How to Set Up and Use the Display to Play Widget

BeeLiked's Display to Play widget makes it easy to engage participants directly from their own devices, whether you’re running public or private promotions. This guide will walk you through how to set up and use the Display to Play widget

What Is the Display to Play Widget?

The Display to Play widget is an embeddable tool that generates QR codes for your BeeLiked promotions. By scanning a QR code, participants can join the promotion directly on their mobile devices, eliminating the need to tie up your team and devices at a checkout, trade show, etc. You can also have them scan a QR code displayed on a large screen at a sporting event or similar.

This widget is versatile and can be used for public and private promotions.

Step 1: Accessing the Widget

1. Log in to your BeeLiked account.
2. Ensure you’re on the Premium Plan (this feature is only available for Premium and Enterprise users).
3. Navigate to the Share Center from the main menu on the left-hand side and select the Display Widget.

Step 3: Generating the QR Code

1. Once your widget is ready, go to the unique URL displayed in the Share Center.
2. This URL points to a landing page that will generate the scannable QR code.
3. For Public Promotions: A single QR code is created and can be reused by multiple participants.
4. For Private Promotions: Each participant scans a unique QR code, which becomes invalid after a single use.

How Does Display to Play Work?

• Participants Scan the QR Code:
  The QR code can be displayed on various devices (e.g., iPads, large screens, or other mobile devices).
• Participants Enter the Promotion on Their Own Device:
  Scanning the code opens the promotion on the participant's personal device for a seamless experience.

Use Cases for Public and Private Promotions

Public Promotions

• How It Works: A single QR code is displayed for all participants to scan.
• Best for: High-traffic events, trade shows, retail stores, and open-access lead generation promotions.
• Supported Devices: iPads, large screens, or mobile devices.

Private Promotions

• How It Works: A staff member generates a unique QR code for each participant. Once scanned, the QR code cannot be reused.
• Best for: VIP events, rewards for purchases, and exclusive offers.
• Supported Devices: Handheld devices operated by staff members (unsuitable for large screens or static displays).
  
  
  

Entry Forms: Collecting Data (Optional)

You can choose to include an entry form to collect participant data before they engage with the promotion. Alternatively, you can skip this step for a quicker, frictionless experience.

Best Practices for Using Display to Play

1. Optimize QR Code Placement: Ensure the QR code is displayed prominently and in areas where participants can easily scan it.
2. Test Before Launching: Test the widget on all intended devices to ensure a smooth user experience.
3. Promote the Promotion: Use signage, social media, or announcements to guide participants to scan the QR code.
4. Leverage Data Collection: Use the entry form strategically to gather insights without overwhelming participants.
