10. Welcome more visitors to your booth by using the Invitation Service
No business cards and everything in a digital overview! Easyfairs has developed the Smart Badge reader and Visit Connect specifically to capture leads in a sustainable and efficient way during an event.
We offer 2 digital options to capture visitor information instantly. The Smart Badge reader and Visit Connect are designs to easily capture visitor information.

11. Increase the number of leads by making maximum use of Smart Badge technology
During the event, you digitally collected leads with the Smart Badge reader and Visit Connect. Of course you would like to follow up on these leads. In this video we show you how you can easily receive, download and follow up your leads.
During the dismantling, our team will come and collect the pole with your Smart Badge reader from you. After collection, they will read the reader and prepare the lead list for you online.
12. Qualify your leads with Visit Connect
The leads from Visit Connect are visible to you directly in the Visit Connect Web browser.
The leads from the Smart Badge reader you will only get after the event when the reader is returned.
You will then receive an email from us in which you can download your leads in the My Easyfairs environment.
13. Why do you need two lead generation tools?
The use of the Smart Badge reader is initiated by the visitor. This is because the visitor decides whether or not to hold their Smart Badge against the reader. Visit Connect is initiated by the exhibitor. During a conversation, you can determine if the visitor could be a potential customer. You can then scan the Smart Badge with Visit Connect.
14. Checklist and important deadlines
The deadlines will be announced in mid-April 2024.
