For malls, pop-up stores and retail districts

Turn one visit into many with a
QR point challenge

Shoppers join with one QR scan and no app download. A point challenge gives them a reason to come back during the campaign and turns brand activations into data you can use. Even a pop-up opening this week can launch the same day.

Problem

Busy on opening weekend, quiet the rest of the run?

Nobody comes back

The launch weekend is packed, then foot traffic falls off a cliff for the second half of the campaign.

Photos, but no purchases

Plenty of visitors snap a picture and leave. The brand experience never turns into a sale or a returning customer.

No data to show for it

You can't tell how many people came or what they responded to, so there's nothing to carry into the next activation.

Solution

Points give shoppers a reason to return

A point challenge lets shoppers check in at the same spot again and again. Every visit adds points, and bigger rewards unlock at higher totals, so coming back during the campaign is worth their while.

1. Place QR codes around the space

Entrance, demo zones, checkout, participating stores. The whole floor becomes the route.

2. Points for every visit

Each check-in adds points, so shoppers have a reason to return after opening weekend.

3. Tiered rewards

A coupon at the first tier, limited goods at the top. Design the ladder that makes people want to keep collecting.

Open to Everyone

No account required.
Open to every shopper

Campaigns that start with a sign-up form or a loyalty app lose people at the door. Petanco doesn't need a login at all. If you want light identification for rewards, you can switch on Easy Login (email only, no password).

One QR scan, no login

No account, no app download, no sign-up. Every shopper joins the same way, in seconds.

Shopper screens switch language automatically

English, Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese, matched to the phone language. International shoppers need no extra help.

Only the personal data you need

Participation asks for no personal information. Reward entries default to a nickname and an email address, nothing more.
