Trade show lead capture

Trade show lead capture with a QR-code giveaway

RaffleBoost helps exhibitors collect booth leads, replace paper raffle slips, and run a professional live winner draw without renting hardware or cleaning up messy forms after the event.

Booth lead capture usually breaks in the follow-up

Most exhibitors can get visitors to stop. The harder part is collecting clean information while the booth is busy and making that data usable before the next week disappears.

Paper and business cards create cleanup work

Handwriting has to be interpreted, consent notes get separated from entries, and business cards rarely capture the question your sales team actually needs answered.

Generic forms feel disconnected

A plain form can collect data, but it often lacks the booth-friendly hook, prize context, branded entry experience, and live draw moment that make visitors want to participate.

How RaffleBoost works at a trade show booth

1

Create the raffle

Add your prize, booth messaging, logo, and the fields your team needs for follow-up.

2

Share the QR code

Place it on a counter sign, booth screen, badge insert, flyer, or product demo slide.

3

Collect entries

Visitors enter from their phone while your team keeps the conversation moving.

4

Run the draw

Use the draw page for a visible, fair-feeling winner announcement at the booth or after the event.

5

Export leads

Download the list and follow up while the conversations are still fresh.

Why use a giveaway for booth lead capture?

It gives visitors a clear next step

"Scan to enter" is easier to act on than "leave your information." The prize gives context, while the entry form keeps the data structured.

It supports natural booth conversations

Visitors can enter while a demo is wrapping up, while they wait for a rep, or after they take a brochure. Your team does not have to pause to decipher a clipboard.

It makes the draw feel professional

A live draw page is easier to show on a screen than a bowl of slips. It also gives sponsors and booth teams a cleaner moment to announce the winner.

It improves the handoff to sales

Add qualifying fields such as product interest, company size, event location, or preferred follow-up channel so the exported list is more useful than raw names.

Why not just use paper forms or Google Forms?

Need Manual approach RaffleBoost approach
Booth participation Ask people to fill out a form or drop a card. Invite them to scan and enter a prize draw.
Data quality Clean up handwriting, duplicates, and incomplete rows later. Collect typed entries and custom fields from the start.
Draw experience Manually pick a name from slips or a spreadsheet. Run a dedicated winner draw page for the audience.
Follow-up Wait until someone types or consolidates the list. Export the participant list when you are ready to follow up.

Trade show lead capture FAQ

How does a QR-code giveaway help with trade show lead capture?

It gives visitors a simple reason to scan, enter, and share their details from their own phone. The booth team gets structured entries instead of a pile of paper or business cards.

Can RaffleBoost replace paper raffle slips?

Yes. Visitors enter digitally, and your team can export the participant list rather than retyping paper slips after the show.

Can I use it with a badge scanner?

Yes. Many teams use a QR-code giveaway alongside other event tools to capture extra context, include non-badge visitors, or create a stronger booth interaction.

What should I ask on the entry form?

Keep it short. For trade shows, useful fields often include name, email, company, product interest, buying timeframe, and preferred follow-up method.
