Benefits of incorporating QR codes in stationery

Add a QR code to your printed materials to connect your audience to the online world. This simple addition can help increase the visibility of your stationery store and create a stronger impact with every marketing effort.

How much information can you include in a QR code? +

Traditional stationery often doesn’t have enough space for all the details you want to share. A QR code solves this problem. It can store up to 7,089 digits or 4,296 characters, including text, numbers, and web addresses. Keep in mind that the more data you add, the more complex the QR code becomes.

Personal use +

With a Divsly code, you can make your letters and invitations more engaging and informative. Add a video QR code to your greeting cards to link a music video or a surprise message. Use an event QR code on birthday invitations to share event details and let guests add them to their calendars. You can also include an image gallery QR code to share a photo collection of special moments from the event.

Commercial use +

Combining traditional stationery with QR code technology gives your marketing a modern, digital edge. Adding a QR code to your campaign creates a seamless connection between potential customers and your business, directing them to your social media, email, or other communication channels. It also lets you share engaging content such as images, games, sweepstakes, and exclusive discounts. QR codes enhance your marketing efforts by linking your offline materials to your online platforms and helping you reach a wider audience.

A renewed stationery store +

Office supplies such as pens, envelopes, and cards often have limited space for all the information you want to share. With a vCard QR code, you can instantly provide your contact details with just one scan. You can also include a coupon QR code on your postcards to offer seasonal discounts or special promotions. When distributing marketing materials, define your target audience, include a clear call to action (CTA), and track performance to measure the success of your QR code campaign.

Measure your campaign +

With our dynamic QR code tracking service, you can monitor how many people scan your codes and where those scans occur. You can easily generate detailed reports to view all your data in one place. These insights help you save time, refine your strategy, and optimize your campaign to ensure your message effectively reaches the right audience.
