How to collect emails at a trade show booth without a badge scanner
To collect emails at a trade show booth without a badge scanner, put a QR code on your booth sign that opens a text to a Textiful short code. The visitor taps send, answers one or two questions by text, and their details go to your email tool while a notification reaches the rep who owns the follow-up.
ReadHow to get audience emails after a keynote
To get audience emails after a keynote, give the room one concrete instruction from the stage: text a keyword to 33777 or scan the QR code on your slide to get something you promised. Textiful asks for their email by text, sends what you offered, and adds them to Mailchimp, Kit, or ActiveCampaign.
ReadHow to get fan emails at shows
The simplest way to get fan emails at shows is to say a keyword from the stage, like "text TOUR to 33777," and put a QR code on the merch table. Textiful asks each fan for their email and zip code by text, sends what you promised, and adds them to your Mailchimp, Kit, or ActiveCampaign list with their city filled in.
ReadHow to get first-time visitor information at church
To get first time visitor information at church, invite guests during the welcome to text a keyword like WELCOME to 33777 or scan the QR code in the bulletin. Textiful asks for their name and email one question at a time, tags them as a first-time guest, and emails your welcome team as soon as they finish.
ReadHow to run a live poll without an app download
To run a live poll without an app download, have the audience vote by text: they text your keyword to 33777 or scan a QR code, then reply with a letter. Textiful counts the votes, forgives one-letter typos, and shows live results on a public page you can project.
ReadHow to send slides to your audience after a presentation
The cleanest way to send slides to your audience after a presentation is to tell them at the start that they'll get the deck, then end with one instruction: scan this QR code or text DEMO to 33777. Textiful asks for their email and sends the deck as a tracked download link the moment they finish, and the address lands in Mailchimp, Kit, or ActiveCampaign.
ReadHow to use a QR code to collect emails
To use a QR code to collect emails, point the code at a text conversation instead of a web form. With Textiful, scanning opens the phone's texting app with a message already written; the person taps send, replies with their email, and is added to your Mailchimp, Kit, or ActiveCampaign list. QR codes are free and unlimited on every plan.
ReadWhat's a good alternative to paper sign-up sheets?
A practical alternative to paper sign up sheets is a QR code or keyword people text from their own phone. Textiful asks for their email by text, checks that it looks like an email before moving on, and adds the contact straight to Mailchimp, Kit, or ActiveCampaign, so nobody types anything in afterward.
