Why Whisp
There are plenty of lead capture solutions available, but none match the power of Whisp.
Smart vs. Dumb QR Codes
QR codes have been around for years. They’ve made a comeback and now you see them gracing everything from posters and product packaging to direct mail and tv commercials. In the past, they were inconvenient and clumsy to navigate: users had to download a specific app to scan them, they only stored text strings and they couldn't be altered later on. Though QR codes have evolved and most smartphones can now recognize them instantly, they still have their limitations and, in our opinion, they’re still dumb and barely above basic. It was time for an upgrade.
Enter Whisp. Engineered for ultimate flexibility, swift scanning and virtually limitless marketing possibilities. Let's delve into the primary distinction between our competitor’s dumb QR codes and the power of Whisp:
Smart Whisp QR Codes truly revolutionize user experience. Scan them to completely bypass lead forms, initiating immediate 2-way SMS opt-in conversations for instant outreach — all while capturing first-party data. You can’t do that with a dumb QR code. The outcome? Swifter lead capture, providing the scanner's phone number directly and generating leads instantly. Moreover, Whisp Smart QR Codes simplify brand promotion and content sharing in real time. Cross-promote channels, boost engagement and you also have access to link analytics so that you can track the performance of each code.

The privacy of consumer information is important to Whisp.IO. We will never sell or transmit the consumer data received through the Whisp.IO processes. The information obtained from the consumer and about the consumer is transferred directly to our clients CRM or data repository for use in their system. When a consumer’s data is obtained it is protected under both Whisp.IO privacy policy (link) and the privacy policy of the Whisp.IO client (linked to on the opt-in page for the whisp.io text message sequence). If a consumer wants to opt-out of receiving messages, the consumer can text “STOP” at any time and the consumer’s information will be removed from Whisp.IO servers (if retained) and a removal transmission will be initiated into the system of Whisp.IO clients for removal of the consumer data.
