contact form, so every attendee who competes becomes a captured lead your sales team can follow up with directly.
Is this only for exhibitors, or can it work for a hosted client suite too?
Both. We regularly set up in exhibitor booths as well as hospitality suites and after-hours client events tied to a Columbus conference or trade show.
How far in advance should we book for a trade show?
We recommend 3–4 weeks out for standard bookings, and 6+ weeks for large conventions with strict load-in logistics or multi-day activations.
