- High contrast: Ensure the foreground and background colors have enough contrast for reliable scanning.
- Add UTM tags: Combine with UTM parameters to track how many scans your QR code gets.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I use QR codes for social media marketing?
QR codes are great for bridging offline and online marketing. Add them to business cards to link to your social profiles, print them on packaging to encourage follows, include them in presentations to share your LinkedIn, or add them to event materials to drive Instagram follows. They make it easy for people to find and follow you without typing URLs.
What size should my QR code be for printing?
For reliable scanning, a QR code should be at least 2cm x 2cm (about 0.8 inches) at close range. For posters or signs that will be scanned from a distance, increase the size proportionally. A good rule of thumb is that the QR code should be at least 1/10th the scanning distance. For a sign read from 10 feet away, the code should be at least 1 foot wide.
Can I customize the colors of my QR code?
Yes, you can customize both the foreground and background colors. However, always maintain high contrast between the two colors for reliable scanning. Dark foreground on a light background works best. Avoid very light foreground colors or low-contrast combinations, as they may not scan reliably on all devices.
