Best Practices for Using QR Codes on Business Cards
In favor of a more adaptable identity, QR Codes have shed their stark black-and-white image. You can design engaging and motivational QR Codes that stand out and advance your business using a wide variety of multifunctional, simple to use options.
1. Include guidelines
Printing QR Codes without a brief description of what the consumer would benefit or learn by scanning one is a common error committed by QR Code users in the past. If you don’t encourage customers to scan your Code, all of your marketing efforts will be for nothing.
2. Frame it
Your QR Code can enhance your imaginative design by using one of our frames that you can customize. You will be presented with a large selection of pre-made frames with various Call to Action (CTA) texts and color options while creating your code. You can further customize if you wish to include individualized information by selecting a different shape, a different icon, or even adding your own text. Visit this page to view our guide to QR Code frames.
3. Incorporate a logo into your QR Code.
You can decide to include a brand image or company logo at the middle of your QR Code after choosing a frame option and customizing the size, color, and form of your Code. So that QR Codes may continue to be scanned, our system automatically determines the optimal and largest size for your logos, so you do not have to bother about making the proper adjustments.
4. Keep your creations.
Use the same, branded QR Code layout without worrying about manually rebuilding an outdated one. You may save all of your designs as templates with QR Code Generator PRO so that you can use them for all of your marketing and customer service initiatives.
5. Adaptable URL
Every Dynamic QR Code comes pre-loaded with a random short URL that, when scanned, takes the user to any page they want. The short URL can be tailored to your preferences, for example utilizing the name of your business to help you stand out from rivals and gain greater user confidence. If you want to edit your short URL, follow these instructions.
6. Verify prior to printing
A QR Code should be printed at least 2 x 2 cm (0.8 x 0.8 in) in size on all marketing materials. You can easily make it bigger from there, however, we do not advise going smaller because it would make your Code unreadable or even invisible. Large numbers of encoded characters, complex patterns with poor color contrast, or both call for a bigger printing size. You should conduct thorough field testing using a variety of smartphones and apps to make sure your Code is flawlessly legible. This will provide you the assurance that every user will be able to scan your Code.

Restaurants
Southern Restaurants adopted the Business Page QR Code so that customers could easily discover their opening times and driving directions without having to look them up.

Government

People can now easily schedule meetings by quickly accessing their business phone number, email address, LinkedIn profile, and website.
Artists and musicians
An up-and-coming fictional band called The Three Sparrows made the decision to print an MP3 QR Code on their business cards in order to pitch their music on the fly in order to differentiate themselves from all the other burgeoning musicians and artists.

FAQ
The QR Code is finding it difficult to get past its past. No, QR Codes do not need to be monochromatic unless your campaign or brand is built around a black and white color scheme. Contrarily, they can be as colorful or subdued as you need them to be. However, we do not advise having them too subdued because your viewers won’t notice them. We suggest visiting our QR Code Design page and our Help Center page if you have any technical questions to gain ideas and be creative with your QR Codes.
