Optimizing your booth with QR codes: a quick guide

Learn how to use QR codes to enhance your exhibitor booth, streamline visitor engagement, and maximize lead generation at events.

Updated over 3 months ago

QR codes are essential for exhibitors' booths as they provide an easy way for attendees to access digital content, gather information, and engage with your brand. By using QR codes, you can streamline the exchange of contact details, share promotional materials, and track visitor interactions effectively. This guide explains how to integrate QR codes into your booth setup for maximum impact.

Understanding QR codes for Exhibitors

On-site visitors can scan these QR codes using their phone's camera, any QR code scanner, or the scanning feature within Swapcard or the branded app. Once scanned, visitors are seamlessly redirected to the exhibitor's virtual booth, with the included benefit of automatically adding the company to their 'favorites' list.

Both you and organizers can access information to see who has scanned the QR codes on-site. These details can be found in the reports section, either directly in the Studio or the Exhibitor Center.


Why should you use QR codes at your booth?

Incorporating QR codes into your booth setup offers numerous advantages that can significantly enhance your event success:

  • Effortless engagement: Attendees can instantly access your virtual booth with a simple scan, where they can explore company details, chat with your team, request meetings, and add your company to their favorites.

  • Boost brand visibility: QR codes help increase your brand’s presence at events, making it easy for visitors to engage with your content and remember your booth long after the event ends.

  • Track visitor interactions: QR codes provide valuable data on who visited your booth, enabling you to analyze visitor behavior and refine your strategy to improve future engagement.

  • Optimize lead generation: By driving more visitors to your virtual booth, QR codes help capture more leads, allowing you to follow up with interested attendees and convert them into customers.

Leveraging QR codes transforms your booth into an interactive, data-driven experience that maximizes engagement, enhances brand visibility, and boosts lead generation.
