NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bartizan’s first-of-its-kind iPhone App for tradeshow lead retrieval debuted in April and has already had a quantifiable, industry – wide impact. Unlike traditional badge scanner lead retrieval equipment that uses barcode technology, iLeads runs on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. This breakthrough to existing lead retrieval systems makes it easy to add notes, surveys, photos and qualifiers to leads collected at trade shows, making the leads more valuable for sales. iLeads does not require a bar-coded badge, saving time and money and eliminating common barcode terminal complications.
“The iLeads app has had a huge impact on trade shows”
Bartizan debuted iLeads to trade show exhibitors with resounding success at the 5th International Cloud Expo in NYC. An unprecedented 90 percent of Cloud Expo’s exhibitors utilized the lead retrieval mobile app to collect their leads. Typical lead retrieval system use is low, hovering around 30 percent. This significant boost in exhibitor adoption to 90 percent illustrates the excitement and interest from show organizers and exhibitors for the latest and very best in mobile lead retrieval.
To capture an attendee’s data, users simply enter the unique number printed on each badge – and the record is quickly and easily captured. Exhibitors can then add a note to the lead, select a qualifier or answer a survey question. All leads are immediately uploaded to LeadsLightning.com, a powerful and secure web-based show reporting software, which allows users to identify the best leads in minutes.
“The iLeads app has had a huge impact on trade shows,” said Elizabeth Mazei, executive vice president & COO, Bartizan Connects. “At Bartizan, our research and customer surveys tell us that most exhibitors, when using traditional lead retrieval terminals, fail to enhance their leads by adding information, such as qualifiers and notes. With the introduction of iLeads this past April, a much different picture emerged. More than half of all leads now contain notes and qualifiers. At our very first iLeads event, nearly 80 percent of the leads gathered had notes attached to them. In the trade show business, that’s a game changer.”
To download the iLeads iPhone app, users of Apple’s iPhone, iPod touch and iPad may go to the Apple App Store within iTunes and search for ‘iLeads.’ To test the app and see how easy iLeads is to use, simply launch the app and enter event access code 1006. Then click on the event and enter test badge number 8188.
