Last week, I had highlighted some of the key capabilities of our VirtualEvents365℠ Version 3 solution. This week, I would like to delve further into this topic and talk specifically about how we’ve tried to increase the ‘stickiness’ of the virtual booth.

What is stickiness? Stickiness is trying to hold the attention of the visitor in order to engage them in a productive exchange of information.

In the context of the virtual booth, it’s ideal to make it “sticky” so that visitors stay longer, absorb the sponsor’s message and interact with a booth representative. With most virtual event platforms, this is accomplished by providing a collection of content to review and a representative with whom you can chat. Video/flash content is usually the most engaging for visitors, however most of the times it is buried in a pick list where it is not easy to find, and only one video message plays in the booth. In Version 3 we gave sponsors the option to place front and center in the booth easily accessible video clips (taken from longer videos). Since visitors can view several different video/flash clips, they are more likely stay longer.

Another way to make the booth sticky is to deliver an engaging and exciting environment. We know from our e-learning business that games can be a great tool for engaging learners and delivering/ reinforcing a message. In Version 3 we gave sponsors the option to create and offer games, including crosswords, jeopardy-style contests, word matches, and more, which can be displayed directly in their booth. Furthermore, offering prizes is another way to make the games—and the overall experience—more engaging, so visitors now have additional reasons to stay longer.

Taking chat to the next level: using text chat as the primary medium of communication in a virtual booth can be very challenging for both the booth representative and the visitors. Booth representatives can only type so fast and there is a natural tendency to respond with full sentences, proper grammar and no typos. The lengthy answers at times make this process even more cumbersome and frustrating for both parties. VirtualEvents365 Version 3 has taken chat capabilities to the next level by providing the booth representative with the option to answer visitor questions with a voice response. The representative can address their voice to either one visitor or to all visitors at the booth. This capability gives booth representatives a way to engage more effectively with visitors. Stay tuned to learn more ways in which we are making the virtual event experience more compelling and productive for event hosts, sponsors and attendees.

We recently announced Version 3 of our VirtualEvents365 platform, which includes many new capabilities. Enhancements to the virtual booths, which event organizers create or offer to sponsors as part of the virtual exhibit hall, meaningfully improve lead capture and qualification.

Every marketer wants to generate booth traffic… but what happens when you have too much concurrent traffic? This can be a major roadblock, especially when a speaker does a good job encouraging participants to drop by their company’s booth after the presentation ends. In the physical world, booth attendees can easily see whether a booth representative is available to speak and can decide whether to wait or leave. However, in most virtual event platforms, the attendee who asks a question at a booth has no idea how long they will have to wait for an answer if the booth representative does not reply immediately. So, instead of it being a blessing – lots of booth traffic – it can quickly turn into a curse –frustrated attendees with unfulfilled expectations.

Version 3 of VirtualEvents365 addresses this by providing a queuing system that informs booth visitors if there is a wait and how long the wait will be. Furthermore, booth visitors are given the option to leave a message, which would be answered as soon as the booth representative became available.

Another way Version 3 helps drive the effectiveness of marketers is by providing multiple booth representatives with tools to manage and direct booth traffic. The booth representatives’ “cockpit” allows them to see a profile of visitors at the booth and then assign the most appropriate representative to engage with each unique visitor. Think about the impact you can have by pairing up the right subject matter expert with a booth visitor… consistently exceed expectations by surprising and delighting your guests!

These are just a few of the ways we have improved Version 3. With VirtualEvents365 for Demand Generation, we are committed to helping our clients turn passive booth visitors into engaged prospects.

Zugegeben, ich habe kein AppleTv. Würde das gerät auch endlich in Deutschland unter die 250€ Grenze fallen, wäre darüber nach zu denken.
Erschwerend kam die alte Menüform hinzu, die mir nicht 100% zusagte.

Ähnlich wie beim Mac OSX gefiel mir die alte graue Frontrow Einstellung deutlich besser.

Soviel dazu. Nun gibt es eine neue verbesserte AppleTV Software, die es hoffentlich auch ins Frontraw schafft.

Horizontal angeordnet sind die Menüpunkte und gehen dann nach unten weg. Auch auf iTunes LP wurde geachtet, so dass nun auch diese Inhalte betrachtet werden können.

Besser, schicker, schneller….wir wollen es auch in Snow Leopard

IBS Version 3 includes the conversion of key programs to ‘objects’, the streamlining and simplification of many of the business processes, multi-business/company functions and the latest Microsoft developments.

The majority of developments have been focused on allowing end users to tailor the functionality of the product to suit specific business information needs without modifying the software and, therefore, not impacting support and cost of ownership. This has been achieved in five major areas: user defined fields, XML data, customized key chain
, output, configurable user interfaces, WayFinder, customized key chain
, business process mapping, customized key chain
, and additional product integration.

IBS Version 3 consists of 165 separate software developments ranging from major engineering object orientation of business processes to enable Client, object or Web-based access to the software function, to simple screen design changes, customized key chain
, .

Version 3, customized key chain
, has been developed in close cooperation with the existing user community, which has resulted in significant performance increases for end user businesses. Some 40% of the development work has resulted from customers’ own modifications which have been standardised within IBS. Chairman of the IBS User Group Terry Parker comments: “In the past 18 months there has been extensive representation from, customized key chain
, the user base. K3 has made tremendous efforts to really get IBS users involved in this new release, and we have helped develop many of the changes ourselves. These include: menu configurators, which are of the user-friendly, customized key chain
, Explorer type; WayFinder, which is a new approach to user manuals; and multi-business, customized key chain
, facilities, which my own company, Raytheon, customized key chain
, Systems, has found extremely beneficial.”

A significant change, customized key chain
, to Version 3 is the introduction of the K3 Advanced Configurator. This powerful suite of software helps companies to quickly and accurately build valid products with, customized key chain
, their associated costs, as well as having generic interfaces to PDM, CAD and CAM software applications. It is a true rules-based configurator and requires no end-user programming skills. It can also work on-line to ERP as an integrated product or off-line as an aid to a sales team, allowing product configuration in front of the customer.

Version 3 has full XML import and export capabilities built into the product. XML has had a significant benefit in the control of business focused documentation such as Purchase Orders and Sales Invoices. With many businesses having twenty or more such documents it has been problematical for many IT department to manage their creation and formatting. This task has been reduced substantially with the introduction of XML.

WayFinder is a complete replacement for previous on-line help from IBS. The philosophy of WayFinder is to allow the end user to navigate to the required information graphically without the need for word or string searches of any kind. This allows users to find the information or help they require and also to put the information in the overall context of the system’s requirements, customized key chain
, and information flow throughout the organisation.

WayFinder has built-in capabilities to allow K3 customers to record specific procedural changes or differences within their own business and link them to the standard model. A number of existing IBS customers have taken this product function prior to Version 3 being released and used it to document their own ISO and business procedures, potentially saving hundreds of hours within their internal QA departments. The updated WayFinder files are then published on the company intranet for all to see and use.

With over 150 UK installations, IBS is a great success with small to medium-sized manufacturing companies. IBS is authored and supported in the UK and customers include Rolls Royce,, customized key chain
, Thales, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Dunlop, and many other well-known names in industries ranging from satellites to stationery and machinery to missiles.
