QR Codes for Consumer Packaged Goods

A single QR code on your package can link to all your social media pages using a Flowpage. On a Flowpage, you can link to your best reviews and testimonials and provide contact information to your customer support and sales lines. You can also display educational content and encourage people to share your product through different incentives such as deals and rewards.

Using shelf talkers is a great application of QR for product information. Flowcode’s QRs are designed to fit your brand's aesthetic, making them more attractive than normal QRs. Flowcode also acts as a portal into the digital world, allowing you to display far more product information than a standard shelf talker. For example, once shoppers scan the QR, they can be directed to educational videos, testimonials, complimentary products, special offers, and even given the contact information for sales and customer service reps who can assist them in their purchase.

Using shelf talkers in tandem with Flowcode’s advanced analytics allows you to learn which QRs get the most interaction. If you want to go one step further, when someone scans a QR code for production information, it means there is at least some tacit interest in your product. If you place tracking software on your landing page, you’ll be able to retarget them with PPC ads through platforms like Google and Meta, meaning you can encourage them to buy another time. What other kind of shelf talker can do all of this?

If you work in consumer packaged goods, there’s a good chance you’re always handing out business collateral. Trade shows, in-store demos, and meetings with distributors all require you to hawk a ton of information. This is bulky and expensive. Therefore, rather than providing an avalanche of print collateral, why not have a stylish, branded QR code that people can scan instead? Here, you can provide and collect contact details. You can also share all the necessary production information that customers need to make decisions.

Remember, once someone scans a QR, they are effectively online. This means you can retarget them and gather important demographic information, assuming you have integrated the proper tracking software. QR scans can be facilitated either through placards, business cards, or through our Flowtag — a sticker that you can print and add to the back of your phone, making sharing information an aerodynamic, seamless experience.

Let’s face it, there are a ton of counterfeit products out there, especially in fashion. This is one reason why luxury brands turn to Flowcode as their preferred QR code for product authentication. Placing QR codes on consumer packaged goods gives customers peace of mind that what they’re buying is real.

Better yet, once someone authenticates their product, you also authenticate that they’re a product owner. Since they landed on an online page of yours, this means you can upsell them, collect data, and retarget them through online advertising.

Consumer packaged goods are all over TV. Whether that’s shopping, convenience, specialty, or unsought goods, television has historically been the way that consumers find out about the world’s most popular products. While television typically commands two-and-a-half times more attention than digital, where it falters is in its ability to gather data and move people measurably down the next part of the sales funnel.

Implementing a branded Flowcode with a strong CTA into your TV spots is a valuable way to move consumers deeper into the sales funnel while gathering actionable insights into their behavior. You can use these insights to improve your ads and even retarget them online using Meta or Google, for example.

You can also use a Flowcode to gather email addresses, encourage app downloads, take surveys, and offer specials, among a bunch of other capabilities. If there is a destination that you wish to send people to after they view your TV spot, let Flowcode get them there.
