Introduction: Why Participation Rate Matters in Retail
For local retailers, every customer interaction is a valuable opportunity—but motivating shoppers to take action, such as leaving a review or sharing with friends, is a constant challenge. Traditional methods like QR codes and receipt requests fall flat, leading to low participation rates and missed growth potential. Tapget changes the game by making it effortless for customers to engage, unlocking exponential reach through seamless “share with friends” triggers. With one tap, you drive reviews, followers, and repeat orders—boosting ROI and helping your business stand out locally.
How Tapget Works: One-Tap Simplicity for In-Store Success
NFC In-Person Activation
Tapget uses NFC (near-field communication) to transform the in-store experience. Customers simply tap their phone on a Tapget device—no app downloads or QR scanning required. This frictionless start leads to up to 30% higher tap-through participation rate compared to QR or manual processes. The placement is simple: at checkout counters, product displays, or entryways, clearly marked with “Tap Here for Rewards & Feedback.”

AI Automation for Outcomes
After tapping, Tapget’s AI instantly guides customers through tailored outcomes: leave a Google review, follow your social page, access exclusive offers, or order online—all in less than 30 seconds. Staff don’t need special training; the system auto-directs the flow based on business goals and customer preferences. For example:
- Step 1: Tap device
- Step 2: Review prompt appears
- Step 3: Follow/Order option shown
- Step 4: Reward delivered (optional)
This sequence removes guesswork and maximizes participation rate—no manual setup or follow-up needed.
Proof: Measurable Results from Early Adopters
Tapget’s impact is proven by real numbers from local businesses:
- One retail location saw a 20% lift in reviews month-over-month after launch—jumping from an average of 10 reviews per month to 12–15 consistently.
- Social follower growth averaged 15–25% in the first 30 days, driven by one-tap prompts and share with friends referral links.
- Repeat orders increased by 13% within two months, as customers tapped to reorder or claim incentives.
- Staff feedback highlights simplicity: “It takes less than five seconds; customers love how easy it is.” No extra workload or tech hurdles.

Real-World Interactions That Convert:
At a boutique shop, staff greet customers at checkout: “Before you go, just tap here for a chance at today’s prize!” Participation rate rose from 9% (QR-based) to 29% within four weeks.
- Tip: Have staff demonstrate a tap once per shift during busy hours—showing how easy it is drives adoption.
