Bartizan’s iLeads Mobile App Now Available on Apple iPad

New iPad Platform Offers Exhibitors First-Of-Its-Kind Lead Retrieval For Collecting Leads at Tradeshows.

Bartizan Connects is pleased to announce that iLeads, the new iPhone and iPod touch App for tradeshow lead retrieval, is now available for Apple’s iPad.

The iPad’s touch screen, advanced capabilities, vivid LED-backlit IPS display and expansive onscreen keyboard are perfect as a self-service kiosk for lead retrieval, surveys and product demos. Exhibitors will find that the iPad enhances their trade show experience. Certainly for shows over the next few months exhibitors will attract attention just by having an iPad running iLeads in their booth.

iLeads is a totally new way to collect and manage tradeshow leads. It is cost effective and easy to use. To start, iLeads offers substantially lower operating costs for show managers – no shipping, on-site techs, electrical hook ups or training, and equipment maintenance costs are eliminated. iLeads does not require a bar-coded badge, saving time and money for organizers and eliminating common barcode complications. iLeads requires only a simple number to be placed on attendee badges. At the end of the show, there is no need for equipment pick-up and return and there are never too few or too many terminals available to exhibitors.

“Apple’s superior interface works for off-the-floor lead capture – and follow-up is enhanced by iPad’s capabilities. Since no on-site technical support staff is needed, iLeads is a better solution for shows with no budget for lead retrieval,” said Lew Hoff, president, Bartizan Connects.

On April 3, 2010, Apple launched the iPad, providing consumers and businesses a new platform to stay connected and informed. With iPad’s web browsing capabilities, exhibitors using iLeads may follow up instantly with tradeshow leads they’ve gathered with a text, email or phone call – and send updates right from the trade show floor back to headquarters, customers and prospects. Exhibitors may also check out lead profiles on Google, LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.

“iLeads takes the hassle out of lead retrieval. Download the free iLeads app now from iTunes and try the demo version,” said Elizabeth Mazei, executive vice president & COO, Bartizan Connects. “If you’re an exhibitor and your shows don't offer iLeads, send us the name of the event and the name of the show organizer to our rapid-response iLeads email: wewantileads@bartizan.com. We will let the organizer know of your interest.”

According to Mazei, the benefits go beyond efficiency. “With the introduction of this app, we have made lead retrieval more cost effective, easier to use…even fun.”

To download the iLeads iPhone App, go to the Apple App Store within iTunes and search for 'iLeads'. To test and see how easy it is to use: simply launch the App and enter event access code: 1006, click on the event, then enter test badge number: 8188.

iLeads offers substantially lower operating costs for show managers – no shipping, no on-site techs, no training, and equipment maintenance costs are eliminated. Some event organizers do not offer lead retrieval because of the complexity and cost involved in producing 2-D bar code badges. iLeads does not require a bar-coded badge, saving time and money for organizers and eliminating common barcode complications. iLeads requires only a simple number to be placed on attendee badges.

There are other benefits - terminal availability is not an issue. There are never too many terminals on hand, never too few. Even if an exhibitor decides at the last moment to use lead retrieval, he can purchase an iPod Touch for about $200 at a local electronics retailer.

iLeads Lead Retrieval App Debuts New Icon

iLeads is the trade show industry’s first lead retrieval app, it's super easy to use and it will be available nationwide at events starting April 1st. Bartizan Connects is actively introducing iLeads to show organizers and getting an enthusiastic response. They expect it to become the trade show standard. iLeads Lead Retrieval app is expected to be released in April.

The icon for this app was created by app-bits.

The icon's concept is based on the most common way (and least effective) of collecting leads, the old fashioned fishbowl. Lead retrieval is like an electronic fishbowl.

After a few concepts and iterations, and some real care gone into the glass effect on the bowl, the icon above was produced.

Apple is on a Roll

It used to be said that it was Sinatra's world - the rest of us just live in it. Now it seems that it is Steve Jobs' world - and the rest of us just live in it. As I write this, the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT is less than an hour away. Will it meet our sky-high expectations? For example, look at Fast Company's prognostication here.

If it (whatever "it" is that will be presented) is compatible with the iPhone and iPod touch, "it" will become part of Bartizan's iLeads lineup. Stay tuned.

Yes, Apple is on a roll. Record Mac sales. Record iPhone sales. Record iPod Touch sales. The iPod Touch is kind a stealth product. Lots of people don't know why Bartizan views the Touch, rather than the iPhone, as the preferred iLeads platform. Here's why: It does almost everything that the iPhone does, requires no wireless contract with AT&T or anyone else and costs just 200 bucks. Tough to beat!

An example of why the Touch is so terrific: My wife is a total technophobe. She has never so much as turned on a computer, let alone sent an email message. She has been a regular patron of Play-by-Play, an outfit that peddles discount tickets to Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. In December Play-by Play informed her that it was discontinuing phone service. Starting January 1 she would have to order tickets online. She panicked. What if she could not reach me to ask (order?) me to go online to purchase her tickets? What would she do? The solution? An iPod Touch on which I added the Play-by-Play site to the homepage. When my wife discovered how easy it was to use Play-by-Play on the Touch, she was elated.
