Quick answers for Barcelona teams
Will this work if our shop is mostly walk-in?
Yes — print a QR at Gràcia shops and beach-adjacent cafés. Many Barcelona merchants grow their first list from till, table, or mirror scans before they ever add a website widget.
How does this relate to qr marketing specifically?
For qr marketing in Barcelona, the win is speed plus permission: capture consent once, then message when tourist noise drowning local loyalty would otherwise waste the day.
Is SMS cheaper for Spain merchants?
Per-message SMS costs rise fast. Web push is typically more economical for frequent updates once people have opted in, especially for midweek nudges and restocks.
