Grow your email and SMS lists with in-store giveaways. Bring people to a new location. Give shoppers a reason to come back. It all starts with a scan. Revup helps retail teams grow email and SMS lists through in-store giveaways, build a local audience before opening a store, and run instant win promotions. Shoppers enter on their own phone through a branded promotion form, with no app to download. ## Ways to bring shoppers back ### QR-code giveaways Put a promotion QR code or URL on counter signs, window displays, receipts, and bag inserts. Offer a chance to win a shopping spree or another prize, and collect the contact details and consent shoppers choose to share. See [Sweepstakes](/sweepstakes/) and [Forms](/forms/). ### Instant wins for store events Add an instant win game to your next store event. Give shoppers a chance to win before they leave. Configure your prizes and entry experience in Revup. See [Instant Win](/instant-win/) and [Winner Management](/winner-management/). ### New-store opening sign-ups Collect local sign-ups and keep shoppers in the loop for opening day. See [Forms](/forms/). ### Customer photo contests Invite shoppers to share their favorite finds through a photo contest. Review submissions before sharing them in a public gallery. See [Contests](/contests/). ## One promotion. Every location. Launch one promotion across every store. Revup gives each location its own tracking link and ready-to-use QR code for signage, receipts, bag inserts, or anywhere else shoppers enter. See which locations drive the most participation while keeping one consistent branded experience across every store. No POS integration or external QR code tool required. For different prizes or eligibility, duplicate the promotion and adjust it for each location or region. ## No POS connection required Shoppers submit their details through a promotion form. Revup does not automatically receive in-store transactions. Existing participant records can be imported from CSV or created through the [Revup API](/integrations/api/). ## Learn about your customers Bring promotion entries, referrals, and form answers together in customer profiles. Learn which stores people visit and what they choose to share with you across campaigns. See [Revup Intelligence](/customer-intelligence/). ## Keep your marketing tools Sync promotion entries and consent to your connected marketing platform. Map the fields you collect so your team can follow up using its existing tools. See [Integrations](/integrations/). ## Common questions ### How do shoppers enter an in-store promotion? Revup gives you a promotion URL and a ready-to-use QR code to place on counter signs, window displays, receipts, or bag inserts. Shoppers scan the code or visit the URL to open your branded entry page on their phone and fill out the form. There is no app to download. ### Do I need to connect my point-of-sale system? No. Shoppers enter through your promotion form, so you can launch without a POS connection. Revup does not automatically receive your in-store transactions. To bring in existing participant records, use a CSV import or the Revup API. ### Can I see which locations bring in entries? Yes. Create a separate tracking link for each store and download its QR code directly in Revup. Compare entries by traffic source in reporting. You can also ask shoppers to select their store in the entry form. ### Can different locations offer different prizes? Yes. Duplicate your promotion and update the prize, entry dates, and eligibility for each location or region. Keep a shared campaign design while giving each store its own offer. ### Can Revup help with rules and winner selection? Yes. Generate official rules, set entry restrictions, and select winners with a recorded draw. Review your eligibility, prize details, and rules before launch. ### Can I keep using my email service provider? Yes. Sync promotion entries and consent to your connected marketing platform. Map the fields you collect so your team can follow up in the tools it already uses. ### What does the free trial include?
