New Cell Phone-Based Technology Enhances Exhibitor Marketing

Snipp, a new company founded in 2007, is looking to make a mark in the meetings and tradeshow industry by changing the way exhibitors and attendees go about doing business at tradeshows and conferences. In April, Snipp launched their cell phone-based technology, which offers a unique marketing tool for exhibitors and advertisers wishing to facilitate the distribution of their product and improve their lead generation capabilities. Co-founder Atul Sabharwal says, "In an ideal world, an attendee should be able to walk into your booth and get in touch with the right person on their terms, without having to carry all this paper, without even having to exchange business cards. Snipp puts the power in the hand of the attendee for the first time in the most simple and efficient manner." Click here for more information.
