QR codes for cities and tours are an innovative way to share public information for various industries. Use QR codes to update the public about construction schedules and roadblocks, give educational information for ecological parks, and place codes on national landmarks to educate people more about the history of the landmark and the place it's in. Even include relevant maps and city or organization contact information for people to interact with you! Whether displaying information about an event, city, tourism, showtimes, schedules, festivals, construction or anything else, QR codes are beneficial for sending information to the person who scans, fast.
Placing QR codes in public places broadcasts information to anyone and everyone who chooses to scan the QR code and receive it. People who are interested in public events and historical information will now be able to receive information too lengthy or detailed to place on public signs. Or evoke people to scan the QR code by creating an eye-catching design with an incentive such as finding out about free public events they will enjoy or discounted ticket codes. Now it is easier to announce seasonal festivals and events people may not have known about before.
Change the information you want to convey as often as desired with a dynamic QR code. No more changing signs and using printing and labor costs. Change schedules and other information effortlessly.
Using QR codes for maps or to download apps with city tours, is a fantastic way to welcome new people. Having public information in various tourist locations, shopping, and public transportation lines will be useful and convenient for new people, or even anyone seeking information they didn't know before.
Smartphones have translating options so when a QR code is scanned to tourist information, it can be translated to the language of their choice. This removes any language barriers on printed materials for foreigners and for people who don't speak English. This convenience is an added value for tourists to travel with ease.
Printing a QR code where paper and ink materials gave information before, is the more eco-friendly and sustainable option. Paper materials get thrown away or thrown on the ground and are bad for the environment. With QR code technology, it's now possible to scan and share information with a more sustainably responsible outcome.
Are you interested in tracking the number of scans from your QR code? Every scan is tracked so you can measure your QR codes' success. QR code tracking is the best way to scale the results of your campaigns.
