QR Codes on Displays

1. Optimize marketing campaigns

A well-designed, eye-catching display gets your business noticed, but QR Codes are the cost-effective, versatile and easy to implement way of boosting your business by increasing traffic to your website, offering discounts, providing an easy store location finder and boosting app downloads.

QR Codes can become a valuable asset in your omnichannel marketing strategy by helping you streamline your different online platforms. You can build better customer relationships directly from your printed displays with the Social Media QR Code, which connects to all of your different social media accounts and lets your contacts choose their favorite way to follow you. Once scanned, the QR Code can take your audience behind the scenes by explaining or enhancing what you are saying on print with either a series of videos or a great audio file. They truly are the definition of show and tell.

QR Codes can also give you more opportunities to increase the volume of sales as a whole at your POS display. Guide customers to your online store with an appropriate CTA and a Dynamic URL QR Code, which not only increases your web traffic but also establishes a relationship with your customers beyond the store shelves.

Maybe one of the best things for your audience is the fact that they can scan the Code, save it and go back to look at it later at their own convenience or when they have WiFi or better reception.

2. Enhance storytelling

Storytelling improves communication with your audience. Numbers and statistics look good on display and definitely provide the data to support your product or service, but it can only get you so far. When it comes to creating memorable content and improving the communication of your ideas, proof stories and examples create an authentic experience. Over 90% of people believe suggestions from friends and family over advertisements and 88% trust online reviews.

You can create an album of testimonials with the Image Gallery QR Code, connect your audience to your product’s life before the shelf with a Video QR Code, or to people’s social activism related to your brand’s cause on any social media platform with a Social Media QR Code.

3. Track your marketing campaign’s effectiveness

If a QR Code is printed on an advertisement display and no one is around to see it, does it make a sound? How do you know it reached your audience?

Well, a Dynamic QR Code opens a world of possibilities in that regard, chief among them is the tool to monitor statistical values that are vital to optimizing your marketing campaign by seeing what did and did not work with your QR Code. In addition to gathering the frequency of scans and unique scans, you will get information about the location, date, time, device, and operating system used for each one. With this real-time data, you will always be up to date on your QR Code’s performance success. Find out more about all the benefits you can glean from our tracking feature here.

1. Add instructions

One big mistake QR Code users have made in the past is printing them without a short written explanation of what the consumer would gain or learn from scanning one. Make sure to incentivize your consumers to scan your Code, or else all your marketing efforts will be for naught.

2. Frame it

With our customizable frames, you can make your QR Code complement your creative design. When generating your Code, you will be offered a wide variety of ready-made frames with different Call to Action (CTA) messages and color options from which to select. If you want to add personalized details, you have the option of customizing even more by choosing a different shape, a different icon, and even adding your own text. Check-out our guide to QR Code frames here.

3. Add a logo inside your QR Code

Once you have selected a frame option and customized your Code’s shape and color, you can choose to incorporate a brand image or company logo at the center of your QR Code. Our system automatically detects the best and largest size for uploaded logos to make sure QR Codes remain scannable, so you do not have to worry about making the correct adjustments.

4. Save your designs

Reuse the same, branded QR Code design without fretting about recreating an old one manually. QR Code Generator PRO allows you to save all your designs as templates, so you can reuse them for any of your marketing or service endeavors.

5. Customizable URL

By default, every Dynamic QR Code gets a random short URL that redirects to any page you want when the QR Code is scanned. The short URL can be customized to your preference, using your company’s name, for example, to help you stand out from competitors and build more trust among users. Follow these steps if you would like to edit your short URL.

6. Test before printing

The minimum recommended printing size for a QR Code on any marketing material is 2 x 2 cm (about 0.8 x 0.8 in). From there, you can always make it bigger, but we do not recommend going smaller as it would render your Code unscannable or even unnoticeable. Elaborate designs and low color contrast, or a large number of encoded characters require a larger printing size. To ensure your Code is perfectly readable, you should do extensive field testing with various smartphones and apps, which gives you the assurance that every user will be able to scan your Code.
