Where a QR code earns its place
A code works when the person is already holding the phone and standing still. That is why the best places for one are almost always physical and unhurried: a table, a window, a package, the bottom of a receipt, the back of a business card, the corner of a printed menu. Codes on billboards and on the side of moving vehicles look impressive and are almost never scanned.
Give the code somewhere to land. A code that opens a home page makes the visitor start their search from scratch; a code that opens the exact menu, product or booking form finishes the job the poster started. Because the destination is a page you control, you can change what sits behind the same printed code whenever the campaign changes.
Before you print a thousand of them
Almost every problem with a printed code is a printing problem, not a scanning problem. Five minutes of checking saves a reprint.
- Test it with two different phones, and once in daylight and once under indoor light.
- Keep the quiet margin — the empty space around the square. Codes cropped tight to a design fail more often than any other kind.
- Do not print it smaller than about two centimetres on paper, or twenty on a poster people read from across a room.
- Keep contrast high and do not invert the colours: a light code on a dark background fails on many older cameras.
- Write one line of text under it saying what happens when it is scanned. People scan far more readily when they know where they are going.
Make it yours
A code with your logo in the middle and your brand colour reads as part of the material it is printed on rather than a sticker somebody slapped on. It also tells the person that the code was put there by you, which matters more every year as fake codes stuck over real ones become a common scam.
Generate one from any page or link you already have, or read how the link in bio page works if you do not have a destination yet.
