How QR codes help business
How can Designer QR codes help my business? What can I use them for?
We’ve broken this down into 3 stages:
- STAGE 1 - basic use of designer QR codes
- STAGE 2 - next level uses
- STAGE 3 - advanced uses
Of course, this is changing every day as people find new uses for designer QR code technology, and certain sectors may wish to tackle advanced uses immediately – ultimately, the choice is yours.
STAGE 1 USES
On business cards – direct scanners to your online resume, small business Facebook page or website, to import your contact info
On marketing material – brochures, fliers, programs, handouts, powerpoints, conference name tags and so on. Qr codes will direct scanners to where you want them to go
On product packaging – does your product needs installation? A QR code can lead it straight to a how-to video, (helps sell product, help with install, help reduce call-centre traffic)
A Flickr photo set or Twitter feed
A mobile friendly landing page that promotes a new product or campaign
QR code window decals/newspaper/magazine ads
Point of sale information – source, specials, recipes, etc.
