Increase Footfall At Your Trade Show Stand
Trade shows and exhibitions are competitive environments. Dozens, sometimes hundreds, of stands compete for the same attention. If you want to increase footfall and turn visitors into genuine leads, you need a reason for people to stop. One of the most effective ways to do that is by offering professionally served food and drink.
Party Occasions provides staffed food stations for exhibitions and corporate events across Birmingham, Solihull, Dudley, Wolverhampton, and West Bromwich and Castle Bromwich, as well as venues across the wider West Midlands.
Why Food Works at Trade Shows
Visitors naturally gravitate towards stands that offer something engaging. A well-presented food station creates movement, visibility, and curiosity. It gives your team a natural opening line and keeps prospects at your stand longer.
Instead of interrupting people mid-walk, you invite them in. Once they stop for a snack, your team can begin a relaxed conversation about your services.
Best Options for Exhibitions and Corporate Events
Some products work particularly well in exhibition halls and conference centres:
- Candy Floss and Popcorn Carts - visually striking and ideal for drawing attention across the room.
- Ice Cream Cart - especially effective at spring and summer exhibitions.
- Hot Dog Cart - keeps visitors at your stand longer while they eat.
- Pick and Mix Stand - can be branded and allows visitors to take something away.
- Chocolate Fountain - a strong visual centrepiece for premium corporate events.

Turn Attention Into Leads
Increased footfall is only the first step. The real value comes from conversion. Food creates dwell time - the longer someone remains at your stand, the more opportunity you have to explain your product, demonstrate your service, and collect contact details.
Many corporate clients combine a staffed food station with:
- QR codes placed near the serving area
- Prize draws linked to food collection
- Branded cups, bags, or display boards
- Lead capture forms before service
