From What They Think:

QR Codes as a Problem-Solving Tool

How do you incorporate QR codes into a successful marketing campaign? You don’t make it about the QR code. You make it about problem-solving. Heidi Tolliver-Walker highlights several great use cases from a MindFire webinar that provide great problem-solving insights—whether you are incorporating QR codes or not.

Recently, MindFire hosted a webinar “2022: QR Codes Are Changing the Way We Do Business.” Presented by Joe Manos, EVP Client Success, and co-presented with David Garner, president/owner of Boyd’s Direct, the webinar presented a variety of use cases showing how QR codes can be used to provide real value to print customers.

With QR codes having been the butt of jokes for years in this industry, why are they being taken seriously now? The reason, Manos says, is changes brought by COVID. QR codes became widely accepted as part of contactless business communications, and now they have simply become part of the landscape. “Since COVID, we have seen a big increase in use cases,” says Manos. “Plus, the QR code readers actually work now—unlike the apps of the past.”

This observation isn’t just anecdotal. Based on analysis of the campaigns sent through its platform, MindFire has seen this shift first-hand. For example, it has found that when a campaign uses a personalized QR code to send someone to video, that campaign sees a 3x–5x lift beyond just the direct mail piece alone.

Top applications for QR codes, according to MindFire?

  • Contactless payments
  • Menu/ordering food
  • Registrations
  • Donations
  • Medical uses

In the webinar, MindFire showcased more than two dozen use cases for QR codes, many of which fall under one of these categories. These examples were chosen because the QR code wasn’t just thrown on there for the sake of it. (“We need to add a QR code. What can we use it for?”) In all cases, the QR code was integral to achieving the marketing goal. Thus, these were great examples, not just of how to incorporate print-to-mobile tools, but how to add value to the client relationship. This same thought process applies to other marketing tools as well, including augmented reality.
