Using a QR code display will add a three-dimensional touch to any marketing campaign. Whereas print only marketing can only give a one-dimensional experience, jazzing up a display with a tastefully designed QR code sending people to an augmented reality (AR) experience, will capture consumer attention more acutely. Tracking efforts will be more effective when incorporating QR codes as well, whereas previously there was little ability to track printed marketing campaigns alone. Now it's possible to drive more traffic to websites, social media, informative materials, m-commerce sites, and any landing sites that inform to build consumer trust.
In shopping malls where sales change from day to day, information on displays can be edited with dynamic QR codes. This is beneficial because the physical code does not need to be reprinted in public places, saving time, labor, and money. Just update changes on the backend and keep the physical code as-is. This is also great for restaurants with changing daily specials on menus.
QR codes can be printed on many different types of surfaces for your display. These codes can be placed in public where waiting and lines are common, to engage consumers and boost traffic to your landing pages. They can also be displayed privately in your shop or on the patio so your customers can have easy access to the information given. Check out our best QR code printing guide for successful codes every time.
A QR code sign placed on busy walking streets and other public places are beneficial for capturing a broader audience, outside the scope of your current client base, which has the potential to increase sales revenue in the long and short term. In addition, an outstanding design of the QR code sign will attract even more attention.
Unlike with print-only marketing campaigns, QR code displays can be analyzed on the Supercode analytics dashboard. Every scan is tracked to help you scale where your traffic is coming from. QR code tracking is automatically done with dynamic QR codes, which are also editable so you won't have to reprint a new code to make changes on the back end.
Since a QR code sign can be used for educating, AR experiences, shopping, following social media, menus, and more, there is no limit to what you can route to customers. Add a QR code display to any campaign strategy with a clear call-to-action depending on your goal for that specific campaign.
There are many ways to increase engagement rates with a QR code sign. Here are some ideas:
Use a QR code display for your menu outside of restaurants, bars, and cafes to advertise daily specials, happy hour schedules and promotions, full menus, live music event information, and even check-in to reserve a table on a waiting list.
Use a QR code display in shopping districts to advertise the top 5 or 10 sales in that area. Since dynamic QR codes are easily editable, keep the same physical code on display and change the information as often as necessary. When people feel they are getting the most up-to-date sales information conveniently, they get excited to shop. Paper adverts become outdated as soon as inventory has been sold. Additionally, consumers can keep the information on their mobile phones while they are walking around.
Place a professional-looking QR code display outside of conferences, networking events and meet-ups, private art exhibitions, and social gatherings for easy check-in to measure the attendance at social events. A bonus is placing another QR code display on the way out for feedback to see how people enjoyed speakers, food and beverages, what they thought of the parking situation, the venue, and anything else you want to know, with star ratings and optional comments and contact information.
Create an eye-catching QR code sign to interest the public and educate them with AR experiences regarding your next show or event. Add e-commerce sites where audiences can buy e-tickets and consult schedules and showtimes.
