    Enhance Stadium Concourse Signage with QR Code Giveaways

    Corporate partners looking for new ways to engage fans on gameday should consider featuring QR code displays within the stadium concourse that deliver unique, interactive content. Brands leverage QR codes on back-lit displays to distribute free music downloads, gameday programs, virtual premium giveaways (wallpapers, animated characters, 3D characters), free mobile subscriptions, video vignettes, books/magazines, interactive games, and highlight reels to fans.

    Firstbank, Colorado's largest locally owned bank, recently engaged travelers at Denver International Airport with three (3) engaging billboard displays featuring QR codes that offered free books, Sudoko, and crossword puzzles. Each of the billboards featured specific messaging that explained to travelers how to access the free content.

    Program Details:

    • Firstbank estimated that it would give away 7,000 books, Sudoko games, and crossword puzzles over a 5-month span
    • The process of downloading a book to a smartphone via QR reader took less than 30 seconds
    • Firstbank offered twelve (12) classic books, three (3) crossword puzzles, and Sudoko for travelers
    • Consumers could download via mobile phone or online at efirstbank.com/books

    Teams could look to replicate this concept within their stadium venues (on behalf of corporate partners) or as a unique messaging campaign in the marketplace. For example, teams could leverage their partnerships with airline partners to feature signage inside airports offering free team content (highlight reels, gameday programs, special offers) to travelers as they wait for their flights. This could also be replicated with auto partners (in waiting rooms), grocery store partners, electronics partners, etc.

    I think this campaign is great and really like your ideas for applying it to stadiums. With so many advertisements and marketing efforts bombarding consumers, it is really important to create a creative campaign that stands out from all the rest and even more importantly engages the consumer. With so much information to take in all around them, when consumers are actually engaged they are more likely to remember the experience and the product. And the great the about using the digital signage that you mentioned is that the content can be changed to accommodate special occasions, concerts, etc. The result would be more effective marketing and more bang for your buck.
