Using QR codes for luxury brands has many advantages regarding authenticity, traceability, increasing the flow of traffic to social media sites, and showing off authentic creativity through augmented reality (AR) experiences. The more information a consumer has about their exclusive product, the more incentive they have to purchase. QR codes can be used in any luxury industry such as fashion, vehicles, yachts, planes, and more. Tell a story and protect against counterfeiting all at once.

Benefits of Using QR Codes for Luxury Brands

1. It’s reassuring for clients

Transparency in the luxury consumer goods sector has been increasing over time because consumers love to know where their products came from, what the materials are, the working practices, and know products are quality driven with proof of authenticity. When goods are certified it adds value to them. Placing a QR code on tags and individual pieces of clothing and accessories gives every item its own unique digital identity. Adding a digital identity to every piece will ensure your customers that items are not counterfeit and they have their own special worth. Being able to trace the origins of fabric and other materials, as well as where their items come from is important to consumers who purchase high-end goods.

2. It's easy to make with customizable designs

Supercode allows users to customize striking QR code designs with your brand logo and colors. Pair up with your favorite artist or designer on your marketing team to create an eye-catching code that will attract customer attention.

3. It's simple to promote AR experiences

To show clothes on models, fashion show experiences, drivers experiencing luxury vehicles in exotic places, have consumers scan a QR code. This can send consumers to a landing page or a YouTube video that features updated campaigns about the latest season's styles, products, new luxury car models, and more.

4. It amplifies personalized shopping experiences

For personalized shopping experiences, vCard QR codes allow for clients to connect with personal shopping assistants and salespeople for luxury vehicles and yachts directly. Moreover, they make it easy to direct customers to landing pages where they can customize clothes, accessories, and cars and yachts, online and special request them at any location.

5. It empowers unprecedented marketing campaigns

Marketing campaigns nowadays go beyond one-dimensional advertising. Linking QR codes to any campaign heightens the capabilities to allure customer attention and loyalty. Incorporate QR codes for intensifying videos with customizable experiences, adding contests with high-end prizes like trips for loyal clients, and having original music composed in campaigns in creative ways to accomplish positive marketing returns on investment.

Applications for QR Codes for Luxury Brands

1. Raise brand awareness

QR codes inspire people to take a step further to scan the code and see what is on the other side. Scanning QR codes that lead to websites educates consumers and is more powerful than just having general knowledge of the brand. Knowing the history and philanthropies of luxury brands makes purchasing even more special.

2. Track valuable fashion items 

Since luxury goods are expensive, people tend to invest in security or pay for insurance. With QR codes, security and traceability are possible. Apps for high-end products that get stolen like handbags are a great example. Customers can download an app and scan the QR code on the bag to register it. If someone steals the bag it is traceable by the app.

3. Offer services from personal shoppers and stylists 

QR codes can be placed on windows or vinyl stickers on windows or on business cards to link personal shoppers and stylists together with interested customers. Clients can scan a business card with QR code and receive contact information straight to their phones, or a social media QR code to see styling ideas about their work.

4. Promote online and offline events 

QR codes placed on invitations, products, in-store brochures, and window displays as well as in magazines are powerful when it comes to promoting both online and offline events. Many companies invest in AR and VR experiences like fashion shows and private events with designers or artists and QR codes are an innovative way to spread the word about them.

5. Create a QR code payment system

Use QR codes for payment systems. When luxury brands ask for personal information, the QR code can transmit that immediately.

6. Make it a part of your digital marketing campaign

Use QR codes as part of your digital campaign on billboards, magazine advertisements, store windows, and on merchandise itself for styling advice, looks, AR and VR experiences, and more. These campaigns are also more shareable amongst users who scan QR codes, whereas looking at a one-dimensional billboard is not as easily shared.
