Talli runs whisky, wine, beer and food tastings and consumer festivals. Guests register and carry their ticket on their phone, the door scans them in even without signal, and the brands at their tables scan guests in the Talli app to collect leads that follow each guest's own choice.

Common problems at a tasting or festival, and what Talli does about each one. ### Brands go home with a pile of business cards Booth staff scan each guest's ticket with the Talli app, rate how interested they were from 1 to 5 and add a note. Every phone at the table adds to the same list of leads. [Booth scanning](https://www.tallievents.com/docs/mobile/booth-scanning) ### Guests want to choose who gets their details You choose what brands learn: nothing, visit counts only, or the contacts of guests who agree. Guests opt in with an unticked box when they register and can stop sharing from their ticket at any time. [Lead sharing](https://www.tallievents.com/docs/exhibitors) ### There is no signal in the cellar or the hall The door and the brands' tables keep scanning with no connection. Every scan is saved on the phone and sent to Talli when it is back online, and each ticket still counts once. [Offline check-in and sync](https://www.tallievents.com/docs/mobile/offline-and-sync) ### A line builds up at the door Staff scan the QR code on each ticket with a phone and see at once whether the guest is in, already in or holding a ticket for another event. A ticket that will not scan can be typed or found by name. [Check-in](https://www.tallievents.com/docs/check-in) ### Guests cannot find their ticket email Guests open their ticket in the Talli app with their email and ticket code, without an account. The phone keeps the ticket, and its QR code still works at the door without signal. [Your ticket in the Talli app](https://www.tallievents.com/docs/mobile/visitor-ticket) ## How do brands collect leads at their tables? Exhibitors and their booth staff scan guests with the Talli app. Every scan counts as a visit to the table, and you decide what the brand sees about each guest. - Add each brand once to your brand library, add it to the event and give it a table on the floor plan. [Exhibitors](https://www.tallievents.com/docs/exhibitors) - Booth staff choose I'm at a booth in the app and sign in with a link emailed to the address you invited, with no password. - When a guest agreed to share, their name, organization and email show with a rating and a note. Otherwise the visit is counted without contact details. - The Leads tab lists every visit to the table from every phone that scans there, and the full list is also in the brand portal on the web. [Brand portal](https://www.tallievents.com/docs/brand-portal) - When a guest stops sharing, their name and email leave the brand's phones too. ![The Booth tab in the Talli app: visits to your booth today, contacts shared and counted only, the event's lead sharing setting, Scan a visitor and the latest visits.](https://www.tallievents.com/api/media/e34ff510-c8b3-4090-8e71-540d47c1ab8d/talli-iphone-15-booth-home-framed.webp) The Booth tab.

Seats are counted as people submit, and a waitlist takes over when the event is full.

No. Booth staff choose I'm at a booth in the Talli app and enter the email address you invited. Talli emails them a sign-in link that works once, and they stay signed in until they sign out or their access for the brand ends. ### What do brands learn about the guests they scan? It depends on the lead sharing setting you choose for the event: nothing, visit counts only, or the name, organization and email of guests who agreed to share them. Guests who did not agree are counted without contact details. ### Can a guest change their mind about sharing their contact? Yes. Guests can stop sharing or start again from their ticket at any time. When a guest stops sharing, their name and email are removed from the brands' lists, including on the booth phones. ### Do the door and the brands' tables work without signal? Yes. Scans are saved on the phone and sent to Talli when it is back online, and each ticket or visit counts once. A booth scan made offline shows the guest's contact only after it syncs and Talli has checked that the guest agreed to share. ### Do guests need the Talli app? No. Guests get their ticket with a QR code by email when they register, and the same QR code works from the email, the web ticket page or the Talli app. The app keeps the ticket on the phone for when there is no signal. ![An exhibitor showing a product sample to a visitor at a booth.](https://www.tallievents.com/api/media/38bb60c5-2422-484b-bd01-3bc8a5dd5146/an-exhibitor-showing-a-product-sample-to-a-visitor-at-a-trad.jpg) ## Run your next tasting on Talli See the door, the guest ticket and booth scanning on your own event, or sign in to start.
