01

About VoxMerch

What is VoxMerch?

VoxMerch™ is an AI-powered event activation that captures attendee voices and turns them into one-of-a-kind artwork, printed on branded merchandise right on the show floor. Each guest leaves with a keepsake only they could have created — and your team leaves with first-party insights into what your audience actually cares about.

How is VoxMerch different from a typical swag table or photo booth?

A swag table hands out the same item to everyone. A photo booth captures a moment but rarely creates a brand conversation. VoxMerch designs the moment around the object. The 30-second voice prompt is also exactly long enough for a real conversation between your team and the attendee, and the resulting merch is genuinely unique to that person — not luck, but a designed moment.

Who is VoxMerch for?

Brands and agencies running booth activations at trade shows, conferences, and corporate events — anywhere you want to create a designed moment of connection rather than leave it to chance. We’ve worked with Fortune 100 teams in life sciences, financial services, and event-marketing organizations.

Where does the name come from?

Vox is Latin for voice. VoxMerch turns voices into merchandise. Voices in. Merch out. Insights captured.

02

The Experience

What does the attendee actually do?

An attendee steps up to your booth, chooses a prompt, and speaks for about 30 seconds. Our AI generates a unique piece of artwork from the characteristics of their voice, and that artwork prints on branded merchandise right there on the floor. They walk away with a keepsake nobody else has — usually within a few minutes.

How does the AI generate artwork from a voice?

The voice sample is analyzed for acoustic features — tone, cadence, emotional signal — and those features are mapped to visual parameters in our generative model. The result is artwork mathematically tied to that specific voice. No two pieces are alike. If an attendee wants a different take on their artwork, one click generates a fresh version while keeping it personal to them.

How long does the full experience take per attendee?

From prompt to printed merch is typically 3–5 minutes. The voice capture itself is 30 seconds; the rest is a brief review, approval, and printing. Throughput depends on your booth setup and which fulfillment option you choose.

What kinds of prompts work best?

Anything that opens a real conversation. We’ve seen great results with prompts ranging from business pain points (“What’s the biggest blocker on your roadmap right now?”) to personal memories (“Describe your favorite event moment of the year.”). We’ll help you craft prompts that fit your brand and event objectives.

03

At Your Event

What do you need from us at the venue?

A booth footprint of about 10×10 ft is typical, with access to standard power and reliable Wi-Fi. We bring the technology, the printing equipment for onsite options, and a trained operator. Larger activations or higher-throughput needs can be configured on request.

How many attendees can you handle in a single event day?

With our standard onsite setup, plan on roughly 80–150 finished pieces per day. With drop-ship fulfillment — where attendees record at the booth and the merch ships to their address — throughput is significantly higher because production happens off-site.

Do you provide staff to run the booth, or do we?

Both options work. We can provide a trained brand ambassador to run the experience, or we can train your team during a brief pre-event session. Many brands choose a hybrid — our operator manages the technology while your team handles the conversation with attendees.

Can VoxMerch travel internationally?

Yes. We can ship equipment for events across North America and Europe and can advise on logistics for events further afield. International activations require a longer lead time, typically 6–8 weeks minimum to handle customs, equipment shipment, and onsite calibration.

04

Branding & Merchandise

What types of merchandise can we print on?

We support three primary fulfillment formats:

  • License Our Technology — license the voice-to-artwork engine and run it on your own onsite equipment using your existing workflow.
  • Onsite Print & Pickup — we provide the technology and onsite printing services so attendees leave the event with custom merch made from their voice sample.
  • Drop-Ship to Attendees — we handle production and ship items directly to each attendee’s address. Great for high-volume events.

Each format can be branded with your event logo, sponsor lockup, and color palette.

Can I customize the prompts to match my campaign?

Yes — prompts are fully customizable. We work with you in advance to design 1–3 prompts aligned to your brand voice and event objectives. Custom prompts also produce more useful first-party insights downstream, since the questions are tied to the themes you actually care about.

Can the artwork itself be styled to match our brand?

To a degree, yes. We can constrain palettes, motifs, and aesthetic direction so generated artwork stays on-brand while still being unique to each attendee. The personalization is what makes the keepsake feel made just for them, so we work with you to find the right balance between brand consistency and individual expression.

Can we white-label the experience?

Yes. The booth, the on-screen prompts, the printed pieces, and the post-event report can all be fully branded to your client. White-label arrangements are common for agencies running activations on behalf of brand partners.

05

Data, Privacy & Security

What data do we receive after the event?

A post-event report containing real names, real emails, and thematic insights into the topics, feelings, and pain points your audience expressed during their voice prompts. Not foot traffic estimates. Not badge scans. Real first-party data you can use for follow-up and messaging.

How quickly is the report delivered?

Standard reports are delivered within 3–5 business days of your event. Expedited delivery is available on request.

Can the data integrate with our CRM or marketing automation?

Yes — we support exports to Salesforce, HubSpot, and Marketo, and CSV exports are available for any other system. Custom integrations can be scoped during the planning phase of your event.

Is the voice data private?

Yes. Each attendee gives explicit consent before recording. Voice samples are encrypted in transit and at rest, processed only to generate the artwork and insights you receive, and retained per your contract — typically 60 days before deletion.

How do you handle privacy and compliance?

We follow industry-standard practices for consent, data subject access, and deletion. We’re happy to walk through specifics during a discovery call.

06

Pricing & Booking

How does pricing work?

VoxMerch offers three packages aligned to our three fulfillment options: License Our Technology, Onsite Print & Pickup, and Drop-Ship to Attendees. Pricing depends on event scale, throughput, and customization. Most activations land between a small-event package in the mid-four figures and flagship multi-day activations in the mid-five figures. Contact us for a quote tailored to your event.

What’s included in a typical package?

Equipment, software, branded artwork generation, one trained operator, post-event reporting, and a single round of pre-event prompt design. Add-ons include extra operators, premium merchandise tiers, and expedited reporting.

Is there a minimum event size?

We work best at events with 200 or more expected booth interactions. For smaller events, our drop-ship option is often the more cost-efficient fit since you don’t need to staff or equip an onsite production setup.

How far in advance do we need to book?

Most activations require 4–6 weeks of lead time. Custom branding, premium merchandise, or international logistics may require longer. If you have an event sooner than that, reach out anyway — we’ll honestly tell you what’s possible.

How do I request a demo?

Click Book a Demo anywhere on the site. We’ll set up a 30-minute walkthrough tailored to your event and audience.
