What is a QR Code?
Quick response, or QR, is a type of barcode that can store a multitude of information. The obvious difference between a QR Code and Barcode is its appearance.
A QR Code is always in the shape of a square and contains smaller, even blocks similar to Tetris.
A Barcode, on the other hand, has vertical bars in different thicknesses and often accompanied by a serial number.
The clear difference between these two codes is their appearance
What can a QR Code do?
Because of its versatility, a QR Code can be programmed to do a multitude of things. It can be split into two formats: Dynamic and Static. A Dynamic QR Code is useful for businesses or nonprofits in their marketing strategy because of its advantages. Though it needs a subscription to work, it is a small price to pay compared to the benefits it offers. Dynamic QR Code solutions are editable, which means if you made a mistake and only noticed it after the QR Codes are printed, you can easily log in to the dashboard and fix them without changing the appearance of the already printed Codes. This could be useful for these reasons:
The deadline for print is earlier than the actual campaign. By using a Dynamic QR Code, you can add a dummy QR Code and simply add the content after it’s printed.
Typos are inevitable. There are thousands of horror stories about how they only spotted a mistake after the QR Code is printed on hundreds and thousands of business cards, flyers, or brochures, resulting in high reprinting costs. With a Dynamic Code, you won’t even break a sweat.
Changing the direction of your campaign and thinking it’s too late? Not with Dynamic Codes. If you printed a Facebook QR Code and decided you need to get customer feedback instead, no problem. Simply change the QR Code solution in the dashboard and you’re good to go. Need to change it again? With our QR Code Generator PRO, you can do this for as many times as you want during your active subscription period.

Hotel key cards are one of the most underrated marketing tools in the hotel industry. It’s usually a blank, white card with just the hotel logo on it.

The possibilities are endless.

Being a nonprofit, budget doesn’t always allow for big marketing strategies. That is where our QR Code comes in. With only one QR Code, you can:

Then, you can swap the Code to a Social Media QR Code to promote all of your social media channels and still reuse any leftover brochures and flyers.
When you organize an event, swap the QR Code to an Event QR Code to promote it.
During the event, swap the QR Code again to a Rating or Feedback to get their input.
