The financial advisors at Mifintech wanted a better way to connect clients to their digital info and online platforms. So, they added a vCard Plus QR code to the top of their advertising letters. This made it easy for people to save their contact info on their phones. As a result, they got more calls and emails, more quote requests, and saw an increase in visits to their social media pages.

Property and housing agencies

Many people search for a new home without knowing all the options available. Real Build, a real estate agency, sends birthday greeting cards to clients by mail, using the info they’ve collected. Each card includes a PDF QR code that links to a digital catalog of available properties with photos. With one scan, clients can easily see everything the agency offers.

Medical and wellness services

The Health Clinic wanted a way to answer common patient questions about their services. They added a Video QR code to notebooks in the waiting room, giving quick access to a playlist of videos about the clinic’s specialties and procedures. Many patients took the notebooks home, watched the videos to get answers, and wrote down any remaining questions to ask later.

Cities and Cultural Events

To promote the city's anniversary celebrations, North City sent letters to residents with an Events QR code. This allowed neighbors to access all the event details, such as the music contest, retro party, local crafts fair, drive-in cinema, and independent theater day. With just a scan, people could save event times, dates, and locations directly to their mobile devices and add them to their digital calendar.
