How to use your QR code poster
Follow these four steps and you'll start collecting reviews within days.
Find your business on KiesSlim
Search for your business at kiesslim.co.za/search. Most South African businesses are already listed. Open your business page and click the QR Code button.
Download and print your poster
Click Download Poster on your business page. You'll get a clean, print-ready A4 PDF with:
- Your business name
- A large, scannable QR code
- A short instruction for customers
- The KiesSlim branding that customers recognise and trust
Print it at home, at a print shop, or even at Checkers or Pick n Pay — colour or black-and-white both work. Laminating it will protect it from spills and weather.
Put the poster where customers will see it
Placement is everything. The poster only works if the customer sees it at the right moment — when they're happy with the job and still in your presence. Here are the best spots by business type:
Trades & Home Services
Stick it to your toolbox, your vehicle window, or hand the customer a laminated card when you collect payment. It's the most natural moment to ask.
Shops & Salons
Frame it and place it at the counter or till point. Customers wait there — and they'll scan while they wait for change or their card to process.
Restaurants & Takeaways
Put it on tables, on the receipt, or next to the till. A QR code is already a familiar sight on a restaurant table — customers know exactly what to do with it.
Clinics & Professionals
Place it at reception or on the checkout desk. Include it in your follow-up WhatsApp message or email the day after the appointment.
Ask — don't just display
The poster does the heavy lifting, but a short verbal nudge doubles the conversion rate. You don't need a script — just say something natural:
"If you're happy with the work, I'd really appreciate a quick review on KiesSlim — just scan that code."
"Reviews help other locals find us. Takes about a minute — the QR code is right there on the poster."
"Scan that QR code and leave us a review — it makes a huge difference for small businesses like ours."
Happy or not — give them the option
KiesSlim only publishes positive reviews, so it's worth being upfront with your customer:
- 😊 Happy?Scan the code and leave a review — it takes less than two minutes and makes a real difference.
- 😕 Not happy?Talk to us about it directly so we can make it right. We'd rather fix the problem than lose a customer.
This builds far more trust than just chasing reviews. Customers respect businesses that are open to feedback.
What your customer sees when they scan
The review form is designed to be simple and fast. No app download, no account needed to get started.
Scan & land instantly
The QR code opens your business review page directly in the browser. No app to install, no searching required.
Write their review
They write a short description of the service and verify with their phone number — takes about 90 seconds.
Verified & published
The review is verified and published immediately on your business page, visible to every future customer who searches for your service.
Tips that get more reviews
Ask immediately after the job
The best time to ask is right when you hand over the final invoice or receipt. The customer's satisfaction is at its peak.
Follow up on WhatsApp
Send a brief thank-you message the next day with a direct link to your KiesSlim page. A short URL is easy to tap.
Print multiple copies
Keep one at the counter, one on the wall near the exit, and carry a laminated card for on-site jobs. More exposure means more scans.
Add the link to your invoices
Include a one-liner at the bottom of your invoice or quote: "Happy with the service? Leave us a review at kiesslim.co.za"
Be direct and genuine
Customers are more likely to help when you're honest. Tell them reviews directly help your small business grow.
Make it a habit
Ask every happy customer, not just the enthusiastic ones. Consistency builds your review count faster than one-off attempts.
