Classic giveaways vs connected giveaways

A classic giveaway is distributed, forgotten and difficult to measure. Once handed to your prospect, you don't know whether it was used, when, or with what level of interest.

A connected giveaway changes the equation. The recipient scans the object with their smartphone, no app required, and lands on a page designed for your objective: capturing a lead, triggering a Google review, launching a contest, presenting a catalogue. Every scan is tracked, dated and attributed to a campaign. Marketing finally gets real measurement.

How a Timelapse-3D NFC giveaway works

Three steps: production, distribution, measurement.

You choose the medium (keyring, magnet, badge, sticker, medal) and the personalisation (logo, colours, front/back, embedded NFC or complementary QR code). We manufacture the run in France and configure the linked digital experience. Once distributed, the object opens the right landing page depending on the campaign, and every interaction feeds back into your back office.

Examples of connected media

  • Custom NFC keyring for sales reps
  • Connected magnet for Google reviews and loyalty
  • Event NFC badge for trade shows and conferences
  • NFC sticker for POS, counter, window display
  • Connected finisher medal (Athletics Labs)
  • NFC card for points of sale and franchises
  • Custom 3D-printed object with embedded NFC
  • Connected counter display with live dashboard

Use cases by marketing objective

  • Lead generation at trade shows
  • Google review collection after service or purchase
  • Customer reactivation with offers and catalogues
  • Product launch with a dedicated page
  • Contests and instant wins with scoring
  • Referral programme tracked in real time
  • Field sales follow-up and NFC business card
  • Managing a franchise or point-of-sale network

What you actually measure

Number of scans per day, per campaign, per object type. Activation date and time. Approximate location. Form completed or not. Engagement score per contact. Associated conversions and cost per lead.

Data is exportable to HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho or Microsoft Dynamics. Your CRM stays the single source of truth, and Timelapse-3D feeds it with qualified contacts from the field.

FAQ

NFC connected giveaways FAQ

The most frequently asked questions to frame your NFC campaign.

What is an NFC connected giveaway?
A connected giveaway is a promotional object (keyring, magnet, badge, sticker, medal) that contains an NFC chip. On scan with a smartphone, it opens a web page with no app required: form, catalogue, offer, contest, Google review or product page. Every interaction is tracked in a back office.
What's the difference between a classic and a connected giveaway?
A classic giveaway is distributed and often forgotten. A connected giveaway triggers a measurable action on scan, keeps contact with the recipient and can be reused across several campaigns. The destination link can be changed remotely without reprinting the object.
Is an app needed to scan?
No. NFC is native on all modern smartphones (recent iOS and Android). No app to download. A single tap opens the destination page.
Which objects can be connected?
Keyrings, magnets, event badges, stickers, cards, finisher medals, 3D-printed objects and counter displays. The whole range can be personalised to your brand.
Can the link be modified after production?
Yes. Every object points to a URL managed by our back office. You can change the destination remotely, by campaign, by object type or by segment. No reprinting required.
What exactly is measured?
Number of scans, date and time, distributed medium, associated campaign, completed form, engagement scoring, conversions and performance by category or campaign. Everything is exported to your CRM.
How much does a connected giveaway cost?
From $1.50 ex VAT per unit for 1,000 custom NFC keyrings. Connected magnets, badges and stickers are available from similar quantities. Volume discounts beyond 5,000 and 10,000 units.
How long does production take?
Allow 10 to 15 working days from sign-off of the proof. For very large runs, plan 3 to 4 weeks. Production in France in Seillons-Source-d'Argens.
