ExpoFP alternative
A plan people can read is the easy half.
The hard half is a plan that takes payment, holds a stand, expires the hold and stays true while five people are selling from it.
Interactive plan tools make the map good. An expo team also needs the map to be the transaction.
What ExpoFP is good at
ExpoFP is quick to stand up, the plans look right on a phone, and for an organizer who mainly needs visitors to find stands, it does the job at a fair price.
The job underneath the show
A plan that is a picture has to be kept in sync with whatever is actually selling the floor. The moment two people sell the same stand, or a hold quietly expires in a spreadsheet, the picture and the truth part company.
Side by side
What changes. The same jobs, handled by Expola and by ExpoFP's category.
| The job | Expola | Interactive floor plans |
|---|---|---|
| Plan for visitors | Interactive, searchable, on the site and in the app | Its core strength |
| Plan for selling | Zone pricing, holds that expire, card or invoice payment | A view, kept in sync by hand |
| Exhibitor onboarding | Portal with manual, deadlines, staff badges and add-ons | Not the product |
| Directory and program | Generated from exhibitor and session data, published to a site built to rank | Listings attached to the plan |
| What happens after the show | Leads, attendance and revenue by stand, ready for rebooking | Nothing to report on |

Why teams move
Three reasons it keeps happening.
01
One plan, not a plan and a spreadsheet
When the plan is the point of sale, double bookings and stale holds stop being a category of problem.
02
Premium positions price themselves
Corner, entrance and aisle-facing stands carry their own rate on the plan, so the value of position is captured rather than negotiated each time.
03
The plan keeps earning after the show
Revenue, footfall and leads by stand tell you what to charge for each zone next edition.
