One of the main reasons exhibitors join events is to connect with potential leads or customers and expand their professional and social networks. Exhibitors can easily collect information in an in-person event by scanning their QR codes through the Accelevents Attendee App. They can log in to the app and scan the QR code to automatically populate the attendee's information. There is no need to bring out a paper and pen sign-up sheet!
Notes:
You must be an exhibitor admin or a lead retriever to use this feature.
Attendees who are not yet checked in can be added as a lead through scanning or manually adding them.
An attendee can only be added once per booth.
Scanning the QR code through My Booth does not check in the attendees to the event.
Please ensure you install the latest app version to see the latest updates.
Steps to Capture Leads through QR code
The first step is for the attendee to locate their QR code, which exhibitors will scan. After scanning, the attendee's name, email, and phone number will appear. Then, the exhibitor can add more information before saving the lead.
1. Find the QR code in the app
After logging in to the attendee app, attendees will be on the My Events page, where they can see a list of all the events to which they have tickets. They need to click the Ticket icon of the event, and it will then show their QR code along with their ticket details.
Note: Attendees can also find the QR code through their profile once inside the event in the attendee app, in the PDF attachment in the order confirmation email, and the My Tickets tab when logged in to the account.
2. Scan the QR code through the app
Exhibitors must be logged in to the attendee app to scan the QR code and input the lead's information.
Log in to the app
Enter the event
Click the profile icon in the upper right corner
Select the My Booth tab
Click Add Lead By QR Code. This will open the mobile camera
Scan the attendee's QR code using the mobile camera
After scanning, the attendee's name, email, and phone number are populated.
Enter the other information given by the lead in the note field.
Click Save.
What Happens When You Scan an Existing Lead?
Their profile will still populate, and when you try to save, you will get an error notification "exhibitor already exists" We are improving this message and behavior to ensure there is no confusion.
If the attendee does not provide their QR code, exhibitors can manually enter the information. From the My Booth tab, select Add Lead Manually.
3. View the Leads List and Download
Click the Leads List from the My Booth tab to see if the leads are saved. From here you can the edit the lead information. You can download the leads list on your phone or computer during the event.
The Attendee App has an Offline Mode that lets you gather leads even if you encounter internet connection issues. Leads are automatically added when you're back online, ensuring no leads are missed.
