Proof of purchase for QR Code Contests

Contests and sweepstakes are an effective way for companies to generate interest in their products. The problem is, most of these promotions still require pen, paper and traditional postal mail for registration and for supplying a proof of purchase.

We solved the first half of the problem earlier this year, enabling consumers to enter drawings by simply scanning a QR code and then registering with a few keystrokes on their smartphones.




Mobilizing the proof of purchase requirement was a bit trickier.  However, with the recent release of Apple iOS 6, we were able to enable consumers to take photos of their purchase receipts and to easily upload/attach them to the mobile contest registration form.

By the way, if some of your users are still using earlier versions of the software on their phones - the system provides for alternate mechanisms for uploading the receipt later.

You can try out our new mobile contest registration functionality by scanning the QR code below (a sample contest registration form appears to the left):



We also make it easy for companies to manage their QR code contests and drawings. Below is a sample of our administrative report, showing the email addresses of the registered users, as well as photos of their purchase receipts:
