When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use right after an event when badge scan data lands in HubSpot as an imported list, since speed matters more here than for evergreen nurture tracks.
  • Use when the booth conversation was general interest rather than a scheduled meeting; scanned badges that already booked a meeting on-site should skip straight to sales, not this nurture.

Skip it

  • Do not use this for contacts who only stopped by for a giveaway with no real conversation, if the vendor's scan data can distinguish that. Filter those out at import if possible.
  • Do not treat this as a substitute for a same-day thank-you handled manually by the booth team for VIP contacts.
