Scanpaigns FAQ
What Marketers Want to Know
A Scanpaign is an interactive marketing campaign that connects the physical world to digital content through any machine-detectable engagement element — like QR codes, NFC tags, or geo-fences.
A Scanpaign can use one or several touchpoints. Each touchpoint has content configured to be available at the right place at the right time. Content can be any media, such as text, images, video, executable code, websites, audio, or data files. Content can also be digital experiences, like gamification, augmented reality, or purchase transactions.
When a user device like a smartphone detects or enters the operational range of a touchpoint, the Scanpaigns system delivers content to the user device based on a Scanpaign's touchpoint and content availability.
After initial engagement, the Scanpaign sends notifications to users about Scanpaign updates, such as new content or upcoming engagement opportunities.
Scanpaigns can be easily set up by brands and content creators.
They simply engage with any Scanpaign touchoint and get content. Then they'll receive a push, SMS, or email notification based on their preferences.
The notifications are designed to prompt reengagement with the original touchpoint or other touchpoints associated with the Scanpaign.
That process continues for the duration of the Scanpaign
The flexibility of Scanpaigns allows brands and content creators to set up ongoing experiences that facilitate unique experiences, including rewards programs, loyalty programs, exclusive content, offers, and even shopping experiences.

A touchpoint is any smartphone detectable engagement technology capable of launching a Scanpaign. By today's standards, these are some of the more common types of touchpoints: QR codes, NFC tags, augmented reality markers, geolocation markers, websites, product packaging, wearable devices, interactive displays, audio recognition cues, gestures, or biometric data. There are more coming and we'll accommodate them, too.
Simply put, if a smartphone can detect or interact with it and it can launch a Scanpaign — it's a touchpoint.
“Phygital” is a mashup of physical and digital. It describes experiences that begin in the real world and connect instantly to digital content — like scanning a shirt, tapping a product, or entering a location and unlocking something online.
Scanpaigns orchestrate compelling phygital experiences.
Social media gets buried. Ads get ignored. Scanpaign touchpoints live in the physical world and should be placed where your audience is likely to be — and once they engage, you can keep the connection going with follow-ups, content drops, and re-engagement triggers.
It’s marketing that sticks.
