Why classic promotional products are no longer enough

Distributing a promotional product means investing in a medium with no measurable return. Once handed to the prospect, it becomes impossible to know whether it was used, kept or thrown away. Marketing loses control. Sales reps follow up blindly.

The connected promotional product solves this by embedding an NFC chip or a QR code. The physical medium stays the same, but it becomes an entry point to a measurable digital experience. Every scan counts, every interaction is tracked.

FAQ

Connected promotional product FAQ

The most frequently asked questions about NFC connected promotional products.

What's the difference between a classic and a connected promotional product?

A classic promotional product is distributed and then impossible to measure. A connected one contains an NFC chip or QR code that opens a measurable web page. You track scans, change the destination remotely, qualify contacts and export leads to your CRM.

NFC or QR code, which to choose?

NFC is faster (a single tap is enough) and more modern. The QR code is visible, readable from a distance and doesn't require a very recent smartphone. For a handled object (keyring, magnet, badge), NFC is ideal. For an object to be scanned from a distance (POS, window display, poster), QR is more relevant. Most of our clients combine both.

What is dynamic redirection?

Each object points to a URL managed by our back office. You can change the destination at any time, by campaign, by object type or by customer segment. An already distributed object points to the new page without reprinting.

What data is collected?

Number of scans, date and time, distributed medium, associated campaign, form completed or not, engagement score, conversions. Data is GDPR compliant, hosted in France and exportable to HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho or Microsoft Dynamics.

What are the lead times for setup?

Digital scenario configuration within 48 working hours. Object production within 10 to 15 working days. First scans tracked from distribution in the Timelapse-3D back office.

What ROI can you expect from a connected promotional product?

At a trade show, count on an average of 25 to 40% scans on the distributed objects, and 8 to 15% qualified leads. ROI depends on the sector, the scenario and the quality of sales follow-up. Our simulator gives you a costed estimate.
