Trade show recap

Show them what the booth actually bought.

The booth cost five figures. What came home was a lead list and four blurry photos. Give every person working the stand one link, collect clips across the three days, and leave with a recap that shows the floor, the demos and the conversations.

“What question did you answer most today?”

The demo

“Film the thirty seconds of the demo people react to.”

Visitor

“What made you stop at this stand?”

The floor

“Show us the aisle right now, before it quietens down.”

Exhibiting is the one marketing spend that routinely produces no footage. The organiser films the show; nobody films your stand. So the recap that reaches your board is a lead count and a photo of an empty booth taken at 8am before the doors opened, and next year’s budget conversation starts from there. The fix is not a crew, it is the eight people already standing in your booth with phones. videos.me gives them one link: the demo that landed, the queue at 2pm, the prospect who said the quotable thing, thirty seconds each, recorded in the browser between conversations. You compile it on the flight home. Exhibitors use the same film three ways: the internal recap that justifies the stand, the follow-up email to everyone who scanned, and the pitch to the show organiser for a better position next year.

What you get back

A preview cut from the prompts on this page. Yours will be the clips your people record.

How it works

Three steps and a few minutes, and never an editor.

1

Create a link

Add a prompt like “What question did you answer most today?” and get one shareable link in seconds.

2

Everyone records

Anyone with the link opens it and records a short clip in their browser. They never install an app or make an account.

3

We make the film

We stitch the clips into one film that’s yours to watch, download, and share.

How to make a trade show recap video

1

Brief the stand at the morning huddle

One ask, one link, thirty seconds each. Say it on all three mornings, because day one footage is nobody’s best footage.

2

Put a QR code on the stand

Printed and at eye height, so a visitor who says something quotable can record it before they walk away.

3

Collect across the whole show

Clips arrive from the floor as they are recorded. Nothing to install, nothing to collect on a drive at the end.

4

Compile before you land

Order the clips, compile, and the recap goes out with the follow-up while the show is still the thing everybody was at.

Prompt ideas for your video
?

Pick one. One clear question gets more replies than four. People answer a question; they stall at a brief.

Make it theirs. Swap in the name and the detail only your group knows. “Share a memory of Dad” beats “share a memory”.

Say the length. Naming thirty seconds gives permission to stop, which is usually what someone is waiting for.

Say when you need it. A date does more for replies than any wording.

Give contributors a great question, or write your own.

Tips for the best results

Film the demo, not the booth

A wide shot of your stand is a photograph. The reason someone stopped is the ten seconds of the product doing the thing.

Ask visitors the question you want answered

“What made you stop?” produces the sentence your next campaign is built on. “Any feedback?” produces silence.

One clip from the quiet hour

A recap of nothing but peak-time crowds reads as staged to anyone who has worked a show. The honest version is more persuasive.

Works for these, too

One link, the same effortless flow, whatever you're collecting for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our booth staff are working. Will they actually record anything?

Only if the ask is small and the window is obvious. Thirty seconds between conversations, prompted once at the morning huddle, is realistic. “Film the day” is not, and asking for it is how exhibitors end up with nothing again.

Can visitors contribute, not just our team?

Yes, and their clips are the valuable half. A prospect saying what made them stop is worth more to a board than your own staff saying the stand went well. Put the link on the stand with a QR code and ask the question out loud.

Is this usable for the follow-up email?

That is its best job. Everyone who scanned your badge reader gets a generic email days later; a thirty-second film of the demo they half-watched, sent while they are still in the hotel, is the version that gets replies.

Three days, three halls. How do we keep it organised?

One collection for the show, and ask for the day in the prompt. If you exhibit at several shows a season, one collection per show keeps each recap and each lead-follow-up distinct.

Can we use visitor clips in marketing?

With permission, which you ask for in the prompt: “submitting means we can use this in our marketing”. On a show floor you are collecting from strangers rather than colleagues, so the line matters more here than anywhere else we work.

What does it cost to collect from a whole stand team?

You pay for the videos that arrive, not for the booth, the days or the show. Pay as you go is $0.35 a video, bundles cover 10, 25 or 50, and a stand team of eight sending four clips each is well inside the smallest bundle.

One link does the collecting for you.

Two minutes to set up, free to create, and nothing to pay until you unlock your videos.
