Why a QR code in your shop window works
- ✓Passers-by scan with their own phone — no app, no device, no queue
- ✓A prize draw gives people a reason to scan right now instead of walking on
- ✓Everyone who enters leaves their name and email themselves — you build a local customer list, properly GDPR-compliant
- ✓You can see live how many people scanned — and email your regular customers when you have a promotion or during the holidays
How to put it in your shop window or on a sign
Download a free QR poster from your portal. Choose the size that fits: A4 for your shop window, A3 for a clearly visible sign on the pavement, or a window sticker (A5) for the inside of the window. Add one clear reason to scan: “Scan and win a free sandwich” or “Scan and win 10% off”. Want to hang it outside? Laminate the poster or use a poster sleeve so it stays readable in rain and sun.
What to put on your card
- ✓A Scan & Win prize draw (wheel, predict the score, guess the number or draw) as a reason to scan
- ✓Your address with a directions button to Google Maps, so new customers can find you easily
- ✓Your specialities and offers with prices — from homemade sausages to fresh bread
- ✓Your Google reviews, so passers-by can immediately see you come highly recommended
- ✓WhatsApp button for orders and questions — and your social media so they keep following you
Turn a treat into a loyal customer
A small treat works on the pavement better than any leaflet: “Scan and win a free roll of the week” or “Spin and win 10% off your next purchase”. Every entrant leaves their name and email and automatically goes into your leads inbox. You choose the prize and the odds — EasyID handles the game, the terms and the winner email.
And because people fill in their details themselves and agree to the terms, you build a GDPR-compliant local customer list that you can email later for a promotion or your holiday order list. Try the prize draw yourself on the example card.
Frequently asked questions
How large does the QR code in my shop window need to be?
For a shop window, A4 is usually enough. For a roadside sign, use A3 or larger so passers-by can scan the code from a few metres away. You can download both sizes for free in your portal, plus a window sticker in A5 format.
Does a QR poster work outside, in rain and sun?
Yes. Laminate the poster or put it in a poster sleeve or lightbox — it will stay readable in rain and sun. For the inside of a shop window the window sticker works perfectly — completely unaffected by the weather.
Does my customer need to install an app to scan?
No. Passers-by scan the QR code with the standard camera on their phone and land straight on your card. No app, no account — one tap and they're entering your prize draw.
