QR codes for ice cream shops, frozen yogurt and dessert bars
The flavor board is the whole product, and it changes every few days. A code on the window that opens the live flavor list saves people from walking in only to find their favorite is gone.
Summer queues are also a chance to sign people up for rewards, since they are standing there with nothing to do but look at the sign.
This is a dynamic QR code: $3 once, and you can change where it points at any time without reprinting. How that works
What should an ice cream shop QR code open?
Think seasonally.
| Season | Code on the window opens | Code on the cup opens |
|---|---|---|
| Summer | Today's flavors and hours | Loyalty sign-up |
| Autumn | Seasonal specials | Catering and party orders |
| Winter | Gift cards and holiday pints | Review page |
How do I run a loyalty program with a QR code?
Ask customers to scan a code at the counter that opens your sign-up page, using whichever rewards or email tool you already use. Say what they get in one sentence, such as a free scoop on the tenth visit. ThreeDollarQRCode provides the code, not the rewards system.
Will a QR code work on cold or wet surfaces?
Condensation and frost can hide a code. Put the code on a dry area of the cup sleeve or on the counter sign, away from the freezer. Wipe window signs, and keep them matte.
Can I sell catering with a QR code?
Yes. A code on a table card at parties, or on the box lid, can open your catering form with minimums and lead time.
Example signs
Each example code opens threedollarqrcode.com. Your code can open any page you choose.
