Wouldn’t it be cool if your decor was interactive? We don’t mean talking toasters or conversational curtains, but pots with personality and funky functions.
A Lightbulb Moment
At Happy Pot, we’re on a mission to make the coolest plant pots on the planet. We do that by combining imaginative design principles with cutting edge 3D-technology, adding customizable features and prioritizing sustainability. But there was one thing missing from most other playthings - interactivity.
As cool as our Happy Pots were, we understood that their ‘happy’ element was limited to them looking really good and helping the environment. So, we had to find a way to create value-adding touch points between the pot and its person.
While at a networking event, a savvy tech-entrepreneur asked to exchange contact information. He pulled out a sleek, thick business card and asked me to scan it. Although I’ve always preferred the ritualistic sorting through a collection of traditional business cards after an event, I admit it was cool to see a notification with this dude’s contact information pop up on my phone - seemingly out of thin air - just by tapping my phone up to his expensive-looking business card.
A week or so later, in the midst of a product workshop trying to figure out ways to get people to play with our pots, I thought back to this very moment, and the rest was history.
Reinventing the Wireless Wheel
Tap-Tech by Happy Pot reimagines the technology found in contactless business cards and wireless payment solutions to custom, creative contexts that add value to each specific customer.
Happy Pot operates within the realm of business, providing pots as gifts or decor for clients ranging from small cafés to multinational financial institutions. Every business serves different customers in different ways, so our interactive feature of choice had to be customizable to each client’s specific needs.
Tap-Tech is an invisible, proximity-based technology found within select Happy Pot products which grant users access to online digital content just by placing their smartphone close to it.
It works similar to a QR code, except no camera is required. Just by bringing your smartphone an inch away from the embedded smart-chip found in your Happy Pot, a notification pops up directing you to the pre-programmed link of your choice.
Context-Specific Activations
Here’s a few ways we’ve applied this tech for some of our past clients.
🍝 For the restaurant industry, custom pots on each table may lead to an online version of the menu, or a review platform for a 5-star rating right after a delicious meal.
🎮 For the gaming and gambling industry, gifted pots in custom care packages for casino managers tap-link to information about a game provider’s latest product, along with an interactive game manual.
🏡 For the real estate industry, a plant pot on the living room table of every new tenant links to a ‘thank-you’ video from the agent welcoming the family into their new home.
📚 For a school or university, a pot which doubles as a desk organizer is gifted to students on arrival, with the Badge sporting the school’s logo linking each student to the online digital environment, where they may find resources, deadlines and upcoming events with a single tap.
🏝️ For hotels or B&Bs, Tap-Tech enabled pots link users to a document containing information about their stay, such as the Wi-Fi password, property guide, check-out times and a things-to-do section.
💍 For weddings, premium custom table-decor with the bride and groom’s initials serve a dual purpose. Each piece is fitted with Tap-Tech and is a take-home gift for each family, linking users to an online photo album of the wedding, forever immortalizing the beautiful occasion.
