Main Street Merchants Stamp Tour

As a thank-you to everyone who shops local on Main Street, we are running a digital stamp tour with a sweepstakes for a great prize.

Visit participating shops, collect stamps, and enter to win.

What you can try in this demo

• Email sign-in — Shoppers sign in with an email address, so their stamps carry over to a new phone and duplicate sweepstakes entries are prevented.
• Entry form — Once they have enough stamps, shoppers enter the sweepstakes from a form that collects the shipping details, so the prize can be sent straight to the winner.
• Survey — Ask how shoppers got downtown and where they usually shop before they enter, and use the answers for merchant planning.

Where it fits

• Foot traffic into side-street shops — Place stamp spots not only on the main drag but in side-street shops that get less traffic, and shoppers cover the whole district.
• First visits to unfamiliar shops — Collecting stamps gives shoppers a reason to step into a store they never tried, and some become regulars.
• Tied to market days and local festivals — Run it during a farmers market or a downtown festival to multiply the draw.
• Stamps tied to purchases — Put the QR code at the register and mention it to buyers, and participation connects directly to sales.

How it runs

No app install, just a quick email sign-in, so shoppers of every age can take part.

Each shop only needs a printed QR code, so merchants have almost nothing to prepare.

Unlike paper stamp cards, there is nothing to print, hand out, or collect, and everything from joining to entering the sweepstakes happens on one phone.
