If utilized properly, QR codes can be a powerful marketing tool to help drive more sales and traffic to your business. When creating a QR code, you have option to embed just about any information you want including: contact information, phone number, URL to your mobile website or link to specific web page. With so many options to use QR codes, here are my top 10 ways to use QR codes for your business.
Print Ads – When people scan your advertisement, they can be taken to a specific landing page on your mobile website. The key here is “mobile website” sending someone to page that is not optimized for mobile, defeats the purpose of scanning with a phone.
Price tags – When someone scan the code, they can be redirected to a product or specification page with more details about the item or service.
Business Cards – When users scan your business card, they can be redirected to your website and/or your contact information can be saved in their address book.
Email Blasts – Peak the curiosity of your email base with a special offer that can be accessed by the QR only. When scanned, your customer can be redirected to a special offer.
Teaser Postcard – By inserting a QR on a postcard, you will peak a potential new clients interest to your products or services. The QR code can redirect them to your company mobile website, about us page or contact form.
Business Invoices – Include a QR on invoices that you mail or email to clients. Clients can be redirected to a URL with new products, mobile coupons or additional services available.
For Sale Signs – For real-estate agents, car sales etc… Redirect people to photo galleries, YouTube videos or specification sheet. It’s like having a 24-hour a day sales assistant.
Social Media – Create a QR code that automatically redirects people to your Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter page etc…
Contests – Create a QR that redirects users to a mobile contest page. Users can then enter their details to be entered into your draw or promotion.
Restaurants – Use a QR on table cards and take out menus. You can have the code store the restaurant phone number, hours of operation, menu items, daily specials, nutritional information etc…
With some creative thinking, anyone can come up with different ideas on how best to utilize QR-codes for their own use.
