QR Codes are Here to Stay

You’ve seen them before, those weird black-and-white squares that look like a cross between a checkerboard and a barcode. They’re called QR codes, one of the most valuable tools a business owner can have in their arsenal. QR codes can be used for everything from marketing to customer service, and they’re easy and inexpensive to make and use. This blog post will show you how to use QR codes for your business.

What is a QR Code?

A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that can be read by smartphones and other devices with camera functionality. When you scan a QR code with your phone, it will bring you to a website or other online content. QR codes can contain any type of information, including text, links, images, and locations.

How to Use QR Codes for Your Business

Businesses use QR codes in different ways.

• Put them on physical products. Use QR codes to give customers access to digital content like product manuals, how-to videos, or even special offers and coupons. Just put the QR code on product packaging or a sticker that’s included with the product.
• Use them in marketing materials. Include QR codes on flyers, business cards, posters, and email signatures so people can easily find your website or social media profiles. QR codes can even be used in a scavenger hunt or marketing campaigns.
• Use them in your brick-and-mortar store. Place QR codes around your store so people can get more information about specific products or services while shopping. Use them as part of an in-store loyalty program. For example, give customers points for every QR code they scan.
• Go above and beyond with customer service. If you run a brick-and-mortar business, place QR codes around your store so that customers can get help if they need it. For example, if someone is having trouble finding an item, they can scan a QR code and be taken to a page where they can chat with customer service or get more information about the store layout.
