Subway Restaurants' Call to Action: Scan the QR Code and take a survey
What did Subway do with the QR Codes?
Subway placed large QR Codes on their doors and offers a free cookie in exchange for completing a short survey. The only catch is that you need to make sure you keep your receipt in order to complete the survey. After the barcode is scanned, consumers are able to join their email list or continue to the mobile website to complete the survey. Once the survey is complete, the consumer is then given an access code to redeem for a free cookie.
Subway Restaurants' QR Code Marketing Campaign
The QR Code that Subway created leads consumers to a mobile friendly landing page that allows them to complete their survey. Their use of mobile barcodes for this reason, I feel, has value for both the consumer and Subway Restaurants. This is because they offer an incentive to consumers for completing the short survey which provides very valuable data for them about the service the customer received at their restaurant. The data is traced by a store number, date, time, and method of payment, and in order to take the survey, the customer must enter this on the mobile Web page prior to completing it. All of this information is printed on the receipt.
