The #1 Line Management Solution for Events
Elevate your event with NextMe’s onsite virtual queue and crowd control software. Tailored for experiential marketing producers and brands exhibiting at conferences, trade shows, and activations, NextMe turns wait times into valuable engagement opportunities that create memorable experiences and boost your brand.
How a hybrid virtual and physical queuing system can help events and brand activations reach their full potential
A packed activation is a sign of a successful event. The real challenge is striking the right balance: of keeping a visible physical line that signals demand, without making guests stand in place so long that it ruins their experience. With NextMe’s hybrid model, attendees scan a QR code to join the wait virtually, hold their spot without standing in place for hours, and receive an SMS notification when their turn is approaching.
Retain more attendees and reduce the workload on your staff
Wait times may be inevitable, but they don’t need to hurt the attendee experience at your event. NextMe gives you all the tools you need to manage expectations and streamline your attendee flow. Events that use NextMe often see a 30% increase in attendee retention while freeing up event staff to focus on other important tasks. A hybrid virtual and physical queueing solution doesn’t need to be overcomplicated, and we’re here to help you modernize your workflow in just a few easy steps.
Manage lines and crowds at peak demand
Lines signal excitement but chaos doesn’t have to come with them. With NextMe, attendees receive a text notifying them that they’re next in line. They can either return when it’s closer to their turn to check in, or cancel. If they cancel, your staff simply moves on to the next guest in the queue. With Self Check-in, you can let attendees join the wait on their own. It’s an easy, efficient, and way more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
Capture compliant data for lead generation
NextMe captures first and zero-party data which is a compliant and easy way to build customer lists and re-engage with attendees and prospects. With NextMe, you can conveniently export your data to use with other CRM tooling, helping you make the most of the leads you capture.
Boost your brand exposure with our virtual waiting room
Attendees can check their position in line and estimated wait time on your Virtual Waiting Room. You can also leverage this real estate to display branded content while they wait. Promote specials, share your social media accounts, and drive traffic to the channels you care about.
Standardize your check-in process to maximize attendee throughput
With NextMe, you can easily set up unique service lanes and configure your workflow to fit your event setting. By efficiently managing the wait, you’ll reduce no shows and get more attendees through the door.
