A car show or open house is being planned with the aim of selling vehicles: it's important to include one or more activities. Some are more popular with the public than others. Making the right choice is crucial to ensuring a memorable day.
Automotive animations: the ones that work
Ordering an ice structure:
Of course, this sculpture is shaped like a car and will sit atop a table. Everything must be in place to ensure it doesn't melt before the end of the day. Some people will enjoy taking photos and marvel at the artist's skill. This display, however, is purely visual and can be combined with others to maximize its impact.
Connected and touch-screen kiosks:
What was considered the future just a few decades ago is now changing the daily lives of the French. Touchscreen kiosks providing information about cars, and holograms that visitors can walk through, showcasing racing cars, are popular with some visitors who enjoy new experiences. This can delight children accompanying their parents. However, once the experience has been repeated, the information isn't always updated, which can lead to boredom.
The Photocall:
Ordered well in advance of the event and produced with the help of an experienced printer, a photo booth involves taking photos of participants (who do so voluntarily) against a backdrop in the colors of the garage, dealership, or other business. The business remains visible to the public since participants receive their photos at home, which also allows for the collection of certain personal data. However, not everyone participates.
Connected karting: what does it involve?
Virtual reality:
Some people will surely love it, feeling like they're driving a car around a racetrack. However, this experience is solitary, whereas the activities should be more social, not to mention that the headset can cause dizziness or headaches for some people.
Connected go-karting:
While the weaknesses of other activities are quickly apparent, connected go-karting seems to tick all the boxes for effectiveness. It's simply a go-kart track made up of inflatable modules (for safety) that create tight turns. A key feature not found in traditional go-karting is that the vehicles don't emit toxic fumes, as they run on rechargeable electric batteries. This allows the activity to be enjoyed both indoors and outdoors, making it a year-round, not seasonal, option. To cross the finish line and claim victory, participants must accumulate the most points. To do so, they must shoot at other competitors with a laser mounted on each vehicle. The other competitors notice their vehicles slowing down and look up at the scoreboard: no doubt about it, they're losing ground. To have a chance at victory, it's their turn to find targets to shoot at. They can rely on their driving skills, the fact that the kart can rotate 360°, or their shooting accuracy. What strategy should they adopt, knowing that everyone has the same goal? This is where personalities come out. Between those who are content to just drive and laugh, those who never give up and shoot indiscriminately to score points, and children as young as 9 who can participate: connected karting is a resounding success.
