Using QR Codes in Web Banners

Many companies use web banners to promote their products and services. You can make your banner more effective by adding a Divsly code. This lets users scan and quickly access more info, your social media, contact details, videos, podcasts, and more.

Benefits of incorporating QR codes in Web banners

Ads on websites and apps are very popular, so it's important to make the most of them. Web banner marketing helps you connect potential customers to your digital platforms in a simple and effective way. It reaches a wide audience and makes it easy for users to access links to coupons, online stores, apps, or event invites.

An effective way to advertise on the web +

Web banners are digital ads placed on web pages, usually with more images than text. They come in different sizes and shapes, and can appear as pop-ups or in fixed spots on a page. Their main goal is to drive traffic to a website—when users click the banner, they're taken to a landing page. That’s why it’s important to make them eye-catching. By adding a QR code, your banner becomes even more interactive and engaging.

Enhance your web banners +

Web banners are good for sharing website links, but not as helpful for giving access to specific content. For example, if you want more people to download your app, a regular banner just sends them to a page with more info. They’d still have to search for the app in the store themselves. But by adding an Apps QR code, you make it easy—people can scan it and go straight to the download page in the right app store (like Google Play or Amazon Appstore), which can help boost downloads.

Increase your followers +

Today, many marketing campaigns grow through social media interactions. By linking your web banner to your social accounts using our Link Listing QR code, you can boost your brand presence, get more likes, and reach new followers. This is especially useful if you’re on multiple platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok, as the code brings them all together in one easy scan..

Call users to action +

The internet offers endless possibilities, and a QR code can help guide users straight to what you want them to see or do. A Dynamic URL QR code can take them directly to your online clothing store. If you're a musician, an MP3 QR code can lead to a sample track and, with a custom button, to a store where they can buy your full album. If you offer a technical service, a Business QR code can share your contact info or a quote request form. And if you're a visual artist or photographer, an Image Gallery QR code is a great way to show your work.

Edit it when you need +

A great benefit of using dynamic QR codes is that you can edit them anytime. You can update the link, add new images, or change the design without creating a new code. There's no need to redo everything when you want to make changes.

Customizable for each design +

Our Divsly code generator lets you customize your QR codes to match your brand’s style. You can use your brand colors, choose custom frames and borders, add your logo or another image in the center, and include a call to action (CTA) to encourage people to scan. Divsly codes also work on any type of media—they’re adjustable in size, and you can choose the image file format when downloading.

QR code tracking in real time +

If you want to see how effective your ad was, our dynamic QR codes can help. While web banners track clicks, QR codes give you even more data in real time—like where and when the code was scanned, what device and system were used, and how many scans it got. This helps you understand how well your QR code is working and make improvements for future campaigns.

Top ways to incorporate QR codes for Web Banners

When designing your QR code for banner ads, make sure to consider a few important details to get the best results.

1
Customize your design

With Divsly, you can customize your QR code to match your brand’s style and help boost brand awareness. After creating your code, you can choose from a range of frames, ready-made CTA messages, and colors to catch people’s attention. You can also add your own icon or logo, change the shape, and include custom text for a more personal touch.

2
Use the right size

When making your QR code, remember the minimum recommended size is 2 x 2 centimeters, whether it's digital or printed. It's best not to go smaller, but you can make it bigger to keep it easy to scan. To make sure everyone can use it, test the QR code with different smartphone models and apps.

3
Add a call to action

Many people forget an important detail when using QR codes: adding a short message to explain what the user will get by scanning it. When you create your QR code with QRFY, make sure to include a small note or incentive, so people know what to expect and are more likely to scan it—this helps make your campaign more effective.
