Grow your Sendlane list at pop-ups and live events.
Pop-up shops, markets, sampling tables, and brand events: people scan a QR code or text a keyword, reply with their email, and join your Sendlane list before they walk away.

Event sign-ups that make it into Sendlane
A clipboard has to be typed up later, and a web form on a phone loses people before they tap submit. With Textiful, the whole sign-up happens in a text.
Online brands, in person
Turn foot traffic at a pop-up or market into email subscribers your Sendlane automations can welcome.
A keyword or a QR code
Say “text DEMO to 33777” from the front of the room, or put a QR code where people can scan it. Either one starts your capture flow.
Give them a reason to sign up
Send your slides, a guide, or a discount in the same flow with handouts.

Questions people ask
Yes. Each Zap watches one flow, so give each event its own flow and Zap. Tag each subscriber with the event or pop-up.
No. The short codes 33777 and 55444 work in the US only, and QR codes text those same numbers, so Textiful is for audiences in the US.
