QR codes for business: ideas for use and mistakes to avoid
Where a QR code helps
On a restaurant menu to open the digital menu, on a business card to save your details, on product packaging to open instructions or warranty, and on a shop window to open a booking or review page. The idea is to take someone from the real world to an online page with one scan.
Link it to a bio page or short link
The best approach is to point the code to a page you can edit later, such as a bio page, instead of a fixed link. That way you do not have to reprint if the destination changes.
Common mistakes
- A code that is too small, or stuck on a glossy or curved surface, is hard to scan.
- Low contrast between code and background. Black on white is safest.
- Not testing the code with a real phone before printing.
- Pointing the code to a page that does not work well on mobile.
