Why QR is back
Native camera support on iOS and Android pushed QR scan rates past 11% in retail in 2024. It's now one of the cheapest, fastest channels to bridge offline and online.
The 5 rules of high-converting QR campaigns
- Always include a clear call-to-action above the code ("Scan for 10% off").
- Make the code at least 2×2 cm and keep 4 modules of quiet space around it.
- Test contrast — dark on light works best, never inverted.
- Send the scan to a mobile-optimised landing page, not a homepage.
- Track every scan with UTM parameters or a dynamic QR.
Where to place your QR
- Receipts and invoices — high attention, high trust
- Packaging — extends the unboxing experience
- In-store signage and shelf talkers
- Business cards and email signatures
- Event swag, conference booths and lanyards
