8. Time to follow up on leads
After the event it’s time to contact all the people who wanted to know more about your company and your products.
9. Provide more visibility by optimizing your company profile
Your participation starts before the event has started. Complete your profile on My Easyfairs to give visitors the opportunity to get to know your company.

10. Welcome more visitors to your stand by using the Invitation Service
Without business cards and everything in a digital overview! Easyfairs has specially developed the Smart Badge Reader and Visit Connect to capture leads during an event in a sustainable and efficient way.
We offer 2 digital options to directly record visitor information. The Smart Badge Reader and Visit Connect are designed to easily capture visitor information.
Easygo is a service package based on the latest developments in digital marketing technology.
It’s part of Easyfairs’ standard offering, but you can choose one of three packages that best suits your goals.
Visit Connect is an online environment that you can open on your smartphone or tablet. With Visit Connect you can easily collect information from visitors to your stand. By scanning the visitor badge with the tool, you will receive all the data you need for lead follow-up.
- Do I know how many Smart Badge readers are in my package?
- Have I placed my Smart Badge reader conspicuously on the stand
- Have I informed my employees about the operation of the reader?

11. Increase the number of leads by making maximum use of Smart Badge technology
Where can I hand in my Smart Badge reader?
On the last day of the fair our team will be happy to collect your Smart Badge Reader from you about an hour before the fair ends. Would you like to leave it there for a while? Then you can hand it in yourself at the exhibitor desk at the end of the fair.
12. Qualify your leads with Visit Connect
The leads from Visit Connect are immediately visible to you in the Visit Connect App. You will only receive the leads from the Smart Badge Reader after the fair when the reader has been 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. The visitor decides whether or not to hold his Smart Badge against the reader. Visit Connect is initiated by the exhibitor. During a conversation you can decide for yourself whether the visitor can be a potential customer. You can then scan the Smart Badge with Visit Connect.
