No tags CUSTOMERS ON DEMAND
Viva! have launched an exciting new marketing system that uses QR codes (Quick Response Codes) over and above the usual use of scanning the code with your smartphone (iPhones etc.) to go to a website, collect business card details or receive a sales message. Marketing Bugle, the parent company behind Viva! Publications have in place a unique QR Code system that captures the email address and name of customers or potential customers as soon as they scan a promotional QR Code, wherever it is displayed.
Try scanning code with your QR code scanner to see how it works
Example QR Code
The Viva! QR system builds a database or subscriber list of all those who scan the code using their smartphone so that any business that uses the Viva! QR system can keep in touch so, when the subscriber is ready to buy, they buy from that business.
Example of use
Viva! QR Code is set up to vend voucher codes or printable vouchers. Let’s say that you run a restaurant, for example, and are offering a free dessert on the current customer’s next visit. The Viva! QR Code is displayed on every menu, point of sale and in the window. As soon as the customer scans the code and presses ‘Send’ on their smartphone, they are on the system and will stay on the system so that the restaurant manager can email them about other or future offers, hence, keeping in touch and letting them know when to come in to take advantage of the offers. The restaurant manager doesn’t have to spend time sending out to his entire list of potential customers, it’s all done automatically by our system. Think about it, every time you have a special offer, you’ll get customers in via the QR Code system. If the restaurant is normally quiet on Wednesday evenings, then why not have a Wednesday offer promoted via the Viva! QR Code system?
There’s more to Viva! QR Codes than you think
The above will work for any business of course where the subscriber list will grow and grow over the weeks and months. However, to ensure it grows as fast as possible, Viva! QR have linked the system to Facebook so that YOUR pages will have to be ‘Liked’ (promoting your business online big time) and also enabling the end user to ‘Share’ your voucher. The results can be mind-blowing.
The average number of ‘Friends’ for each person on Facebook is 117. So, a customer with your voucher can share it with all those friends at the click of a button. All those who scan the shared code are also put onto your customer database so you can build a relationship with them and get them into your restaurant or buy from your shop etc.. Just 10 people sharing will result in 1170 others seeing your QR Code … think about the power of that. Your list is more likely to have 100 people on it so, when they share your voucher, that’s 11,700 others who will also see your QR Code. Remember, once they scan it, they’re on your database. As most people have friends that live local to them, the restaurant manager will be pretty pleased with the resulting busy Wednesday nights, I’d say.
YOU Could Benefit Right Now!
How could YOUR business benefit from having a database of potential customers who scanned your QR code and, therefore, must be interested in what you have to offer. Having a good starting offer and then regular other offers, you will sell more of your products or services than you ever believed possible. The system is great for regular items like restaurants, hairdressers, gyms, pubs, clubs, shops, take-a-ways or anything you can think of.
Benefit even more from Viva! QR Codes
Imagine using your QR Code in ALL your advertising … just a small area in the corner of each advert. This would really enhance your subscriber list building. Place the code on posters, flyers, leaflets, business cards, in the window, stationery, magazines, on your products, by the till, on your name-badge … the ideas are endless. Having a notice above the code stating ‘Scan Me For Free Dessert With Any Meal On Your Next Visit!’ will ensure that those with smartphones (the scanning app is downloadable and free of charge) will scan right away.
What, no ‘phone?
Millions of people now have smartphones and this number is growing on a daily basis. QR codes are popping up everywhere you look … websites, magazines, on TV, invoices, inventory etc. etc. But Viva! QR uses the code for this unique and original purpose … to bring you more REGULAR repeat customers whenever you want them. However, suppose there is no signal or the customer hasn’t got that type of ‘phone (yet)? Well, under the code is an email address. By the customer sending a blank email with ‘coupon’ in the subject heading, the same thing will happen. They’ll join your subscriber list as soon as they press ‘Send’ on the email. It couldn’t be easier.
