Your Attendees as the Main Characters
Attendees at tradeshows are constantly bombarded with generic handouts that fail to make an impression. Standing out requires more than giveaways, it takes a memorable experience.
Our system shifts the focus to your prospects, making them the “Main Character” of the day with a personalized souvenir. This taps into the powerful desire to feel seen and valued, driving curiosity and engagement far beyond the typical booth interaction.
The result is a fun, ego boosting experience that keeps attendees coming back, builds emotional connections, and leaves them remembering your brand long after the event, turning brief encounters into lasting business relationships.
Fully Personalized, High-Impact Design
Move beyond generic photo overlays. We create a full, bespoke trading card template designed exclusively for your event. Our design process ensures every card perfectly aligns with your vision, incorporating your corporate logos, brand colors, event hashtags, and personalized ‘player stats’ or text fields. The result is a premium, high-impact keepsake that looks professionally licensed, elevating your brand and delivering maximum wow-factor.
Dual-Action Souvenirs: Print & Post
Every guest receives a valuable two-in-one souvenir. They get a high-quality, professional physical collector card printed on-site to take home immediately. This tangible keepsake ensures your brand or event memory lasts. Crucially, they also receive an instant digital file of their card (via text or email) that’s perfectly optimized for sharing across social media, maximizing your event’s reach and buzz.
Experience Managed by a Pro
You focus on your guests; we handle the magic. Our professional, on-site attendant manages every aspect of the Trading Card Booth from start to finish. This includes ensuring proper lighting, directing guests for the best poses, managing prop usage, and instantly handling printing and digital delivery. This dedicated approach keeps the guest line moving efficiently, maximizes the number of cards printed during your rental time, and guarantees a fun, flawless experience for every single attendee.
Compact Footprint with Professional Lighting
We deliver studio-quality photography in a compact, event-friendly package. While the experience is high-impact and engaging, the entire booth typically requires a minimal 10×10 foot area, ensuring we can fit seamlessly into almost any venue, large or small. Critically, this space includes our professional-grade lighting setup and branded backdrop, ensuring every trading card photo is crisp, perfectly lit, and ready for high-quality printing.
Turn Fun Into Follow-Up
Your event photos become a powerful business tool. Our integrated, user-friendly sharing kiosk features an opt-in lead capture system that collects guest emails or phone numbers upon sharing or printing their personalized card. This turns a popular photo experience into a valuable data generator, providing you with a highly engaged contact list. Use this list for immediate post-event follow-up, nurture campaigns, or exclusive future offers, dramatically increasing your event’s return on investment (ROI).
