Kostya’s #1 Secret to Generating Trade Show Leads With Magic

One big secret to Kostya's success as a trade show magician? Fostering positive perceptions ahead of time.

Before Kostya’s trade show performances, he films a personalized invitation video that the company shared on their social media. This video invites attendees to visit the booth and spend time with the team. It ends with a call to action, encouraging viewers to use a QR code to schedule their meeting ahead of time.

This pre-show promotion strategy has proven incredibly effective. People who see the video in advance arrive at the booth asking for their scheduled appointments. If the person they were meant to meet was briefly unavailable, Kostya stepped in to create a positive waiting experience, ensuring no potential lead was lost.

The combination of advertising the performance to drive traffic and engaging visitors with exactly what is promised — magic and a meeting — proves to be a successful plan to drive business forward.
