Uptick Growth · Requires hosting
Local attention, turned into visits you can count.
Growth is the premium layer on a host screen. A Monthly Anchor on the counter is the reason to care; an Uptick Drop on the phone is the reason to act now; the pass is redeemed at your register and reported back to you plainly.
A worked example. Joe's Market is not a client; the mechanics are exactly what runs.
Requires hosting · Anchor on the screens · Drops on the phone
How Growth works
Five steps. Two of them are yours.
You choose the offer and provide the reward. Uptick does the rest, and reports it back.
01
Set the Anchor
One offer for the month, and what the reward is. It runs on your screen and on the Uptick screens nearby, with one code to scan. The screen is the durable reason to care.
02
Customers scan and claim
A number delivers this month's pass by text. Two boxes, both optional and off to start: updates from you, and Uptick Drops from nearby businesses.
03
They visit and redeem
Open the pass, show staff, tap redeem, confirm. Uptick records the redemption and the time. No POS integration, no cashier code, no new software.
04
Send Drops
A Drop is a limited-time offer to the people who asked for one: morning hours, this weekend, the first thirty. The phone is the urgent reason to act.
05
Read the report
Signups, claims, redemptions with time, Drops sent and what each brought back, by placement. Only what Uptick can actually observe.
What makes a Drop a Drop
Real windows. Real limits. Nothing invented.
A screen whose content changes monthly cannot keep saying “today only” and stay credible. A Drop can, because it is true: it lands when the window opens and it ends when the window closes.
- Before 11 AM
- Friday to Sunday
- First 30 redemptions
- This week only
- While supplies last
Drops go only to the people who asked for them. How often is up to you and the offer, not a schedule Uptick imposes.

Claim: upticklocal.com/d/7QK2
Reply STOP to opt out.
Consent, exactly
The claim is one thing. The lists are two others.
A customer’s number is used once, to deliver the pass. Everything else is a separate choice, and both are unchecked to start.
What Uptick reports
Real activity, not estimated audiences.
A screen playing your Anchor is a play count, not a headcount. Uptick does not convert plays into impressions and does not claim to know a customer’s total spending. What it can observe, it reports.
Uptick handles
- The screens
- The code and the claim flow
