Chief Ingredient and the Direct Marketing Association Partner-Up for a New Twist in Driving Attendees to the Booths at the DMA2013

(PRWEB) October 05, 2013

The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) and Chief Ingredient are pairing together at the Annual DMA Conference, in Chicago, IL on October 12-17. Together, they will facilitate the DMA2013 Scavenger Hunt. The event gives over 200 marketing leaders a chance to bring their brands to life and actively engage with industry professionals.

With the DMA2013 Scavenger Hunt, attendees are encouraged to find the participating exhibitors and at each booth they engage with, they receive not only a chance to win a prize from that exhibitor, but also the daily grand prize. The more booths they engage with, the more chances they have to win. For the DMA2013 show, Chief Ingredient has integrated with the attendee registration software, Orchid, and attendees can participate with only their badge number.

Chief Ingredient’s software, Blazon, which powers the Scavenger Hunt, takes care of the promotion creation, entries, data management, winner selection, and more - the exhibitors only have to strike up a conversation with the attendees that show up to their booth. The exhibitors will receive a list with details on each attendee that entered their promotion. Meanwhile, the DMA2013 is providing signage throughout the Exhibit Hall to promote all of the companies participating in the hunt.

Participating exhibitors can choose to offer their own daily prize, while the DMA2013 is offering a daily grand prize of $500. Winners of the scavenger hunt and all the participating exhibitors will be announced at the DMA Village at 4:30 p.m. on Monday and 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday during DMA2013.
