Handing over a branded photo magnet at a trade fair booth

For trade fair exhibitors

Two minutes every visitor spends at your booth.

We produce photo magnets with your logo live at your booth. While visitors wait for their picture, your team has the conversation. When they leave, they get the magnet and you get their contact details.

The real problem at the booth

Visitors walk past, conversations never happen

Booth rental, construction, staff, travel: the budget is spent before the first visitor arrives. Then most people walk past because there is no reason to stop. A giveaway barely changes that. It gets picked up in passing and rarely leads to a conversation.

How a magnet turns into a conversation

  1. 1

    Approach

    Your team approaches visitors with a finished magnet in hand: “Would you like a photo magnet?” Eight out of ten stop.

  2. 2

    Pick a photo

    The visitor scans the QR code and uploads a photo from their gallery. No app, no sign-up.

  3. 3

    Two minutes of conversation

    Production takes about two minutes. That is exactly when your team has the conversation the visitor would never have stopped for otherwise.

  4. 4

    Handover and contact

    As they leave, visitors get their magnet with your logo. We capture the contact by scanning the fair badge or during the upload. The list goes to you.

160 photo magnets in two fair days, a captured contact from every visitor

At Zukunft Personal Cologne 2026, our station was part of the Preply booth for two days. During that time, around 160 photo magnets were made, even though the hall drew comparatively few visitors. Every visitor who received a magnet stayed at the booth for at least two minutes during production, and their contact was captured by scanning their fair badge and handed straight to Preply. About 8 out of 10 visitors approached stopped. Three visitors independently said the photo magnet station was the best idea of the entire fair.

What the Preply team says

„Marc war mit uns auf der Messe und war ein perfekter Lockpunkt für unsere Besucher, die von der Idee mit Fotomagneten total begeistert waren. Die Kommunikation und Planung lief reibungslos, Marc war immer hilfsbereit und brachte neue Ideen mit. Ich musste mich am Stand um nichts kümmern, alles war perfekt eingerichtet. Ich kann es total an andere Firmen empfehlen!“

Translation: Marc joined us at the trade fair and was the perfect crowd-puller for our visitors, who were thrilled with the photo magnet idea. Communication and planning went smoothly, Marc was always helpful and brought new ideas. I didn't have to take care of anything at the booth, everything was set up perfectly. I can wholeheartedly recommend it to other companies!
