Make Every Customer Touchpoint Do More

Small businesses already use printed and digital materials to get attention, explain offers, and bring customers back. Augdepot adds an interactive layer so those materials can open a video, product demo, menu, special offer, booking page, brand story, or customer message.

Instead of sending people from print to a plain webpage, give them a quick experience that feels personal, useful, and easy to share.

Choose What You Want Customers to Do

Book an Appointment

Connect appointment cards, flyers, mailers, or follow-up materials to a booking page, intro video, service explanation, or client testimonial.

Place an Order

Use AR on menus, packaging, table tents, or product cards to guide customers to online ordering, specials, product details, or seasonal offers.

Understand a Product

Add demos, instructions, care guides, recipes, styling ideas, or product stories to packaging, labels, inserts, and retail materials.

Watch Your Story

Let customers scan a flyer, package, thank-you card, or promo piece to hear from the owner, meet the team, or learn the story behind the business.

Claim an Offer

Turn coupons, mailers, posters, or campaign cards into interactive promotions with video, offer details, limited-time specials, or event information.

Share the Experience

Create scannable moments customers can show friends, family, guests, or followers without needing them to download an app.
