When launching a new product, the ability to secure orders on the spot is critical, especially in the fast-moving world of B2B sales. At CHAMPS Trade Show in Las Vegas, where we debuted our new hemp product line for Sluggers (sluggers.com), having a reliable internet connection made all the difference. Thanks to OTR Mobile’s Inseego portable internet device, we were able to seamlessly process orders, manage inventory, and keep our team connected throughout the event.
A Seamless Setup
Walking onto the show floor, I knew internet access could be a challenge. Convention center Wi-Fi is notoriously unreliable, and for a brand making its industry debut, connectivity is non-negotiable. Fortunately, the setup with Inseego was effortless. I simply plugged in the device at our booth, and within 2-3 minutes, we were up and running with a solid connection.
Overcoming a Hiccup with Quick Support
No tech setup is flawless, and early on in the show, we did hit a brief connectivity snag. For about 10 minutes, we lost connection, an eternity when engaging with buyers. However, OTR Mobile’s customer support was on point. A quick message to their chat support, and almost like magic, we were back online with zero issues for the remaining four days of the show. That kind of reliability and responsive service is exactly what brands need in high-stakes, high-energy environments.
Driving Sales with Instant Connectivity
Being able to finalize orders in real-time gave us a major advantage. Buyers want convenience, and with our internet-powered POS setup, we could capture sales on the spot rather than relying on post-show follow-ups. This wasn’t just about connectivity it was about enabling business efficiency and maximizing opportunities in a competitive space.
The Future of Mobile Internet in Trade-Shows
Our experience at CHAMPS highlighted a growing need for portable, high-speed internet solutions at trade shows and retail events. Whether it’s processing transactions, live-streaming product demos, or keeping remote teams in the loop, brands across industries can benefit from OTR Mobile’s solutions. For businesses at trade-shows, where traditional banking and payment processing can be complex, having reliable internet access is a game-changer.
At Natura.io, we’re always looking to push boundaries and explore new collaborations that enhance our business. CHAMPS was a major success, and OTR Mobile’s Inseego device played a key role in that. If you’re in the business of selling, networking, or showcasing products at events, investing in portable internet isn’t just a convenience, it’s a necessity.
Looking forward to the next event, knowing we’ll be connected, wherever we go.
