    Plans and add-ons

    Every business card order you print is a customer who wants to be remembered. Today they walk out with paper. Next week they buy an NFC card or a digital profile online. You did the work. Someone else took the upgrade. The Micro-Kiosk puts that upgrade on your counter, so the second sale stays with you.

    The add-ons

    Two add-ons. One sentence each.

    QR Code add-on

    We give you the QR code. You print it on the cards you are already printing. It opens a live Lets Connect digital profile the customer can edit forever. No extra print run. No extra stock.

    NFC Card upgrade

    The customer taps their card on any phone and their details save instantly. Lets Connect HQ produces, customises and ships it. You just take the order.

    Ordering menus, flyers or signs? Add Google review cards and stands to the same order. See review cards

    The 30-second counter script

    Your staff already have the conversation. This adds one line to it.

    "Do you want these to keep working after you hand them over? Add a QR code or a tap card and your contact saves straight into their phone."

    "Is there a monthly fee?"
    No. Pay once. Yours for life.
    "What if my number changes?"
    Update the profile. The card never needs reprinting.
    "Does it work on iPhone?"
    iPhone and Android by tap. Any phone camera by QR.
    "I'll think about it."
    Add the QR now. It goes on the cards we are already printing, so there is no second print run later.

    We train your team on this in under an hour.

    What your £10,000–15,000 actually buys

    Up to two-thirds of your investment comes back to you as stock on your shelf.

    You are not paying £15,000 for a logo. You are stocking your counter.

    Pay-once beats subscriptions at the counter

    Your customer pays once and owns it. No monthly bill to explain. That is an easy yes across a counter.

    One tap is the whole demo

    Hand them the demo card. They tap it. Your contact is in their phone. Nothing else to explain.

    We do the hard part: production, platform, support

    HQ makes and ships every custom NFC card and runs the platform. You take the order.

    Three £49 sales a month cover your only running cost. Everything after that is margin on orders you were taking anyway. On the average plan, 163 card-equivalent sales is about 6 a trading day across all orders.

    Want to pay your team a commission per add-on? Pay it from your 65%. It is a choice, not a running cost.

    Operating profit is after royalty and the technology fee, before tax, finance costs, depreciation and owner drawings. It uses staff time already on your counter. Actual results can be lower, including a loss.

    Cost in context

    What it really costs you, month by month

    Spread the one-time investment over three years and look at it the way you look at every other business cost. It comes to £278–417 a month. Over 12 months it is £833–1,250 a month.

    £9–14 a day

    That is the 36-month equivalent of the full investment: the £5,000 franchise fee plus £5,000–10,000 of starter stock that sits on your counter, yours to sell.

    • Your investment, spread over 36 months£278–417 a month
    • Average plan operating profit£5,113 a month
    • Strong sales operating profit£7,724 a month
    vs 1

    Against your wage bill

    £9–14 a day is less than two hours of part-time cover. And you are not hiring anyone.

    vs 2

    Against one sale

    One £49 add-on leaves you £31.85 on an order you had already taken.

    vs 3

    Against the return

    The average plan's monthly profit is more than 12 times the 36-month figure. On the average plan the full investment pays back in about 2–3 months.

    The investment is a one-time amount paid upfront. The monthly and daily figures are a value comparison only and are not an instalment offer. Profit figures are illustrative planning estimates before tax, finance costs, depreciation and owner drawings, and are not guaranteed.

    Timing

    What waiting could cost you

    This uses your own number from the job ticket. It shows potential operating profit forgone by not taking part. It is not an amount you are guaranteed to lose.

    Every week you wait, your customers buy the upgrade elsewhere. Then they stop asking you.
