Meraevents launches Digibroc, a tool to Revolutionize the process of brochure and catalog distribution

Events portal, Meraevents has recently launched Digibroc, an online platform for exhibiting and distributing information through printed brochures and catalogs, as per the user preferences.

It helps exhibitor to know the details of the visitors who sought access to digital brochure and follow up further based on the visitor interests.

Digibroc assigns each product brochure a QR code. When visitors or prospective users visit an exhibition stall, they scan the QR code of their desired product brochure and get the digital copy of brochure on their mobile devices. The visitor can also log in and view the brochures of other stalls in the exhibition he had visited. Digibroc analytics enables exhibitors to know the interest of the users. Just by a click, the exhibitors can know the interest of all the visitors.

Also, it has provided the benefit of sharing the brochures through social media. So the promotional level increases on a large scale, which eventually goes viral if a social media like Facebook is involved, ultimately benefiting the exhibitors.

MeraEvents.com is an event listing, promotion and ticketing platform known to offer smart solutions and customized marketing packages to event organizers.
