Finding an affordable way to market yourself at a trade show can be a challenge. As a small business owner, you may not have the budget to purchase or rent an extensive trade show booth display, so you'll need to be creative to get people's attention.

iPad kiosks are a handy solution that can be used in a few different ways depending on the trade show lead capture app and software you download.

In case you're wondering what an iPad kiosk is, it's simply an iPad enclosed in either a kiosk stand, wall mount, or table top stand. The tablet is used to display all kinds of marketing material intended to attract attendees to your booth, often with the dual purpose of collecting their email addresses. iPad kiosks sometimes require interaction from people and other times passively display visually appealing assets.

Here are eight different ways you can use an iPad kiosk at your next trade show to showcase your product and capture leads:

1. Sales video
2. Trivia quiz
3. Product design
4. Photo slideshow
5. Market research survey
6. Giveaway contest
7. Recruiting form
8. Newsletter sign up
