Mobile Lead Retrieval a Success at 2011 ASAE Meeting

At ASAE 2011, Bartizan launched new event registration services and QR Code services at the meeting.

Bartizan was the official mobile lead retrieval vendor at the show providing iLeads to all exhibitors. iLeads Smartphone lead retrieval is easier to use than most traditional lead retrieval equipment, offers exhibitors portability and instant access to leads. To download iLeads App exhibitors may go to the Apple App Store or Android Market and search for ‘iLeads’.

Here are highlights from the 2011 ASAE Annual Meeting & Expo in St. Louis, MO. Bartizan gave product demonstrations of the iLeads app, new event registration services and QR code event services.

With the addition of registration and QR Code event solutions to Bartizan’s line of services the goal is to increase event attendance, decrease costs, simplify attendee and exhibitor connections and speed up the sales cycle at events.

For booth giveaways, Bartizan offered its 2011 Social Media Tips for Event Organizers Guide and free personalized QR Codes at their booth. Bartizan’s Personalized QR code Generator tool allows users to relay contact information directly into someone’s Smartphone. This QR code can be used to network and exchange contact details for all show participants throughout the show and beyond with any Smartphone.

The iPad2: What it Can Mean for Trade Show Exhibitors

Lots of companies have found just how useful the original iPad can be at a trade show. Now comes the iPad2. Is it any better than the original?  Darn tootin’, in my opinion.  It can be used to show videos better than ever. You want musical accompaniment? No problem. Maybe you want to call the home office and give the folks back there a look at the show. If they have an iPad2, you can do it. As for lead capture, currently there is no better way in my opinion. So, install your video, download iLeads and you are set to go.

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.

Show Managers love Bartizan’s Tradeshow App, iLeads.

iLeads makes lead follow up easy for exhibitors and this makes show management happy. A prioritized lead is a hot lead.  iLeads for Blackberry will launch second quarter 2011. Exhibitors can use their own devices or they can rent iPod touches or iPads from show management. Since the April 2010 launch, iLeads has won TSEA’s Breakthrough Award and Tradeshow Executive’s Innovation Award.

“We chose to use Bartizan’s lead retrieval app because it’s very easy to use, did not require bar-coding, there are no minimum on app purchases, no fees, did not require us to coordinate the rentals, and Bartizan’s great customer service!

Our goal was to give our exhibitors a lead retrieval system that was easy and affordable.

This was our first time using any lead retrieval system for our meeting and Bartizan allowed us to incorporate our current registrant database, without any special requirements.  We simply sent them our registrant list and they took care of the rest!  The only thing we had to do was pass out iPod touch rentals on-site and they provided a technical support number for any on-site issues.

We did not pay anything out of pocket.  All we did was send them our registrant list and they took care of the promotions, uploads, and everything! Our exhibitors loved having the ability to use the system and gather member information without taking home a pile business cards to sort through.”

Top Seven Reasons You Need iLeads at Your Show

  1. Lead retrieval captures attendee’s full registration data – purchasing authority, buying timeline, company size as well as other useful data.
  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.
