Pay stations, vacuums and receipts reach every driver. Give each one a QR code and see which brings in the most sign-ups. 1. **One QR code per placement.** Give pay stations, vacuums and receipts their own tracking links. 2. **Ask how often they wash.** Add an optional question to find drivers who wash every week. 3. **Reward referrals.** Award bonus entries when a friend someone refers enters too. 4. **Offer the membership.** Sync opted-in drivers to your email platform and follow up with a plan. Revup doesn’t sell memberships, process payments or connect to car wash or license plate recognition software. [See how giveaways work](/sweepstakes/). ## Know your regulars before they join.

Give away a year of unlimited washes, run a dirtiest car photo contest, put a QR code at every pay station and vacuum, and collect membership interest. Each promotion builds a list of local drivers you can bring back. ### Can drivers earn bonus entries for referring friends? Yes. Turn on referral sharing in a giveaway, and entrants get bonus entries when someone they refer enters too. Revup tracks entries, not washes, so any reward for a referred membership is handled by your team. ### Does Revup sell or manage wash memberships? No. Revup collects entries and interest. Memberships, billing and license plate recognition stay in your car wash software. ### Can we compare locations? Yes. Give each location its own tracking links and QR codes, then compare sign-ups by location. ### Can Revup help with rules and winner selection? Yes. Generate official rules, set entry restrictions, and select winners with a recorded draw. Use winner claim forms to collect the details you need to arrange prizes. Review your eligibility, prize details, and rules before launch. ### What does the free trial include?
