There are several ways to publicize a promotion. However, QR codes have become a popular strategy to draw traffic due to the ease of scanning them with smartphones, and because they grab a lot of attention. Hence, spreading promotions with a QR code is an effective way of increasing visibility.

Let’s look at an example. Visitors to a brick-and-mortar store can easily scan the promotion’s QR code displayed on a digital billboard to participate in a game and win a prize. In this shopping center, a digital Scratch & Win game with summer prizes was promoted.

The Spanish supermarket chain Ametller Origen launched a customer loyalty campaign. The promotion was communicated through in-store merchandising, and customers could participate by scanning the promotion QR code.
