Discover imaginative ways to use designer QR codes for exceptional  merchandising. From weddings and festivals to allotments and street art, explore eclectic social calls to action like 'Let's talk', 'Join events', and 'Video message' to connect in unique ways


1. The "Local" (Pubs & Social Clubs) Upgrade the standard beer mat or table number at the pub quiz or Sunday roast.

• Order here: Skip the queue at the bar. "Scan to get a round in straight to Table 4."

• Video message from the owner: The Landlord explaining the history of the pub (e.g., "Dickens drank here").
• Leave your details in the CRM: "Join the 'Locals' WhatsApp group for updates on guest ales."

2. The British Wedding (Hen/Stag Dos & The Big Day)Weddings in the UK are full of tradition and long speeches. Use QR codes on the "Order of Service" or the menu cards.
