Every one of those conversations is a lead — if you capture it before the visitor walks to the next booth.

The challenge

What goes wrong at the booth

01

You run out of cards on day one

Print runs are guessed weeks in advance. Too few and you run out; too many and the rest go in the bin after the show.

02

Badge scans lack context

A scanned badge tells you who visited, not what they wanted. Notes scribbled on the back of cards are hard to read later.

03

Follow-up starts too late

By the time contacts are typed up after the show, the visitor has spoken to ten other exhibitors.

04

No proof the event paid off

Without numbers, it's hard to show which event, day or team member generated real conversations.

How Cardly.ae helps

Made for the booth

Tap, save, done

Visitors tap your NFC card or scan your QR code and save your contact to their phone in seconds — no app needed.

Lead form with consent

Visitors share their name, company, email or phone and a note. Consent is recorded with every lead.

Instant email alerts

New leads are emailed to the card owner as they arrive, so a teammate can start the follow-up during the show. Alert emails pause once you pass 20 leads in 24 hours across all your cards; every lead is still saved in the inbox.

See which days worked

Track views, button taps and leads by day, and see whether views came from NFC, QR or a link, to measure each event.

Arabic and English

International and local visitors read your card in their language, switched with one tap.

QR for banners and screens

Put your card's QR code on the booth backdrop, screens and brochures for visitors who prefer scanning.

PVC NFC card

AED 99one-time

PVC NFC cards (AED 99) for every staff member: tough enough for a week of handshakes and quick to hand over. If one person orders for the whole stand, contact our sales team with the order and we link each card to the right person's profile.

AED 49one-time

Add an NFC sticker (AED 49) to your counter or demo unit so visitors can tap even when staff are busy.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work without Wi-Fi at the venue?

The visitor's phone needs mobile data or Wi-Fi to open your card, as with any website. UAE venues generally have strong mobile coverage; keep your QR code visible as a backup.

Do visitors need to install anything?

No. Tapping the NFC card or scanning the QR code opens your card in the phone's browser. Saving your contact uses the phone's built-in contacts app.

How fast can we get cards before an event?

Cards are made to order and dispatched within 1–3 working days. After dispatch, Standard UAE delivery takes 2–4 working days (AED 20), and Express delivery arrives the next working day in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi (AED 35). Standard delivery is free on orders of AED 199 or more. Order early before big shows.

Can we use one card for the whole booth?

Yes. A company card on an NFC sticker works well on a counter. For follow-up, individual staff cards help visitors remember who they spoke to. Planning a stand at GITEX? See our GITEX exhibitor lead-capture guide.

Is lead capture compliant with privacy rules?

Visitors must tick a consent box before submitting, and the consent is stored with the lead. Only collect what you need, and use it for the follow-up you promised.
