QR Codes for Offline-to-Online Campaigns
QR codes are having a renaissance. From restaurant menus to product packaging, scannable codes connect the physical world to your digital funnels.
Dynamic vs static QR codes
A static QR code encodes a fixed URL. If you change the destination, you must reprint the code.
A dynamic QR code points to a short link. Update the destination anytime without changing the printed code — perfect for seasonal campaigns and A/B tests.
Design tips
- Use high contrast between the QR pattern and background
- Add your logo in the center (with appropriate error correction)
- Include a short call-to-action below the code ("Scan for menu")
- Test on multiple devices before printing at scale
Track every scan
When your QR code resolves through Short.io, every scan is tracked like a click. See devices, locations, and timestamps in your analytics dashboard.
