THE MOMENT PEOPLE MOVE
Trade Show Engagement Software That Encourages Booth Visits
StampRise encourages booth visits at trade shows with a QR-based Digital Event Passport. Visitors scan a code at each participating exhibitor, complete a quick activity, see their progress and earn rewards when they reach the completion target. Organisers track scans per booth in real time.

A live passport for trade shows
Scan. Explore. Unlock what is next.
The organiser read
Exhibitors pay for a stand and want people to stop at it. A Passport gives visitors a practical reason to walk the whole floor, including the booths away from the main aisle. Trade show organisers use StampRise to replace paper passport cards, give every participating exhibitor an assigned place on the route, and get booth-level participation data without a separate app.
The participant journey
Make the next step obvious.
This is not another event brochure. It is a living route through trade shows, with progress, rewards, and useful signals built in.

01 / The proposition
A simple reason to stop at more booths
Visitors are offered a reward for collecting a set number of stamps. Each stamp comes from scanning a code at a participating booth. That gives visitors a clear, practical reason to move through the floor plan, and gives exhibitors a prompt to start a conversation.
- One QR code per participating booth.
- Optional quiz or survey at selected booths.
- Staff-verified stamps where a conversation should come first.
02 / Completion
Set a target visitors can actually finish
A Passport that asks for every booth at a large show will be abandoned. Choose a number that fits typical dwell time and floor size, or group booths into zones so visitors pick a few from each area.
- Match the target to time on the floor.
- Use zones on large floor plans.
- Add tiered rewards for partial progress.
03 / Be accurate
Assigned opportunities, not guaranteed visits
Every participating exhibitor gets a place on the route and a fair chance to be visited. Not every visitor will reach every booth, and exhibitor traffic will still vary with location, offer and staffing. Present the Passport to exhibitors as a route and an incentive, not a promised number of visitors.
04 / Tracking
Booth-level tracking during the show
Review recorded stamps by station and participant progress to understand which activities are being completed. Check signage, staffing and activity duration before interpreting a quiet station as low interest.
- Recorded stamps per booth.
- Passport completion.
- Available activity responses.
- Permission-scoped exhibitor access.
05 / Evidence
What counts as qualified evidence
A public QR link can be shared, so a scan alone does not prove a physical visit. Use an appropriate staff-assisted activity when an interaction matters. Report the configured completion, and keep qualified conversations and sales outcomes separate in the exhibitor's own records.
06 / Compared with paper
Why not a paper passport card?
Paper cards are familiar and cheap, but they are lost, forged and counted by hand, and they produce no data until someone types them up. A QR Passport records progress as it happens and handles redemption digitally.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
StampRise gives visitors a Digital Event Passport with a reward for collecting stamps at participating booths. Progress is visible on their phone, which gives them a practical reason to keep moving through the floor.
No. Every participating exhibitor gets a place on the route, but traffic still depends on location, offer and how many stamps the Passport requires.
A small Passport with a handful of booths can be ready quickly. Larger shows take longer, mostly because of exhibitor coordination and printing.
Not for visitors to collect stamps. If you want exhibitors to see their own booth activity, StampRise offers exhibitor accounts.
Public QR links can be shared, so do not treat a scan as proof of location. Use supported staff-assisted activities when physical interaction matters, and test the workflow with the booth team.
Staff can help at a registration or help-desk station so the visitor can still take part.
