Retail Scratch-Off Promotions

These promotions usually offer customers digital scratch-off cards that reveal prizes, discounts, or other rewards.

Here’s a breakdown of how they work and their benefits:

How Retail Scratch-Off Promotions Work

1. 1. Distribution:
      

       

      • • Cards are distributed during in-store visits with purchases using a QR Code or as part of a larger campaign.
      • • Text links and QR codes are featured in email blasts, printed on signage, social media advertisements, websites, and online orders.

1. 1. Scratch-Off Mechanism:
      

       

      • • Each card has a concealed area that customers scratch off with a cursor or swipe with their finger to reveal their prize.
      • • Prizes range from small discounts and gifts to high-value rewards, such as gift cards or merchandise.

1. 1. Redemption:
      

       

      • • Customers redeem their rewards in-store, online, or by presenting the card at checkout.
      • • There’s often a redemption code or barcode for tracking.

1. 1. Rules and Terms:
      

       

      • • The card or campaign materials outline clear rules, terms, and conditions, including expiration dates and eligibility criteria.
      • • Limitations, such as “one card per customer” or “valid for purchases over $50,” may apply.
