EXPANDING WITH QR CODE
Ontario-based Sparkplug Coffee, a premium reseller of quality coffee beans, delivers fresh roasted beans, delivers fresh roasted beans to customers worldwide. But without a physical store, it was a daunting task for Sparkplug Coffee to reach out to the global audience.
​
To tackle this, Sparkplug Coffee decided to integrate the QR code with a 3-month free coffee subscription campaign:
​
-
The QR code is affixed at multiple customer touch-points such as on social media, encouraging the customers to scan the code
-
Once the QR code is scanned, the customers will need to enter their email address before completing the free subscription process
The growing email list became an expanding customer base for Sparkplug Coffee to do its marketing outreach, allowing the coffee-seller to gain improved overseas traction
