Your Ultimate Guide to Member Growth: Creative Ways to Use Your meed QR Code

So, you’ve created your loyalty program on meed. Everything is set up, and you’re ready for a flood of happy, loyal customers. Fantastic! Now for the most important part: getting people to join.

Your secret weapon for this is the meed QR code. Think of it not as a boring black and white square, but as a magic gateway. It’s the bridge that instantly takes a customer from the real world into your digital loyalty program with a simple scan of their phone.

But just having a QR code isn’t enough. The trick is to put it everywhere your customers are, making it impossible to miss and incredibly easy to join. This guide will walk you through all the tools at your disposal and give you a batch of creative ideas to turbo-charge your member sign-ups.

First, Your Toolkit for Success

When you create a program on the meed portal, you get more than just one code. You get a full toolkit designed for member growth:

• Location-Specific QR Codes: You get a unique QR code for each of your business locations. This is perfect for placing on tables or at your till, as it allows you to track exactly where your members are signing up.

• A General QR Code: Need a code for a flyer, a newspaper ad, or a market stall? You can also generate a QR code that isn't tied to a specific location.

  
  

• The Social Share Link: This is the clickable version of your QR code, perfect for using online. When a customer clicks it on their phone, it takes them straight to your sign-up page.
  

• Ready-Made Posters & Templates: In the portal, you can download ready-to-print posters with your QR code already on them. We also provide Canva templates so you or your designer can create beautiful, branded marketing materials in minutes.
  

• The ‘We’re on meed’ Sticker: We can send you these for your door or window. This little sticker is a powerful signal. It tells customers who already use meed that you’re part of the network, and it tells new customers that joining your program will be quick and hassle-free, with no need to give you their life story.

15 Creative Ideas to Grow Your Member Base

In-Store Domination: Put Your QR Code in Their Path

1. At the Till Point: This is the most crucial spot. Place a small sign or standee right by your payment terminal. This is the moment they are most engaged with your brand. Train your staff to prompt them: "Scan here to join our loyalty program and start earning rewards today!"
   

2. On Every Table: Use table talkers or simple stickers. Customers can scan and join while they wait for their order or browse the menu.
   

3. Directly On Your Menu: Add your QR code next to your best-selling item. "Love our lattes? Scan here to get your 10th one free!"
   

4. On the Front Door & Window: Use your "We're on meed" sticker. Let people see you have a modern, easy-to-join loyalty program before they even step inside.
   

5. On Takeaway Bags, Boxes, and Cups: Every single item that leaves your store is a moving advertisement. A simple sticker with your QR code on a pizza box or coffee cup is a brilliant way to get sign-ups after they’ve left.
   

6. On the Back of an Internal Door: A bit cheeky, but the back of a toilet door gives you a truly captive audience for 30 seconds. It works!
   

7. On Staff Uniforms: A simple badge with a QR code on your staff’s apron or t-shirt can be a great conversation starter.

Digital Domination: Use Your Link and Code Online

8. The 'Link in Bio' on Instagram & TikTok: This is the most valuable piece of digital real estate you have. Make your meed social link the primary call-to-action on all your social profiles.
   

9. In Your Email Signature: Add your social link to the signature of every email you send. Every reply and new message is a chance to gain a member.
   

10. On Your Website Homepage: Don’t hide it away. Have a prominent banner or button that says, "Join Our Rewards Program."
    

11. In Social Media Posts: Don't just share the link in the caption; share the QR code as an image in your posts. Create a graphic that says, "SCAN ME for exclusive offers!"
    

12. On Your 'Google Business' and Facebook Profile: Update the main button on your business profile page to your meed social link.
    

13. In Your Wi-Fi Login Page: If you offer free customer Wi-Fi, make the landing page an invitation to join your loyalty program with a clickable link.

Next-Level Ideas

14. On Your Business Cards: Add a QR code to your business card. Every new contact you make is a potential loyalty member.
    

15. Local Partnering: Ask the non-competing business next door if you can put a small flyer with your QR code at their till, and offer to do the same for them. This is the start of building a powerful local network.

Your meed QR code is a simple but potent tool. Be creative, be consistent, and make it as easy as possible for your customers to scan or click. Before you know it, you'll have a thriving community of loyal, engaged members.
