Perhaps you’ve seen a QR code on business cards, magazine advertisements or other marketing material.  They look like a square grid of black & white squares, like a virgin crossword puzzle.  QR codes can provide potential customers with easy access to your website, your email address, your contact details, make a phone call, SMS, and more. Instead of reading the small print on your business card and then pulling up the on screen keyboard on their phone and typing in your website or email address, or phone number, they can simply hover their phone over your business card.

Make your QR code look more appealing

Here’s the interesting thing about these 2 dimensional evolutions of their cousin the bar code: because there is a lot of redundancy built into the QR code they are easily read even when partially distorted or obscured. This means that you can intentionally obscure part of the QR code for your own benefit by adding your business logo or photo.

Here are a few examples I have created as examples of what you can do:

QR Codes are more likely to be scanned if they are humanly readable

By incorporating an image into your business’s QR code, it not only looks more interesting but it is more enticing and more likely to generate enough interest in the inquisitive passerby to pull out their phone and scan it…ending up at your website.
