Digital business card for trade show exhibitors Three days. Four hundred conversations.
A free card for the stand: visitors scan it at a trade show, save you, and can send their details back.
Free forever · No card details · About a minute

Example of what happens next: Owen Price scans Rosa’s card, saves Rosa to their contacts and chooses to send their own details back. The next morning at 09:00, Cardr Pro reminds Rosa to follow up, with the email already drafted.
The buyer from day two is a row in a scanner export nobody opened. With Cardr, visitors scan your code, save you with nothing to install, and can send their name and email or number back. Your note goes on their name, and Pro drafts the follow-ups while the show is still on.
One scan. You’re in their phone. They can send theirs.

Example
The stand, hour six, day two.
The stand
- Rented scanner
- Bad wifi
- Nobody remembers
The badge scanner is rented, the wifi is oversubscribed, and nobody on the stand can remember anything.
- Rented scanner. The badge scanner belongs to the venue, and so does the data, until somebody exports it for you.
- Bad wifi. Two thousand phones on one mast. Anything that has to load, does not.
- Nobody remembers. By day two the stand team cannot tell you which of four hundred conversations was the one worth having.
Each constraint decides the format. A card that fails any one of the three does not get used a second time, however good it looks.

- Edit once, it updates
- Conferences · Up to 2,000
- One scan, no app
- Opens with no signal
A badge scanner captures a name and a company and nothing about the conversation. Two weeks later you have four hundred identical rows, no way to tell the buyer from the person who wanted a tote bag, and one email for all of them.
What converts a show lead is the sentence they said on the stand. Capturing it has to take three seconds, on the phone in your hand, with the next visitor waiting.
Then the wifi. A hall is a steel box with thousands of phones in it. Your Wallet pass opens with no signal because it is stored on your phone. The visitor needs one bar to open your page.
Nothing for them to download.

- Reminded on day 3 or the morning after you meet, your choice, or on the day they said. One more nudge on day 7 if they are still waiting.

Will it work when the hall wifi fails?
Your pass opens offline because it lives on your phone. If the visitor has no signal either, open cardr.co/me/code and switch to No signal: that code holds your contact itself, so their camera saves you. They can send their details from your page once online.
Does the visitor need an app?
No. Your QR code opens your card as a web page on their phone, iPhone or Android, and they save you to their contacts from there. Nobody downloads an app or creates an account.
Can the whole stand team use it?
Yes, with Cardr Teams: one console puts the company brand on every card and pass, with a 30-day trial and no card to start. Leads are not pooled: each person keeps their own list and exports it to CSV.
Does it replace a badge scanner?
Partly. A scanner reads the organiser’s badge data, which Cardr cannot see. Cardr gets the details the visitor chooses to send you, plus your note on the conversation, with no hardware to rent. Some stands run both.
NFC or QR code at an event?
QR works with every phone camera and costs nothing. An NFC card pointed at your cardr.co link works too, but a code on your pass is enough for a stand.
What does it cost?
Free forever, no card details: your card, page and Apple Wallet pass, the two-way exchange, and every contact with notes, search and export. Pro, £12 a month or £108 a year (£9 a month), adds follow-ups drafted from your notes, reminders and all 16 pass designs. 7 days free, then 30 days to change your mind.
Free forever. About a minute to build.
Nothing for the other person to install, and no card details to start.
