Overall Satisfaction with Whova
My company is comprised of myself and one other employee, my wife, and we recently used Whova to promote our products, both new and established, and to meet virtually with clients and friends as our usual show/meeting was cancelled due to COVID which addressed the current problem of not being able to gather in person.
- The app keeps everyone up-to-date with real-time notifications of how participants are viewing presentations, promotions and notices
- It enables exhibitors to view participants, including competitors, before going live in order to ensure equal opportunity and better understanding of how best to operate
- The meeting forums, such as integrated Zoom, were robust enough technology for those with cutting-edge gear as well as those less tech-savvy who might have older components as they worked for all types of hardware.
- The app seemed to capture the "Community" feeling one gets when attending a live show with personal messages, public and private message groups, introductory procedures and an all-inclusive design suitable for any user
- I would have liked to be able to upload documents such as pdf's and Word files from my mobile device or desktop easier.
- When uploading photos the default was to my photo gallery on my mobile rather than being able to search deeper into Google Drive or other saved files.
- Documents and pictures were public, which is good for more social interaction, but I would have liked to have been able to upload unlimited pics and docs on my personal booth as well instead of 5 pics and 2 docs.
- We were able to present closeout opportunities which worked well as our current climate tends to lean toward saving wherever possible so there was some success in that area in particular
- Our organizers priced the participation well as the price of admission was half the cost of our biannual dues which it went toward if one participated
- Since we can continue using the app after the show it enables vendors to [do] their diligent follow ups without having to have a separate database of clients and interested parties
