What are QR codes and what are they for?
These square codes are similar to the barcodes of products which open a link by scanning them with a mobile phone. The camera of the iPhone, as well as those of other smartphones, already incorporate a code scanner. Otherwise, there are many pre-installed apps to read such codes, so it is increasingly accessible and used more.
QR codes are increasingly useful. For instance, if you run a restaurant and you upload the menu on the webpage, creating a code that when scanned with a reader opens it, avoids touching the menu with hands as well as not waiting for the waiter to come to the table.
How can I create one?
You solely need to go to a free QR code generator and create a personalized and unique code that leads to the link (destination URL) you want. You can do it in less than 5 minutes, and as much as you want.
What do I do with this QR code?
Download the QR code (it's a JPG or PNG image) and paste it into an EDIT design. Then you can print it or publish it on social networks, well visible to the public, so that your customers can scan it with a smartphone and access your products, services, or information that you want to communicate.
Here are some tips on how to get the most out of your business:
QR for restoration
- To avoid contact with printed menus, or to speed up and save time, create your menu online and connect it with a QR code, which you can insert into a template that says "Scan the code to see the menu".
- You can upload your menu on your website, but if you don't have a website, don't worry, it's as easy as uploading it to Facebook, Pinterest or any social network where you can upload images.
- In addition, in EDIT you can find many predesigned menus in sheet sized format with the space to insert your code.
- If you ship at home, take away or order online, you can also find customizable designs where to include your QR.
- If you have a bar, giving access to Wi-Fi through this type of code will give an image of modernity while preventing customers from constantly asking the waiters for the password.
QR for clothing stores
- If yours is fashion, you can create a QR code for your entire store, but also a code for the best deals, scannable on site, within the store.
- You could even create one for featured products or to showcase your store's sustainable values.
- The information behind fashion is increasingly demanded, both the origin of materials as well as the labor employed or the carbon produced for transport.
- Besides, you can also encode any element that you usually use, such as gift cards, thus being more digital and transferable than ever.
QR for small businesses and services
- If you have a small business, sell products, offer services, or are simply working in an office, QR codes can be useful in many cases.
- For the presentation of your company. Include this sort of code in the header of your facebook page, on a business card, or print it on a poster for the entrance of your space or the showcase of your premises.
- You can include a link to your website, or to the next event you organize, to special seasonal discounts, your schedules... There are endless possibilities.
- To book hours for services such as hairdressers, physical therapists or mechanics for example, it will be very useful to include one in the schedule poster or on your social media accounts. You can set it to open a website for online reservations, a WhatsApp chat or even to make a call.
- In fact, you can generate a link that leads to any type of information that is online, just as they do in some art exhibitions or museums, or even in schools. Have you considered gamifying your school with codes that lead to trivia games? Or include codes in your room escape with tests?
