QR codes — recognized as a design of black and white squares — have been in widespread use since the mid-2010s. You may have been noticing QR codes more frequently in restaurants that are aiming to cut down on the shared use of physical menus. Scan the code on your table and you're quickly perusing their online menu. QR code menus have become the norm when dining at restaurants during the pandemic, but their versatility may be overlooked by other types of businesses.

Here are 5 ways QR codes can increase awareness & boost sales: 

1. Collect Customer Reviews

   Make it simple for your clients to leave a Google or social media review by directing them to these pages & encouraging their feedback. The volume of reviews will boost your visiblity, create brand awareness and help future customers make the decision to buy your products or services.

2. Visit your Website

   This is an easy one. Direct consumers to your website by placing QR codes on your products, storefront, business cards, billboards, door hangers, tradeshow booths - you get the idea. If you run a brick and mortar but you've gone online, direct your QR code to your e-commerce site. 

3. Create repeat buyers

   Add a QR code to items people have already purchased from you, allowing them to re-order the same product, or leave a review of their experience. 

4. Video linking

   Watching videos drastically helps consumers connect with your brand and quickly gain an understanding of the services you offer. 

5. Location Location Location

   If you're a new business, have recently changed business locations, or are hosting an event elsewhere, link map coordinates using Google Maps.
