Create Banner Ads on your Content Pages

We’re thrilled to introduce a new feature that enables you to showcase ads at the top of event pages. This enhancement offers similar options to our current Home Ad feature but provides a more prominent way to capture your audience’s attention, giving you greater opportunities to enhance your monetization strategy!

The Ads banners feature is designed to be simple and easy to use:

From the Studio, select "Sponsors & Advertising" under "Event Builder" 

There is a new section "Content pages' ads" and simply click on "Create an ad" to create your first ad. 

From the creation modal, you can:

-> Select a banner image for web and mobile 

-> Select a redirection to an Exhibitor's page, or an external URL or choose to not have any redirection

-> Select one or multiple content pages on which your ad should appear 

-> Select groups that should be targeted 

Once every mandatory field is complete, click on "Create an ad" to save and publish your ad.

On the "Sponsors and Advertising" main page you can keep track of your ads and see how effective they are by checking at a glance the number of views and clicks for each ad. 

With this new feature, you’ll be able to create ad banners that appear in the Content Views of your event page. This will ensure that your ads are seen by all the attendees, and will give you the opportunity to reach out to a larger audience. 

After your event, you will also be able to download the report to get a full detailed list of people who have seen or clicked on the advertisement banners from the Analytics page on Studio. 



To start using this feature on your event, please contact your account manager for more pricing information.

Enhancement: New "No link" Option For Home Page Advertising

We are pleased to announce a nice improvement to our advertising feature: the addition of a new “No link” option for home page ads.

We understand that not all advertisers want their ads to link to an external URL or an Exhibitor's page. With our new “No link” option, advertisers can now create home page ads without linking to another page. This feature allows for the creation of more visually engaging ads that can still be targeted to the right audience.

We are committed to making our advertising products better and easier to use. The addition of the “No link” option is the latest in a series of improvements to our ads. We will continue to improve our products and find ways to make them even more useful.

Enhancing Visitor Engagement and Lead Generation: Introducing Automated QR Code Generation for Exhibitor Booths

Previously, Swapcard introduced a feature to boost visitor engagement with exhibitors during on-site events. This feature utilizes QR codes, which exhibitors can conveniently place at their booths, in their social media communication, or even in their email signatures. 

On-site visitors can scan these QR codes using their phone's camera, any QR code scanner, or the scanning feature within Swapcard or the branded app. Once scanned, visitors are seamlessly redirected to the exhibitor's virtual booth, with the included benefit of automatically adding the company to their 'favorites' list.

Both exhibitors and organizers can access information to see who has scanned the QR codes on-site. These details can be found in the reports section, either directly in the Studio or the Exhibitor Center.

Previously, organizers manually generated QR codes for exhibitor virtual booths. However, the new feature simplifies and streamlines this process by automatically generating QR codes. Exhibitors can conveniently access this feature directly from the Exhibitor Center, with the added option to customize the QR code according to their branding.

---


Organizers retain complete control over this feature and can manage it at both the group and individual exhibitor levels through the Studio.

At the group level

  • Click on “Group and permissions” for your event
  • Edit “Exhibitors” group
  • Click on the “Lead generation” tab
  • Allow to download QR code is now available 

At the exhibitor level

  • Go to Content → Exhibitors
  • Choose the exhibitor
  • Click on the “Settings” tab
  • Allow to download QR code is now available 

The automated QR code generation feature by Swapcard revolutionizes visitor engagement and drives more leads to exhibitors. 

Exhibitors can effortlessly drive interactions by placing QR codes at their booths, enabling visitors to scan and instantly access their virtual booth. With seamless integration into Swapcard or the branded app, or through web mobile browsers, visitors can explore company details and products, initiate chats, request meetings, and add favorites. By leveraging this user-friendly feature, exhibitors can maximize engagement, boost brand visibility, and optimize lead generation, gaining a significant advantage at events.
