Benefits of QR Codes on Business Cards
The point of a business card is to share information and contacts to improve your engagement with customers and vendors. By adding a QR code, this goal has even greater potential. QR codes allow others to quickly save your information to their phone, find your online menu or website, link to your social media, and more. This is an easy way to bring your business to them.
Stand Out
Giving people a QR code to scan encourages them to engage one level deeper with your business after the initial meeting. It's easy for potential customers or vendors to look over your information then instantly forget it. By prompting them to take another action, you have gotten them one step closer to solidifying your message and brand in their head.
Simple Networking
Having a QR code on a business card means people are likely to scan it with their phone. Since they are already using their phone to interact with your business card, it makes it that much easier for them to take the next step and save your contact information like phone number, business hours, address, directions, website, social media accounts, and more.
Easy Menu Access
Adding a QR code to your business card eliminates the need for anyone to waste time searching the internet for your menu or website. Vendors and customers have many things vying for their attention at any given time, so you want to make it as easy and painless as possible for them to find your information. Each small step you can cut down on will make a big difference.
