Paper registers and business cards feel simple, but their real cost shows up after the show. A side-by-side comparison of paper and digital lead capture for exhibitors, with a switching plan.
How QR code lead capture works at an exhibition stall, what to put behind the code, where to place it, and a pre-show testing checklist so no visitor scans a broken link.
