Why and What? [Before Reading More]
What? – This guide helps you understand how to Offer Exhibitors Tracking Onsite by leveraging Hopin Onsite’s Lead Retrieval functionality. Hopin Onsite is a paid add-on offered at Growth plans and up. Please contact your AE if you are looking to add the functionality.
Why would I use it?
- Providing Exhibitor Direct Access to ROI
- Upselling Exhibitors for Lead Management
- Simplify Attendee Interactions with a Scan
Lead Retrieval Licenses are sold Per Booth, NOT Per Staff Member – Lead Retrieval requires one (1) license per booth, but a booth can have as many staff members as the organizer requires. Most companies that offer these features charge per staff member which can mean significantly higher costs, but Hopin does not. The only additional cost for each booth staff member is a credit to login as an attendee which they need to attend the event in general.
How to Buy Licenses – Please contact your Hopin AE to obtain a quote.
