Mapping QR Code Scans on Tappinn is Pure Awesome

Tappinn is pumped to announce that maps have been officially added to the analytics! Each QR code scan on Tappinn is currently tracked by geo location and members can now view a cluster map of scans for each QR code and zoom to see engagement details and pages viewed. Pure awesome. Big shout out to Kevin Galbavi (CTO) and Schuyler Bos on this, Tappinn wizzards!

Tappinn Testimonial

It is our mission to give 110% when it comes to helping our members. We are proud to make this a fundamental part of our business philosophy. It's nice to receive some positive feedback and appreciation! Below is a quote from a member recognizing our efforts. Happy Friday!

"I recently became a member of the Tappinn Platform which has been extremely useful to our company. Learning how to implement the QR codes has been a challenge but with the help with the help of your customer service staff it has helped me tremendously. I am writing to inform you of the great quality of customer service I've received from Parisa and Sandra. They have been helpful in every way, great energy, positive attitude and overall wonderful to speak to. I wanted to take the time out to acknowledge their efficient response time, product knowledge, and training efforts. They are truly an asset to your organization and one of the best customer service experiences I have ever witnessed."

User Submission Forms on Tappinn

Tappinn offers subscribers an easy tool to collect user information from custom submission forms (e.g. name, email) within their mobile tagging campaigns. User submission forms or data capture "sign ups" (e.g. enter to win, coupon) are a fundamental element to mobile content and strategy. Tappinn has made building forms and collecting new contacts from mobile tagging campaigns a snap.

User submission forms or "sign ups" from mobile tagging are a way to capture user information while allowing a response transaction from the brand by offering a mobile coupon or an exclusive discount in return. This exchange can take 10 seconds and deliver value to both parties. Below are a couple examples of how to utilize these sign up forms within your mobile tagging efforts. Check em out! 

Alles Tire is using a submission form within their mobile page that allows users to submit their name and email in exchange for a coupon from Alles Tire for a $9.95 oil and filter change. Both Alles Tire and the user who scans will get something.  Below is a link to the example by Alles Tire.

Another way to incorporate forms is by allowing sign up for catalog requests or to “opt-in” to a newsletter. Raymond Weil (Swiss watch brand) has included a sign up within their mobile tagging website that allows users to fill out their name and address to receive a catalog in the mail and get included on their email newsletter. Raymond Weil gets to increase their mailing list while users receive a new catalog of hot watch deigns in the mail. Click the link to see Raymond Weil catalog request mobile page.

Getting scanners to sign up for news and events is a fantastic way to kick start your mobile tagging site. Use the examples above as inspiration. Give users something valuable enough in return and they will be willing to give up their info and opt-in to get it.

Below are enhanced screen shots from the platform as a step by step visualization of how to build user submission forms on Tappinn.

CNN Debate With QR Codes and Twitter

The CNN Republican Presidential Debate was loaded with social and mobile goodies last night. QR Codes were flashed (long enough to scan!) throughout the debate boasting exclusive mobile content for viewers. This was a fantastic use of mobile tagging on TV and a good sign for TV networks that are getting familiar with how to display QR codes. The 'exclusive" mobile content was nothing special but it didn't suck, because it was mobile and relevant, which is a step in the right direction for QR codes being seen on TV in the future. The debate was also being discussed heavily on Twitter including the hash tag #cnndebate which was also prominent in the corner of the screen throughout the debate. CNN does a great job of incorporating Twitter discussions into their programming. This upcoming election will no doubt be one of a kind and mobile will play a big role.
