Over the years, we have written about trade show apps and why they are important for your trade show to be successful – they offer more interaction and quick data capture about your brand.
Our research has found 10 low-cost to no-cost apps. These are easy to set-up and use right away. Before you look into customized software, take a quick look at what’s already out there.
Scheduling
When I Work – With this free app, you can create and view personnel schedules, organize booth coverage, communicate with your team and make calendar requests.
TeamUp Calendar – A cloud-based app that’s free for small companies with only a few people on the team. As much as it is an organizer and calendar, it also keeps room bookings and customer meetings.
ShowGo Mobile – This is an easy-to-use software that is robust enough to handle all of the key trade show management tasks, which include budgets, reports, wizards and templates for planning.
Capturing Leads
Leadature – Available for both Android and iOS, this app scans badges and business cards, measures interactions and generates reports for Excel.
iLeads – This app allows exhibitors to track leads and follow up with them during and after the show. Uses QR code scanning or manual entry of event attendees.
CamCard Business – Quickly scan or exchange business cards with CamCard, rated 4.2 at Google Play Store. CamCard also has many other features to organize and collaborate with others.
CDS Xpress Connect – More like a trade show assistant than an app, CDS Xpress Connect has many of the same features as other card scanners with the addition of lead qualification and appointment scheduling. Plus, it’s free!
iCapture – Last but not least, iCapture scans trade show badges and business cards, too. It also syncs with your CRM and sends documents with only a couple clicks.
Surveys
QuickTapSurvey – Surveys are a great way to capture and qualify leads at your next trade show. This app also gathers valuable feedback from customers on your brand. The monthly cost is worth it if your company does three or more trade shows a year.
iSurvey – This app allows you to collect attendee data while offline. It also connects multiple devices to give real-time stats, all for less than $10 a month.
