Coined in the 1950’s, the term Door Prize<\/strong> refers to a kind of giveaway in which participants enter simply by attending an event or, as the name suggests, merely by walking through the door<\/b>. As the world of promotions and giveaways inevitably moves to the digital realm, it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that Door Prizes<\/strong> are a thing of the past.

As we\u2019ve mentioned before, Door Prizes<\/strong> are giveaways that take place during events in which all attendees stand a chance to win a prize by the mere fact that they walked into the event.

When to celebrate Door Prizes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there is one thing that all events have in common, is that they bring together people with a shared interest<\/b>. Whether it be professional interest, education, or even a hobby, this common ground among attendees provides the perfect opportunity to generate engagement, boost brand awareness, promote and sell products or services, and the list goes on. So with this in mind, let’s take a look at what kind of events provide the perfect setting for Door Prizes<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Door Prizes at Trade Shows and Expos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These events bring together industry professionals and potential customers. Offering a door prize can encourage people to visit your booth, engage with your products or services, and provide you with an opportunity to gather leads<\/b>. Tip: Keep signing up to the giveaway simple and fast and configure the registration form to include the information you need to collect. As a rule of thumb, name, company, and professional email address should be enough. Provide a tablet for visitors to sign up, or if you expect high traffic volume, display a QR code that visitors can scan to access the registration form and sign up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
