How PepsiCo Boosts Customer Engagement with Promotion Code Scanning

The worldwide food and beverage giant, PepsiCo, is rewarding consumers in Turkey with promotions and cash rewards – all with just a simple scan from their mobile phones. Using their breakout application “PepsiCo KazandiRio!”, their consumers can scan unique promotional codes on their favorite PepsiCo snacks and instantly access redeemable rewards. More recently, PepsiCo is planning on integrating further customer engagement through this application, directly at the point of purchase with the use of QR codes. This project, which is planned for the near future, will ease the engagement process not only for the customer but also for the suppliers and shops.

“Why Not Just Use QR Codes?”

This is a question we get quite often at Anyline. Here are 3 reasons why promotional code scanning is better than traditional QR codes.

1. Promotional codes can be placed anywhere: Anyline promotional codes can fit under bottle caps and can lids – and are still instantly readable by our scanning technology. QR codes are very difficult to read when shrunk to the same size, limiting their placement options.
2. Cheaters can exploit QR codes: Placing a code on the outside of the product means that anyone can easily scan the code without buying the product. In comparison with unique promotional codes, they can be placed where the customer needs to break the seal to access the code.
3. Promotional codes are more versatile: Why make a unique and beautiful promotional campaign, only to then stick a giant QR code on it. Promotional codes are easily customizable to match your brand and promotional styling, giving you more flexibility when integrating it into your campaign.
