QR codes connect your printed marketing to the online world. One scan can take someone to your booking page, menu, reviews or special offer. Used well, they make print far more measurable and useful.
Great uses for QR codes
- Booking pages for salons, restaurants, gyms and classes
- Menus and price lists that you can update online
- Reviews: link straight to your Google review page
- Social media: follow us on Instagram or Facebook
- Special offers with a dedicated landing page to track results
- Contact details that save straight to someone's phone
- Product information, instructions or videos
Where to put them
Business cards, flyers, posters, table talkers, window clings, roller banners, product labels and vehicle signs (for passengers, never drivers).
Tips for QR codes that work
- Tell people why to scan, like "Scan to book" or "Scan for 10% off".
- Make it big enough. Around 2cm square is a sensible minimum on small print, and much bigger on posters and banners.
- Keep good contrast: dark code on a light background.
- Leave a clear border around the code.
- Link to a mobile-friendly page. Nothing's worse than a scan that leads to a hard-to-use site.
- Test it on a few different phones before printing.
- Use a link you control, so you can update the destination without reprinting.
