grid_view Uses of QR codes in marketing

link

Link to landing page or website

The classic use: a URL QR on your outdoor advertising, flyer or packaging that takes the user directly to the campaign landing page, with UTM parameters to measure conversions.

campaign

Exclusive coupons and discounts

Include a QR on packaging or at the point of sale that leads to an exclusive offer page. The QR acts as a "gateway" to the discount, generating urgency and exclusivity.

star

Reviews and social proof

A QR on the receipt or post-purchase packaging leading directly to the Google, Trustpilot or Amazon review form exponentially increases positive ratings.

share

Social media followers

Generate a QR with the link to your Instagram, LinkedIn or any social media profile to turn your printed materials into a follower generator.

email

Lead capture via email or SMS

A pre-filled email or SMS QR activates the sales conversation from any printed material. The customer contacts you with one scan.

analytics

Offline campaign measurement

Use a QR with UTM parameters in the URL to measure exactly how many people scan the QR on each material, when and from where, in Google Analytics.

help_outline FAQ

Use a URL with UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign) as the QR destination. Google Analytics will record each visit with those parameters, allowing you to measure exactly how many users arrived via the QR, which pages they visited and whether they converted.
For campaigns where you need flexibility (being able to change the destination without reprinting the QR) or detailed scan analytics (number of scans, time, device), a dynamic QR is better. For campaigns with a tight budget and fixed destination, a free static QR with UTM URL and Google Analytics offers sufficient metrics without platform cost.
Place the QR where it is easy to scan: preferably in the lower right area of the design, with a minimum size of 2.5×2.5 cm, good contrast and surrounded by white space (quiet zone). Always add a call-to-action next to the QR: "Scan to see the offer" or "Point your camera for more info" significantly increases the scan rate.
Yes. Generate a URL QR with the link to your Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok or any social media profile. For Instagram, the profile link works better than a link to a specific post, as it may change or expire. A social media QR on the product packaging is a very effective way to gain followers effortlessly.
Yes, as long as you maintain sufficient contrast between the QR dots and the background, and do not cover the three position patterns (the corner squares). Our custom QR generator lets you add brand colours, logos and shapes without compromising readability.
