BUSINESS CARD USE IDEAS FOR QR CODES
The good stuff is right here. Now that you've mastered the art of the QR code, how in the world can you use one on blogger business cards?
Anything you link to MUST work on mobile devices. It is strongly advised that you test on your phone (or a friend's phone—just give it back) before submitting. PUT TO THE TEST. Spending time and money printing 250 cards with broken QR codes is a waste.
Be careful to describe what the QR code on your business card represents. Be alluring, clear-cut, or creative. You have the choice. In this case, just a few sentences will do.
These seven inventive uses for QR codes go beyond simple website links.
1. Provide a link to a page that provides further information about you.
If you want to do this, you have an infinite number of possibilities. For those who utilize a QR code, you may link to your About Me page on your blog or build a separate About Me website. Link to your About.me page (you have one, right? ), where you may list all of your websites and social media accounts (if you have them). If you have a Jumpscan profile with your contact information, you may connect to that. You may follow along with Gigi from Kludgy Mom in her guide on how to construct a mobile-friendly page with contact information using Jumpscan.
Link to a sign-up form for email.
A newsletter that you believe others might enjoy is available for download here. What about an email subscription option for your blog posts? This form should be linked to your QR code. The coolest method to expand your subscriber base is through mobile devices. How can you know who's QR code has this feature? Wink. Wink.
3. Link to an entry form for a giveaway.
Attending a conference this year that is sponsored by a company? That sponsor's goods can be given away in exchange for a link to a page where participants can enter. As far as timing goes, you have a few of choices. Start by printing a modest number of copies for that particular conference. As a second option, you may update the page after each conference. Instead of www.blogname.com/type-a-conference-giveaway, use www.blogname.com/QR-code. It's easy to alter the content of that page to "about me" when you aren't travelling. It's easiest to do this on a different page (not a blog post).
4. Provide a link to a video about you, your purpose, or something else that you find particularly interesting.
If you want to tell someone more about yourself or your blog's goal, make a short video. That individuality of yours may be displayed in a very positive way. Consider using this opportunity to explain how you're supporting the cause and encourage others to give.
5. Incorporate your contact information into their phone's contacts.
Your phone would automatically store the contact information of a person who scanned a QR code from your phone. Even if it's a little early, it's still very cool. QR Stuff's vcard option may be used for this.
6. Make a unique offer to your readers.
What would you like to give your new fan as a gift? A brief e-book, a checklist, or something else you feel exceptional might be sent to them, depending on their specialization.
As an alternative, provide a special rate for advertising or a special promotional offer. The alternatives are endless in this situation.
