Do exhibitors need their own login?

Not for the basic stamp flow — attendees scan the booth QR directly. If you want exhibitors to see their own booth analytics, StampRise offers exhibitor accounts.

Can we prevent attendees from gaming the system?

Each scan is timestamped and tied to the attendee's session. Organisers can review unusual patterns and disqualify entries before prize redemption.

What if an attendee doesn't have a phone?

Most attendees do, but for accessibility you can also offer a kiosk station at registration that lets staff record stamps on the visitor's behalf.

Use case

Digital Stamp Cards for Trade Shows

Trade show exhibitors invest heavily in booths and expect traffic in return. A digital stamp card creates a structured incentive for attendees to visit every exhibitor — particularly the ones tucked into back corners or on the second floor.

Why this works

Why event teams use digital stamp cards for Trade Shows

Trade show organisers use StampRise when they want to lift booth traffic across the floor, give exhibitors a credible ROI story, and replace clipboard-driven passport games with something that runs itself.

Lift visits to all booths, not just headline exhibitors.
Give every exhibitor a unique stamp count for ROI conversations.
Reduce queues at a central passport stamping desk.
Track in real time which booths are pulling traffic and which need help.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Most trade show organisers can have a working card live in about an hour, including station setup, QR generation, and prize rules. Larger shows take longer mostly because of exhibitor coordination.
