We're happy to see The Gift Shop in Thomasville, GA using their free marketing tools to promote their registries in-store.
 

The store created in-store displays to highlight some of their registrant's gift choices. Each display has a custom flyer with the registrants' names, picture, and event date. The store also added each registry's unique QR code to the flyer. Customers can easily scan the code to browse the registrant's list while walking around in-store.
