How QR Codes Can Supercharge Your Small Business Marketing
This guide shows where to place codes, how to craft a clear call to action, what to measure, and how to iterate campaigns for better ROI.
1. Choose the Right Use Case
Link scans to high-intent actions like booking, ordering, downloading, or following; keep each code focused on one outcome.
2. Design for Action
Use a readable frame text like Scan to Save 20%, maintain contrast, and add a short URL preview page for trust.
3. Place Strategically
Put codes at eye level on packaging, receipts, window signs, and event booths; avoid moving surfaces or glare that hurt scanning.
Clear context plus a strong call to action multiplies scan rates and conversions.
4. Measure and Improve
Track scans by location and time, A/B test frames and offers, and retire weak placements quickly.
5. Keep the Experience Fast
Use mobile-first landing pages, compress images, and prefill forms to reduce drop-off after the scan.
