# The QR code on your counter that books clients while you work

Every 'I'll book later' is a booking you might not get. A QR code on the counter, the mirror, or the window sends people straight to your booking page while the intention is still warm.

> **The short version**
>
> - Your admin has a ready-made QR code that opens your booking page directly.
> - Print it for the counter, the mirror, the window, or the bottom of a price list.
> - People scan with their phone camera and land straight on your services and times.
> - The window copy works after hours too, when your door is shut but your calendar is not.

Dre hears it a dozen times a week at the register: this was great, I will book my next one later. He used to hand over a card with the shop's name and hope. Some of those people came back. Plenty did not, not because the cut was bad, but because later is where intentions go to be forgotten.

## Catch the booking while it is warm

The best moment to book the next visit is the moment someone is happy with this one. A QR code on the counter turns that moment into an action that takes seconds. The client points their camera, the booking page opens, they pick a time while their card is still in their hand. No app, no account, no typing an address.

The code comes from the Share and QR page in your admin, already wired to your booking page. Print it any size. It works on a laminated card at the register, a sticker on the mirror, or a poster in the window.

*The whole flow is camera, scan, book. The friction of 'later' never gets a chance.*

## Your window works the night shift

A code in the window changes what a closed shop means. Someone walks past at 9pm, likes the look of the place, scans, and books Thursday. You find the booking in the morning. The window did the selling and the calendar did the paperwork while you were at home.

- Counter card: the after-service booking, caught at peak happiness.
- Mirror sticker: clients stare at your mirror for most of an appointment. Put the next visit in their eyeline.
- Window poster: after-hours bookings from foot traffic you would otherwise never meet.
- Price list footer: the person studying your prices is already halfway to booking.

> A business card asks someone to remember you. A QR code asks them to book you.

## Five minutes, once

Open Share and QR in your admin, print the code, and put it where eyes already go. That is the entire project. It costs a sheet of paper and it works every day after, including the days you are closed.
