3 Ways QR Codes Can Help Small Businesses Get Customers

‍

How do small businesses use QR codes?

Small business owners know how important it is to maintain a strong online presence, whether that means building lasting relationships with customers via social media and email campaigns or an e-store that allows customers to order a product or service from the comfort of their own homes. These efforts often require investing lots of time, energy, and money. Recently, business owners have been turning to QR codes.

Businesses can use Flowcode QR codes to create connections between their offline, brick-and-mortar locations and their online offerings. From seamlessly sending customers to an online retail option to collecting payments or contact information, Flowcodes provide small businesses with endless ways to build strong relationships with clients and capitalize on their online presence, helping you own your flow.

From boosting giveaways to displaying codes in your store, here are a few ways small businesses can harness the power of QR codes to enhance the customer experience:

1. QR codes integrate into your marketing materials

‍

While a lot of advertising occurs online now, many small businesses still use printed marketing materials and outdoor ads to activate potential customers and raise brand awareness with local audiences.

It can be challenging to create sustained engagement. Outdoor ads can be forgotten in a second, and mailers quickly end up in recycling bins without most recipients making an effort to complete a call to action.

Including a Flowcode on printed promotional materials makes it easy for people to connect with your online experience with a quick scan, ensuring your marketing investments are cost-effective and memorable.

With logo integration and lots of design options, Flowcodes can be customized to match your branding. Small businesses can also use advanced analytics to track which marketing is most effective and fine-tune their campaigns.

2. Display QR codes in your store

‍

‍

Small businesses can display Flowcodes in their physical locations to give customers an offline-to-online shopping experience. For example, restaurant owners can use Smart Rules to have their code scan to a lunch menu during the day and to a dinner menu at night. This eliminates the need to manually update the scan destination each time, or create different codes.

Prompt customers to scan the Flowcode and send them to your social media accounts to keep up with any new products or sales or direct them to your e-store for an online shopping experience.

The Flowcode store is your gateway to the best print options  for any occasion, so you don’t have to settle for plain old printer paper. With built-to-last window clings, stickers, table tents, and more, you can proudly and effectively display your Flowcodes.
