The one screen every guest in line checks

Guests come back to their waiting room again and again. A sponsor placement there reaches everyone in line, and every click is tracked.

Frequently asked questions

What are good virtual waiting room examples?

Strong examples give guests something to do or know while they wait. Fenty Beauty and Cvent CONNECT gave the screen to a sponsor, Evereden ran a skincare quiz, Funko and DC listed their convention exclusives, LEGO showed a map of its activation, and Hello Kitty Cafe told guests how fast the line moves.

How do sponsors use a virtual waiting room?

A sponsor gets a placement on the page every guest in line keeps checking, with a link to its own page. At Cvent CONNECT, 15.9% of guests clicked through to American Express, and Visit Anaheim’s sponsored gifting suite drew about 700 clicks into its gift catalog. See the sponsor examples.

What should I put in my virtual waiting room?

Start with what guests ask your staff: where to go, how long the line takes and what to bring. Then add what you want them to do next, like shop a drop, take a quiz or visit a sponsor. How the virtual waiting room works covers every option.

Do these virtual waiting rooms work outside of events?

Yes. Bayou on the Beach sends waiting diners next door to its shop and bar, and the South Carolina DMV lets customers fill in paperwork from their cars while they wait.
