Choosing The Right Lead Capture App for Your Trade Shows
Using electronic lead capture apps at trade shows on your exhibition stand is the best way of increasing productivity and sales from events.
But which one is best for you?
We've researched the top lead capture apps on the market right now, and summarised everything you need to know in our handy infographic to help you choose the right app for your next show.
Lead capture apps decrease the admin of manually sorting and sifting through paper lead generation forms and allows you to contact leads quicker after the event. This can increase the chance of converting leads into sales.
But finding the right lead capture app for your trade show can be tough.
Each have their perks and most come at a cost. So which is right for your needs?
We’ve made it easier by comparing eight suppliers of lead capture apps from across the web. We hope this will help to create your shortlist of suppliers to contact!

Google forms
As the completely free option, you’d expect that Google forms would come in with basic functionality.
Although requiring internet connection to function unlike most of the paid platforms, it does still provide a lot of functionality.
One con of using Google forms however, is that it doesn’t have an instant refresh after submitting data, which then means that the user has to make sure that the screen is refreshed before the next person enters data.
If you’re starting out however and can’t justify the cost of a paid platform, it’s great to use as a proof of principle for the need of a dedicated lead capture form.
