Three sign layouts you can adapt
Replace the brackets with your approved campaign details before printing. Use the counter-sign builder in the starter kit to create the sign, and retain a readable web address for people who cannot use the code.
| Placement | Headline | Supporting copy |
|---|---|---|
| Counter card | Your usual order has a story. | Share [action]. Earn [reward] after an eligible submission is approved. Scan for the instructions and terms. |
| Pickup shelf | Love your local ritual? | Our optional customer campaign is open until [date]. See the action, proof step, and reward before joining. |
| Table card | Share your visit, in your own words. | Want to join our customer campaign? Scan for the brief, disclosure guidance, review process, and [reward] terms. |
Give each line one job
Use the headline to make the invitation understandable. Put the action and approval condition directly below it. Keep decorative language shorter than the explanation of what the customer is being asked to do.
A sign saying “free drink” in large type and “after approved participation” in tiny type creates a mismatch. The customer should be able to understand the basic exchange without scanning. The destination page then provides the full rules.
Test placement during an ordinary visit
A pickup shelf can work when customers wait there, but a code hidden behind bags will not be useful. A counter sign can be visible while still being poorly timed if every customer is rushing to pay. Walk the customer route before choosing a location.
Make the code large enough to scan at the intended distance, preserve its clear border, and avoid glare or folds. Use strong contrast and readable text. Test the actual printout on more than one phone; a code working on your laptop does not establish that the paper version works.
Check the whole journey after scanning
Scan from a signed-out phone and confirm that you reach the intended campaign, not the owner workspace or a draft URL. Read the sign and the campaign page together. Verify that the action, reward, deadline, and business name agree.
Tell customers they will sign in with Google to participate in Nanocreator World. Staff should be able to show the instructions without taking control of a customer’s account. If the campaign has closed, remove or replace the sign promptly.
Measure participation after the scan
Use the counter source link for in-store invitations and a different supported source for other channels. Source-tagged participation can help you compare recruitment, but it is not a complete scan counter or proof of incremental sales.
Try one placement change at a time and record when it happened. Look at joins and completed submissions alongside the questions staff hear. The better sign is the one that creates an understandable invitation and useful participation, not merely curiosity.
