HOW IT WORKS
Option One:
You will create a 4-digit pin code. A sign will be placed at your business with instructions utilizing a QR Code. If you would like participants to enter or patronize your establishment, you may ask participants to retrieve the pin code from staff once they have patronized or taken/shared a picture with your business and #803Day. Once they enter the pin code in the Soda City Certified app, they will collect 20 days. (Total possible points: 500)
Option Two:
A sign will be placed outside of your business with a QR Code. Participants will go to the website connected to the QR Code. They will search the page for a 4-digit PIN Code. The pin code will then be entered on the Soda City Certified app to collect 20 points. (Total possible points: 500)
