NailSignal™:
The Art of Movement Timing
NailSignal™ is structured micro-movement branding that places the right message on the right finger at the exact moment a guest is already looking.


When hands move, attention follows.
The Core Problem Most Venues Miss
❌ Posters
❌ Table talkers
❌ Wall signage
❌ Verbal upsell scripts
Static messaging competes for attention.
Hands do not.
If hands move, attention moves with them.
Most venues waste that surface.
Venues rely on static messaging:
Guests naturally watch:
👉 When drinks are served
👉 When menus are pointed at
👉 When change is handed over
👉 When a toast happens
What NailSignal™ Actually Is
Right Hand
• Four fingers: “BUY 4”
• Thumb: 1
Left Hand
• Four fingers: “FREE”
• Thumb: Beer brand logo
NailSignal™ is structured finger-based messaging.
Activation sequence
1️⃣ Wiggle four fingers (Buy 4)
2️⃣ Pause for eye contact
3️⃣ Raise opposite four fingers (Get)
4️⃣ Hold up thumb (Free)
5️⃣ Finish with branded thumbs-up


No pressure.
No shouting.
No awkward sales pitch.
Just controlled timing.
The brain completes the sentence.
Human attention locks onto
👉 Movement
👉 Proximity
👉 Pattern completion
👉 Eye contact
👉 Smiles


Why This Works
Hands sit inside all five.
When the guest smiles, the branded thumb seals the message.
If they photograph the moment, FlashSignal™ activates organically.
This is choreographed visibility.
