Nothing. He leaves, and that's it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out why adding a QR code to your poster can make all the difference for your business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Collect Google reviews in just a few seconds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is probably the most powerful feature for a local business. Rather than hoping your customers will remember to leave a review later, you give them the chance to do so right there, in 20 seconds<\/strong>, while they\u2019re waiting or before they leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A QR code that links to your Google My Business listing, displayed prominently at the checkout or in your storefront, can triple or quadruple your reviews in just a few months. If you want to find out why putting a QR code on your poster is a must-have strategy for local businesses <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Share your menu, food list, or catalog<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Are you changing your prices? Does your menu change with the seasons? Instead of reprinting it every time, the QR code links to an online page that you can update at any time. The poster stays the same; the content changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal for: restaurants, pizzerias, food trucks, wine shops, butchers, and caterers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Link to your Instagram or Facebook page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An event poster (for a party, promotion, or activity) is much more effective when it encourages people to follow you. The QR code takes them directly to your profile\u2014no need to type in a URL or search for your name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Launch a promotion or a contest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Promo codes, giveaways, subscriber-exclusive offers\u2026 QR codes bridge the gap between physical posters and your digital offerings. You can even track scans to measure the effectiveness of your campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Present a product through a video or demonstration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A poster for a new product, service, or training program? The QR code can link to a YouTube video or a detailed information page. You can share much more than what fits on the poster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The golden rules for an effective QR code on a poster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Minimum size: 2.5 cm \u00d7 2.5 cm.<\/strong> If the size is smaller than this, readability may vary depending on the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maximum contrast.<\/strong> Dark QR code on a light background, or light QR code on a dark background \u2014 never on a complex background or an image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Test before printing.<\/strong> Scan using multiple phones (Android, iPhone, different apps) before finalizing your file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a call to action.<\/strong> \u201cScan to leave a review,\u201d \u201cView the menu,\u201d \u201cFollow us\u201d\u2026 People are more likely to scan when they know what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check that the link works.<\/strong> It may seem obvious, but a QR code that leads to a 404 page or an expired URL happens more often than you might think. For all these reasons, don\u2019t forget to find out why adding a QR code to your poster can transform your digital communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
