BASIC Features
The BASIC Features
The BASIC functions are always activated with newroom connect.
If you need further functions, you can either find them in the PRO functions or contact us to implement further tools.
Overview of the Features
Areas
Individual areas not only enable a representative and interesting presentation of your showroom or trade fair stand, but also function as a tool for a better user journey and customer acquisition.
The wide range of design options for your exhibition stand or showroom also includes the use of multiple areas. You can create different virtual areas to make a thematic or functional demarcation. This differentiation not only serves to better orientate visitors or customers and thus improve the user journey, but also makes it easier for you to target your interested parties.
For example, there may be areas that represent a counselling area or a pure information area. This makes it possible to better differentiate visitors according to their interests, but your showroom can also have areas for different product groups, for example. The advantage is that every visitor can look for the products of interest to him or her directly in the corresponding area.
Examples from our Demo Showroom
Main Area
Trigger
The functions on the newroom connect platform are triggered by triggers.
4 triggers are available:
Action Buttons
An action button is a pulsating button that performs a specific action when clicked. Opening a pop-up with a video, redirecting to a desired website or changing areas are possible functions. The design of the action buttons can be changed by the background colour and the icons.
Multibutton
Clicking on the multibutton creates 4 action buttons that can be equipped with different functions. Their design is customisable. The multibutton is mainly used for topic-related functions (such as contact options via telephone, contact form and live chat) in a small space to ensure clarity.
Transparent Trigger
Instead of visible buttons, areas (such as screens or people) can be selected in the area that trigger functions by clicking.
Timetrigger
Timetriggers open pop-ups with information, videos or images after a set time. Visitors do not have to actively trigger this function.
