Scan Points Explained

Thingys: The Art of Making Money (and Friends) with Your Art and Photos

Hold on, what?

Yup! Each Thingy has a secret agent hiding inside – an NFC chip. Tap a modern smartphone on it or near it (think phone handshake!), and it whisks them away to your Thingy’s personal webpage. Here’s the magic of that tap:

• New visitors get 1000 Thingy scan points (value of $10) for signing up (basically free art for them!).
• You get 500 points (value of $5) after your new referral makes their first purchase (because you’re the coolest art curator they know).
• We call these new fans that you bring to the company, your Thingy “children.” Cute, right? (Or creepy? We’re not sure.)

But wait, there’s more!

• Your new Thingy “children” can spread the Thingy love too! When their friends scan their Thingys, you become a Thingy “grandparent” (not as cool as that other kind of grandparent, but still pretty cool). And guess what? You ‘ole Thingy grandma/grandpa will get 250 points (value of $2.50) for those scans! 

Think Oprah giving away cars, but with Thingy discounts! Everyone gets them!!

And it’s super simple to do…

Just show off your Thingys! Who doesn’t want to talk about that picture of Bobby with ice cream on his face?

Or show off our magnetic mounting system (seriously, it’s awesome!), and while they’re at it, they should just scan it for those delicious free points (signing up takes like 10 seconds). Now you both have new points and something to talk about. High fives all around!

The more “children” and “grandchildren” you collect, the more Thingy points you rack up. Pretty soon, your walls will be overflowing with what could be free, gorgeous art or photos. ️

How many reasons do we need to ditch your dusty, dated frames and turn your photos and art into a money-making (and friend-making) machines? 1000 Cheers for Thingys!
