Use QR codes to grow your social followings

QR codes are a powerful tool to drive traffic to your website and social channels. They’re easy to create and scan, and they can be placed anywhere. To make it even easier for customers to follow you on social media, you can put QR codes on your business cards, packaging, or websites.


You can also use QR codes in your marketing campaigns. Create unique codes for each campaign that direct them directly to the social profile of your choice. Or if you want more control over where people end up when they scan your code, we have options for that too!

Use QR codes to accessorize your garments

QR codes on clothing tags are a great way to add information to your items. You can include links to videos, your website, social media pages, and more. If you are using hang tags for security purposes, you can also use QR codes to display a unique ID number for each item that has been tagged.


In addition to displaying information about your product or brand, there are many other uses for QR codes in retail stores. They can be used for lead generation purposes by putting them on brochures or print ads, where customers can scan them with their smartphones and sign up for a newsletter or enter a contest.

Use QR codes to collect more 5 star reviews

Reviews are a powerful way to build trust with customers, and they're also a great way to collect instant feedback from customers. The key is in making sure the process is simple and seamless. If you make it too hard for people to leave a review, they won't bother doing it. QR codes are a great way to collect reviews because they allow customers to give feedback quickly and easily — all they need is their phone! Just ask for their feedback in person or on product packaging and provide them with a QR code for easy access.

Are QR codes recycled?

Static QR codes cannot be recycled since their information cannot be changed. However, Flowcode’s dynamic QR codes can be used over and over again, and never need to be replaced.
‍

Dynamic QR codes are special types of QR codes that allow users to quickly and easily update the destination of the code. Instead of being printed with a set destination, dynamic QR codes can be programmed to direct customers to different locations, such as: 
‍

  1. Websites
  2. Social media pages
  3. Contact forms
  4. Or other data sources
    ‍

Below are some benefits of using dynamic QR codes: 
‍

  1. They provide greater flexibility than static QR codes
  2. They make it easier for businesses to update their marketing campaigns on the fly since they don’t need to print new codes or material.
  3. They can increase customer engagement
  4. They provide access to analytics
  5. Enhanced security since the data isn’t stored directly on the QR code.
