Adapt your materials or activities to your company design so that the visitors identify your brand instantly. Use lightboxes, tarpaulin, vinyl, to decorate and exhibit your corporate design. The second one is the positioning of your products. Put the newest and most attractive ones and their accessories forward, eye level, and connect them in a way that stimulates people to keep on visiting your stand. The goal is to be attractive to attract customers, and to be useful and functional to gain their loyalty.

Once there, you will have the opportunity to turn that thirsty person (or with low battery) into your loyal client.
