How to use QR codes for coupon campaigns

Coupons work when redemption is effortless. QR bridges physical displays to a controlled landing page where you can cap redemptions and measure lift.

Built for retail and D2C marketing teams.

Do this in order

  1. Host the offer on HTTPS with clear expiry and terms.
  2. Use one QR per placement if you need to compare endcap vs window performance.
  3. Dynamic QR lets you pause an abusive promo fast.
  4. Sync POS so staff knows how to validate codes.

Common placements

  • discount redemption
  • store campaign
  • seasonal offers

Retail execution

  • Train cashiers on the soundbite: scan, confirm, apply.
  • Retire creative after expiry to avoid bad scans.
