Giveaways are one of the most powerful tools in a marketer's toolkit — they drive foot traffic, generate social buzz, and collect high-quality leads. But traditional giveaways require forms, apps, or staff to manage entries. Gift Giveaway QR codes eliminate all of that friction. Scan, win or lose, claim — all in under 30 seconds.
How It Works
When you create a Gift Giveaway QR code, you configure:
- The prize — a name, description, and redemption instructions
- Win percentage — e.g. 10% means roughly 1 in 10 scanners wins
- Max winners — cap the total prizes given out (optional)
- Page colour & brand name — for a polished, on-brand experience
When a customer scans the QR code, the result is decided server-side — they either see a winning screen or a "not this time" screen. Winners enter their name and email to claim, and immediately receive a unique winner code (e.g. ABCD-EFGH-IJKL) that they can show at the counter, screenshot, or receive by email.
Why Server-Side Randomness Matters
Unlike client-side "spin the wheel" games, the win/lose result in a Gift Giveaway QR is computed on the server before the page loads. This means:
- Refreshing the page doesn't change the result (one roll per session)
- The outcome can't be manipulated via browser dev tools
- Max winners caps are enforced atomically — no over-awarding
Automatic Winner Emails
Every winner automatically receives a beautifully designed confirmation email with their winner code, prize details, and redemption instructions. As the campaign owner, you get a full list of winners (name, email, code, and claim timestamp) in your dashboard — ready to export or review at any time.
Pro tip: Set your winner message to include exactly what the customer should do — "Show this code at the bar to claim your free drink. Valid today only." removes all ambiguity.
Use Cases
- Retail & hospitality — "Scan to win a free coffee / 20% off your next order"
- Events & conferences — place QR codes on flyers or event screens; winners claim branded merchandise
- Product launches — add a QR code to packaging; a percentage of buyers win a bonus gift
- Trade shows — drive booth visits with a prize draw; collect leads automatically via the claim form
- Social media — share the QR code in stories; followers scan for a chance to win
Lead Generation Built In
Because every winner submits their name and email before receiving the code, Gift Giveaway QR codes are a passive lead-capture machine. You're not asking people to fill out a form "for a chance to win" — they've already won, so providing their contact details feels rewarding, not transactional. Conversion rates are dramatically higher than cold opt-in forms.
Setting Up in Minutes
- Open your dashboard and create a new QR code
- Select Gift Giveaway as the type
- Fill in the gift name, win percentage, and winner message
- Optionally set a max winners cap and a brand colour
- Download the QR code and place it anywhere — print, digital, or packaging
You can edit the prize, win percentage, and message at any time without regenerating or reprinting the QR code — because it's a dynamic QR code, the URL always stays the same.
Tracking & Transparency
Your dashboard shows the full winner list for every Gift Giveaway QR — name, email, winner code, and claim date. Admins can also view campaign winners in the admin panel. Combined with standard scan analytics (device, country, time), you get a complete picture of campaign performance.
Available on Normal & Pro Plans
Gift Giveaway QR codes are available on the Normal and Pro plans. The Pro plan adds bulk QR creation (run multiple campaigns at once), advanced analytics, retargeting pixels, and API access for programmatic campaign management.
