Using QR codes on brochures, flyers, leaflets, and other printed marketing materials is an effective and convenient way to reach your customers. Businesses often use tangible adverts because they are easy to place at business premises or any other locations and often attract attention if placed in a visible place such as a counter or a stand. The main challenge is that nowadays brochures act as an instant reminder and often end up in bins quickly. There are many functions that traditional and old-school brochures can no longer perform and that is why QR codes are game-changers. QR codes make it possible to make printed materials interactive, more engaging and tracking QR code analytics makes marketing efforts measurable.
Here are the benefits of placing QR codes on brochures and other printed marketing materials:
Putting a QR code on flyers or brochures empowers consumers to scan to be able to get easy access to information straight in their cell phones. While most paper brochures end up in the bin after a few seconds of studying it, the link will be saved in the users' browser history and they will be able to visit the content behind the code anytime later. The scans are unlimited and the information behind the code can offer more than what can fit in one brochure. Using QR codes on brochures and flyers is proven to be an effective way to provide customers with a clear call-to-action and ensure they act on it.
Putting QR codes on flyers and brochures is cost-effective and is most likely to be much cheaper than the time and money the business will invest in designing and printing. If your business integrates QR codes into marketing campaigns and uses QR codes on brochures, then the cost for tracking and measuring your marketing campaigns will be more efficient.
QR codes take the minimum of space while offering a lot more information than can fit on the brochure. No need to waste paper and try hard to fit everything the business needs to mention.
Instead of printing all the necessary information, simply state the most important points and include a QR code with the rest of the information, essentials links, and other digital tools. A compact, stunning QR code will say it all while helping businesses reduce printing costs.
Dynamic QR codes can also be easily updated and the content can be changed in minutes by simply editing the code on the Supercode dashboard. No need to reprint brochures every time the business wishes to include new information.

Customers love scanning QR codes. It is quick, fun and exciting to scan! While people are very used to brochures and other print materials, QRs offer an innovative way to be informed and educated about products as well as to be connected to businesses. The novelty factor will inspire many people to scan the code and experience the digital extensions of old-school brochures.
Unlike brochures that end up being thrown away, scanned QR codes enable businesses to analyse the performance of each of the scans and the marketing campaign in general. The analytics dashboard on Supercode enables businesses and their marketing teams to track statistics and study how well the flyers with QR codes are performing. Access to data empowers businesses to make better decisions and invest in their best-performing campaigns.
Dynamic codes also enable businesses to simply update the QR codes on brochures without reprinting them, which makes brochures with QR codes a better investment for marketing teams.
When thinking of all possible creative use cases of QR codes on brochures, the sky's the limit. Whether the business wishes to provide customers with more information about the product, increase the number of followers on social media, drive traffic to a website or ask for some feedback, brochures and flyers with QR codes are very effective and deliver measurable results.
QR codes go beyond what the traditional brochure can do by adding PDFs, videos, and augmented reality experiences with more content and value. Since information is stored in the mobile phone, it is more accessible and can be saved for later instead of getting misplaced or thrown away. Using videos, stories, and interviews with audios and pictures will display an intriguing way to convey information that can't be done on a brochure alone.
Additionally, the content can be shared immediately and consumers are more likely to share video content than share content in print.
QR codes lead to e-commerce sites that increase sales directly as opposed to reading a brochure and mulling over going to the store to purchase. E-commerce has been on a steady incline for years and is only projected to continue. According to Business Insider, 45% of the e-commerce market is from m-commerce (shopping by mobile phones). Encourage easy communication between your company and customers by having a QR code on your brochures that scans directly to m-commerce stores. Widen your audience by sharing digital brochures through QR codes, that can be sent quickly between consumers and patients using their smartphones.
Increasing your brands’ popularity on social media platforms is done more efficiently with a QR code brochure.
Traditional and plain brochures cannot establish a connection with customers and encourage them to find and follow your business on social media instantly. By including a QR code on brochures that automatically takes a customer to Twitter, Instagram, Youtube or any other social media platform is a more effective way to increase your number of followers.
Asking for feedback is not easy and ensuring that customers take action and provide the business with feedback is even harder. Traditional brochures are not very effective for asking for ratings and comments about services. By including a Supercode feedback QR code on flyers, your business can increase reviews from customers, with higher response rates and measurable results with Supercode's dashboard with analytics.
To make it even more appealing, offer an incentive, such as a discount or a free product. To learn more about how to ask for feedback with QR codes, follow these tips in our blog.
Customers know what to expect from a brochure and mainly see print materials as advertising. By including QR codes on print materials and brochures, businesses can offer more value and more interesting content. Get creative and consider including a video, an MP3 recording, a music file from iTunes, or a link to a podcast to offer more in-depth information about your services.
Adding a discount or a coupon to your brochure will give customers an immediate incentive to make a purchase. It is a great way to drive your potential customers to your website, e-commerce stores, or apps where they can make a purchase in a few clicks.
Brochures often act as an advertisement that pushes customers to take a step closer to making a purchase. People do not, however, spend a lot of time studying brochures these days. Instead, they glance at it and take action only if the call-to-action attracts their attention straight away. That is why using printed materials and brochures in combination with companion digital assets, like an app, is an effective way to incentivise customers to download an app and increase the number of online sign-ups.
