Question 2

Should I go for a static or dynamic QR Code?

Accepted Answer

Static QR Codes are fixed and cannot be edited. Once created, the data (like a URL) is fixed forever. Great for simple, permanent use cases like sharing your contact details. Dynamic QR Codes are editable and also trackable. These come with a price tag but offer advanced features like the ability to update content and access analytics to see how many people scanned your code and when. Perfect for marketing campaigns and evolving content. Not sure which one suits your needs? Check out the guide on “Static vs. Dynamic QR Codes” to make an informed choice.

Question 3

How should I use a QR Code?

Accepted Answer

Once you’ve created your QR code, display it in ways that make it easy for people to scan. Print it on:

Flyers and posters
Brochures and business cards
Product packaging and receipts

Make it visible where your audience interacts most. For example, placing it on a billboard could lead people to a special offer or campaign page.
