Benefits of incorporating QR codes on posters

A well-designed poster quickly grabs attention and delivers your message effectively. By adding a QR code, you can make your campaign even more engaging. It helps attract new customers and provides instant access to details about your products and services. With just a quick scan on their mobile devices, customers can easily connect with your brand and learn more.

Create expectations +

Turn your advertising posters into interactive experiences with QR codes. Like the “Us” movie campaign, a QR code can link your printed ad to a digital experience, offering exclusive content such as behind-the-scenes videos, interviews, or interactive games. Musicians can share songs or podcast interviews using an MP3 QR code. You can also use a dynamic URL QR code to direct people to your website, social media, or any web page. Make your poster engaging, creative, and fun!

Expand your audience +

In today’s digital world, following a brand or account is quick and easy, but you need to give people a reason to stay connected. If you have a great product, project, song, event, or film, adding a QR code to your poster is a perfect way to promote it. With a link listing QR code, you can connect all your social media channels in one place. The QR code lets people choose where to engage with you, helping you grow your audience and build stronger connections.

Make the facts available +

Posters are essential in entertainment, academia, and business, and QR codes make them even more effective. At conferences or fairs, a PDF QR code can link attendees to additional materials such as research papers or brochures. You can also share digital catalogs, e-books, and more. With just one scan, users can save these files to their devices. For conventions, an image gallery QR code lets you showcase your work or products from multiple angles.

Manage events +

Posters are great for grabbing attention, but to keep it, you need to encourage people to take action. With an event QR code, you can share key details about your event, such as the date, time, location, and a link to buy tickets or RSVP. The page, accessible on any mobile device, also lets guests save the event to their calendars or contact you for more information.

Track your campaign +

If you don’t track your campaign results, you can’t improve it. Our dynamic QR codes let you monitor key data to optimize your marketing efforts. You’ll receive insights on scan frequency, location, date, time, device, and operating system. This data helps you understand what’s working and make adjustments to your strategy when needed.
