For coffee shop owners

Turn quiet hours
into busy ones.

Every coffee shop has a lull: a slow mid-afternoon, a rainy Tuesday. Promosify helps you invite your regulars back right when you need them, with a QR poster by the register and a flash deal sent in about a minute.

Why a list beats a like

Your regulars are your business. Here’s the proof.

Social media decides who sees your posts. An email list goes straight to the people who already love your coffee, whenever you need them.

A Tuesday afternoon

The 2 PM lull, solved before your second espresso.

  1. The line is out the door. Everyone grabs a cold brew on the way to work.

  2. The rush is over. The QR poster by the register picks up a few new signups while people wait for their lattes.

  3. Quiet. Six empty tables. You open Promosify and send: “Afternoon cortado, $1 off until 4. Show this ticket.”

  4. A regular walks in, shows the ticket, and brings a coworker.

  5. The deal ends on its own. You check claims and redemptions and decide whether to run it again next Tuesday.

How it works

Three steps. About five minutes.

1

Hang a QR poster

Print a branded poster for the register, the pickup counter, or the pastry case. Customers scan it and join your list in seconds. No app to download.

2

Send a flash deal when it’s quiet

Pick a quick-start idea or write your own, choose when it ends, and send it to your subscribers by email.

3

See who actually came in

Customers show a ticket at checkout and your staff confirms it, so you count real redemptions instead of guessing.

Questions

What coffee shop owners ask us.

Do my customers need to download an app?

No. They scan the QR code with their phone camera, enter their email, and confirm it. That’s it.

I’m not a marketer. Is this going to take a lot of time?

Setup takes about five minutes, and a flash deal takes about one. You can start from a ready-made coffee shop idea and change the details.

Will I annoy my customers?

Only people who sign up hear from you, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe. You decide how often to send.

What does it cost?

The Free plan includes up to 5,000 subscribers and 60 email deals a month. Paid plans add text messages (coming soon).

Your next busy hour starts with one QR poster.

Create your account, print your QR poster, and send your first flash deal on the next quiet afternoon.
