Shop Window Guide

Closed? Ask us anyway.

What is it?

A sign in your shop window with a QR code. A passer-by scans it with their phone and your character answers their questions, even after you've locked up, and takes a message for you.

It's your Tommy Talk™ character, working the window. No app to download.

What the passer-by sees

A page on their phone with your character, your opening hours and a chat. After closing time it says you're closed and offers to take a message.

Point your phone at the sign at the top of this page. Go on, I'll wait.

  1. Hello! We're closed for the night, but ask me anything.
  2. Do you do birthday cakes?
  3. We do, with a week's notice. Shall I take a message so Sam can call you in the morning?
  4. Leave a message

How it works

For the person outside your door

  1. They scan the sign

    With their phone's camera. There's no app to download and nothing to sign up to.

  2. They ask their question

    Opening hours, prices, whether you stock it: your character answers from your own facts.

  3. They leave a message

    Name, number and what they need. It's emailed to you, and it can point them to your booking page.

The sign

Made to be read from the pavement

Big words, a big code, and a line telling people exactly what to do. Your sign comes with your name on it, ready to print.

The page it opens knows your opening hours, so after closing time it says you're closed and offers to take a message instead.
