The quick-response code, known as QR code, has been around for decades. But their usage is now growing exponentially. We see them popping up in more places than ever as we transition into paperless and contactless transactions. It’s not surprising at all since QR codes can be scanned using a smartphone to reveal the information that is embedded within. This makes it a convenient method to share data and information that are accessible to a wider audience.
Two bits of technology make a QR code possible. First, the device’s camera, which acts as a scanner. Second, a technology that instantly reads that image and redirects the user to the information behind the code.
So, how can you take advantage of this simple and innovative solution? Use the QR code as a one-step invitation to get into your group chat.
Here’s why it works:
- Convenient and Accessible – A QR code makes it simple for everyone to enter your group chat by giving them the power to enter your online community just by using their smartphones, without the need to install anything.
- Versatile and Universal – May it be your social media page, group messaging app, or email invite, your QR invite can be used on any print or digital channels. They can also be scanned as small as 2×2 cm, making it the most versatile invitation you can ever use right now. Also, most smartphones now come with a built-in QR reader app installed.
- Easy and Instant – Reaching out to your audience that is mostly on smartphones has to be done in a way that lessens the steps needed to be done. QR codes bring the number of steps to one. Your audience just needs to scan the code, then they will be instantly redirected to your group chat.
- Aesthetic and Space Saving – QR codes support your events even in the marketing stage. Design your digital invites with eye-catching QR codes that will lead your guests to your virtual event. You can also implement QR codes into your digital signage and other marketing collateral.
