QR code for flyers

How to Use QR Codes on Flyers and Posters

Create QR codes for flyers, posters, ads, and local promotions with better scan rates.

Match the QR to the goal

Use URL QR for landing pages, WhatsApp QR for inquiries, location QR for directions, and payment QR for immediate payment.

Make it large enough

Flyers can use smaller codes than posters, but both need enough size and quiet space for easy scanning.

Add a call to action

Tell people why to scan: get coupon, book now, view menu, join event, or save contact.

Use stable campaign links

Point the QR to a campaign page you control, then update the page content if the offer changes.

Recommended tool

Use the Branded QR Code Generator to create the QR code described in this guide.

FAQ

What should I write near a flyer QR code?
