Mobile Apps for Meetings – Learn the Value

Thought you might be interested in this article Corbin Ball wrote today, The Business Value of Mobile Apps for Meetings. It cites important data and lists the benefits of mobile apps at events.

For example, recent data from MPI’s FutureWatch 2011 Survey and others indicate that more than 80% of meeting professionals are using smartphones and other mobile devices in their jobs.

Key takeaways include:

  1. We will see a very rapid adoption of mobile applications for events during the next two years.
  2. Tangible benefits for event organizers, exhibitors and attendees include: Real-time distribution and access to all conference information, environmentally friendly, enhanced onsite networking, feedback through surveys and polling, enhanced branding, new revenue streams from sponsorships and advertising, better analytics, better lead retrieval.

With a lead retrieval mobile app like iLeads exhibitors can capture leads anywhere: in the tradeshow booth, conference sessions, meetings, events, keynotes and dinners- onsite or offsite. All leads are immediately uploaded to secure website for easy retrieval and lead management. iLeads costs show managers nothing, guaranteed.

 

 

We invite you to attend our iLeads Tradeshow App web demo. In less than ten minutes, we’ll walk you through all of the steps required to get the iLeads App up and running at your show.

Bartizan Presents a Free Webinar: Secrets to Help Attendees and Exhibitors Stay Connected after the Show

Bartizan Connects today announced details of an upcoming webinar, “Secrets to Help Attendees and Exhibitors Stay Connected after the Show,” a 10 minute lunchtime session. This webinar is part of Bartizan’s Monthly Free Webinar Thought Leadership Series for members of the trade show industry.

The live webinar is hosted by Bartizan’s president, Lew Hoff.  Post webinar, attendees will also receive the informative slides from the day’s educational session. For more information about this webinar or to register, please visit: http://tinyurl.com/TradeshowWebinar

Bartizan recently surveyed trade show attendees across a range of industries and show profiles. The focus of the survey was to determine how they view the show experience and how they deal with what they’ve learned from the show when they return home. The methodology used for gathering this research was a series of online focus groups used to solicit attitudes and opinions regarding trade show industry experiences from the unique perspectives of trade show attendees.

Bartizan thought the data was worth sharing with customers. It is expected that it will not apply to everyone. But its expected that it will apply to many tradeshow participants. In a landscape where show attendance is at risk, delivering this kind of added value for everyone may be good territory to explore.

When Bartizan analyzed what was learned from the interactions with attendees in the context of similar interactions with exhibitors and organizers, it was noted how ineffective post-show interaction was between attendees and exhibitors.

If broader marketplace visibility plays a role in show strategy, then how visitors are handles who aren’t active sales opportunities becomes important. During this webinar we pinpoint where we see exhibitors lose that visibility with the broader marketplace. And we suggest a general approach to solving it that some might find worth pursuing.

The 10-minute session is jam-packed with takeaways. Specifically we focus on:

1. A profile of the “curious” Attendee.

2. The breakdown of the connection between Exhibitors and those Attendees.

3. The problem that breakdown causes.

4. The collaboration between Exhibitors and Organizers that can repair that connection.

  2. You exhibit at shows to gather leads – so you should manage leads in a quick, digital way.
  3. Never lose a lead by dropping a business card.
  4. Salespeople back at the office can follow up on leads while you’re still at the show.
  5. Leads should have qualifiers and notes so you remember the interaction.
  6. iLeads lets you capture leads at parties, dinners and luncheons during the tradeshow too.
  7. Offers easy database upload after the show.

iLeads Lead Retrieval App a Success at ASAE 2010 Annual Meeting

Last month, iLeads was offered to exhibitors to use at ASAE & The Center’s Annual Meeting & Expo in Los Angeles, California. We were thrilled with the response. ASAE show organizers offered iLeads to exhibitors on their order forms and many exhibitors chose to purchase a license and use iLeads at their booth.

Exhibitors loved how easy it was to capture and qualify leads with notes and surveys, they also liked the ability to collect leads anywhere and anytime during the show, at dinners, parties and even the airport! Many exhibitors already had iPads at their booths so it just made sense to buy the iLeads license.


Here is a short video clip of some of the great comments we received.


Combined with the most popular business and social networking apps, iLeads has become the starting point for a powerful, integrated lead generation and follow-up system.

Show management appreciated the substantially lower operating costs – no shipping, no on-site techs, no training, and equipment maintenance costs are eliminated. iLeads does not require a bar-coded badge, saving time and money and eliminating common bar code complications.
