Turn QR Code Check-Ins into Points & Sweepstake Entries
QR codes are more than just check-ins. With YouShould, each scan can award points, build momentum, and give visitors more chances to win prizes — all tied to real-world locations.
The Simple Idea Behind It All
People love incentives — but they love progress even more. Instead of a single scan that ends the experience, QR codes can become part of a larger journey.
Each time a visitor scans a QR code at a participating location, they earn points. Those points can then be exchanged for sweepstake entries, giving them more chances to win prizes the more places they visit.
How QR Codes, Points, and Sweepstakes Work Together
One system. Multiple layers of motivation.
1) Scan at a location
Each location displays its own QR code. Visitors scan using their phone camera — no app required.
2) Earn points instantly
Each scan awards points. You control how many points each location is worth.
3) Convert points into sweepstake entries
Visitors spend points to enter sweepstakes. More visits = more entries = better odds.
Why This Model Works So Well
This approach taps into a powerful behavior loop: visit → reward → motivation to continue. Instead of a single prize at the end, visitors feel progress every step of the way.
It also benefits partners and organizers by encouraging repeat visits, longer participation windows, and fair prize distribution without needing instant giveaways.
Key benefits
- Flexible rewards: One prize or multiple sweepstakes.
- Repeat visits: Visitors come back to earn more points.
- Fair odds: Engagement is rewarded, not just speed.
- Partner friendly: Every location contributes value.
A Real-World Campaign Example
Imagine a city running a month-long Downtown Discovery Challenge. Local shops, cafes, and attractions each display a QR code at their location.
Every scan earns points. Visitors can then use those points to enter sweepstakes for prizes like gift baskets, hotel stays, or event tickets — with winners drawn at the end of the campaign.
The result? More foot traffic, better engagement data, and a campaign people actually enjoy participating in.
