Meet the sweet treat that is impossible to not take a picture of- Milkcraft’s ice cream. The Milkcraft creamery serves ice cream frozen with liquid nitrogen and scooped into a Hong Kong bubble cone. The treat receives so many well-deserved social mentions that the business won UPshow’s Most Engaging Quick-Serve location for the year of 2016! The added fun the UPshow screen brings in-venue to the frozen treat stop convinces customers to spend more time in venue to show off their creative goody.
Let’s take a look at the “UPshow Effect” at Milkcraft- highlighting a few posts that aren’t just customer photos, they’re customer promotions.
