Exhibitor Lead Retrieval and Attendee Blast FAQs

Lead Retrieval by Maritz

Lead retrieval is a service exhibitors can purchase to scan badges onsite at SHOT Show to get their booth visitors profile and demographic information.

Yes. You must purchase a Maritz lead retrieval option listed below to get any information on the attendees.

Maritz lead retrieval services offer different options for SHOT Show exhibitors to choose from, based on your exhibit booth’s needs.

  1. SWAP Mobile Application
    The SWAP mobile app can be used on your own mobile device (iOS or Android) and is a popular option among exhibitors due to ease of use and not having to pick up/return a rental device.
  2. Handheld Scanner
    The Maritz Handheld Scanner is a rental device that offers high speed scanning for your exhibit booth.
  3. Tablet Scanner
    The Tablet Scanner is a rental device with a 7” Android tablet screen for those who may desire a larger screen for typing notes or custom qualifiers.
  4. Developer’s Kit – API Key
    The Developer’s Kit allows exhibitors to use their own badge scanning application via API Key. There is a charge for the API.

The SWAP app by Maritz can be purchased for as low as $579 in advance. Some members of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the owners of the SHOT Show, may get a free activation.

There are some different ways to order lead retrieval services from Maritz:

  1. Order Online: https://exhibitor.swap.mge360.com/
    If your company has a voucher code, place your order as usual and input the voucher code on the final page of checkout.
    Note: Your company’s exhibit booth may only have specific individual(s) assigned login credentials to access your company’s exhibitor portal. Please use the “Need Assistance” button on the login page for help.
  2. Order Form: Submit your completed order form to exhibitorservices@maritz.com
  3. Order Onsite: Maritz lead retrieval services will be available to assist exhibitors onsite with new and existing lead retrieval orders at the locations listed above in the previous question.
  4. Contact Us: exhibitorservices@maritz.com

No, you must purchase the app or equipment from Maritz in order to get the information of your visitors. We recommend buying lead retrieval earlier to save money, though if you get onsite and start taking pictures, you can manually add badge information to your Maritz lead retrieval purchase.

Approximately 2–4 weeks prior to show opening, every exhibiting company with a SWAP lead retrieval order is issued a 16-digit activation code. If your exhibiting company places an order for SWAP during or after this time you will receive your 16-digit activation code at the time your order is placed. Your booth’s activation code, along with your individual exhibitor badge ID number (or registration confirmation number), is needed to activate the SWAP mobile application.

The activation code is sent within an e-mail titled “SWAP Activation Documents” to your booth’s primary contact or person who placed the order. This e-mail can be forwarded to the booth staff who will be using SWAP as it includes all the information needed to download and activate the SWAP mobile app.

Please note: SWAP activation codes can only be used by registered exhibit staff from the same registered exhibit company, they cannot be shared among separate companies.

If you need your activation code and instructions, please contact exhibitorservices@maritz.com or visit your Maritz lead retrieval service desk onsite.

You may search your mobile device’s app store for “SWAP by Maritz” or use the camera on your mobile device to scan the respective QR code for your device below:

Reach Email Marketing by Maritz

Reach is an email marketing offering provided by Maritz. Reach allows you to send email campaigns to all SHOT Show attendees or a targeted list of SHOT Show attendees.

Pre-show email marketing is a great way to let attendees know you will be exhibiting and where you will be located.

During the show, sending a quick email to attendees to remind them to stop by, and post-show is great to offer promotions and connect with attendees you may have missed on the show floor. The portal is not ready until after mid-November due to the majority of SHOT Show attendees registering closer to the start of SHOT Show.

Demographic selections for targeted lists are available on page 3 of the order form – and range from Field of Work to Product of Interest and Purchasing Authority.

SHOT Show and Maritz do not provide an attendee list or contact list due to privacy polices. If you would like to reach out to attendees prior or during the show you may do so through a REACH email blast through Maritz. This is a blind email blast service and does not provide a list or contact information.

Yes, Maritz provides full-service assistance helping to ensure success in reaching out to your buyers.

The cost is as low as $375 for 1000 emails. Email Maci Loughery at maci.loughery@maritz.com for assistance and more information.

SHOT Show does not give out exhibitors’ information due to General Data Protection Regulation.
