Improve your TV ads

QR codes are a great way to increase engagement, drive traffic to your website, and measure offline to online conversions. They're also easy to implement on TV, which is a big win for advertisers.


QR codes can be placed on TV ads in just about every corner of the screen. You can use them as captions or logos during your commercial, put them in the lower third of the screen during a show, or even place them in the background of your video content's thumbnail images. QR on TV is easy to implement because they're mobile-friendly and don't require any extra equipment for scanning other than a phone with a camera built-in. This makes it easy for people to scan them quickly without having to type anything in or wait for something to load on their phone's browser.

Privacy is paramount

QR codes are more than just a way to contact someone. They can be used to send information, data, and links. QR codes are useful in marketing campaigns, eCommerce sites, and even social media. However, they can also be used for malicious purposes.


QR codes aren't secure and rely on the user to scan them correctly. If a company doesn't have adequate security measures in place, then customers could be at risk because of a compromised QR code. QR codes can be used to load URLS but they can also be used to modify contacts, compose email in your name, and more. These attacks can include malware, phishing, hardware hijacking, financial fraud, and more.


QR codes that aren't GDPR-compliant or CCPA-compliant are vulnerable to attack from hackers or other malicious actors who wish to use them for malicious ends. Flowcode’s custom QR codes provide the only GDPR and CCPA-compliant codes on the market.

Flowcode QR codes > black and white QR codes

QR codes are a great way to market your business. The codes can be printed on cards, brochures, flyers, and more. The codes act as a link between the physical world and the digital world, allowing you to measure offline to online conversions. However, not all QR codes are created equally - a boring circle QR code is not the same as a custom-designed one that fits your brand.


Flowcode has a team of designers who can create custom QR codes for you. These designers will work with you to create a code that fits your brand's aesthetic and purpose. For example, if you're running an advertising campaign for Valentine's Day, we can design a code that fits with that theme. If you have an existing logo or branding style, we'll match it perfectly so that your customers know exactly where they're going when they scan the code. These custom codes enhance QR on TV, QR on print, QR on OOH, QR on CTV, QR on DOOH, and more.
