If you\u2019re currently not using quick response <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/glossary-qr-code\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">QR) codes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in your marketing strategy, you could be missing out on useful engagement data.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The popularity of these scannable codes has increased substantially in the past couple of years, and the trend is not slowing down. Hop on the bandwagon and incorporate QR codes into your omni-channel marketing strategy to gain insightful user engagement data and increase conversion rates.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why use QR codes?<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">QR codes are popular for a reason. Versatile, efficient, and economical, they\u2019re hard to beat. QR codes can be placed on almost any surface, require very little effort from the user, and cost next to nothing for the advertiser. If that doesn\u2019t have you convinced, think about all of the valuable QR code data that can be intelligently gathered, analyzed, and displayed to aid in future marketing decisions.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Using QR codes in your marketing strategy should be an easy decision, but creating a QR code marketing strategy requires some planning, so let\u2019s begin.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your QR code strategy<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are many ways to incorporate QR codes into your media mix. Depending on your app, some ways could be more effective than others. Having a clear idea of your target audience is also essential when establishing your QR code game plan. Below are some things to consider when incorporating QR codes into your marketing.<\/span>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. Understand your app vertical<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first step in establishing a QR code strategy is to understand what type of app you have. Not all apps will use QR codes in the same way. For example, a quick service restaurant (QSR) could place QR codes on their food packaging whereas a travel\/hospitality app might place their codes on posters in an airport. Ask yourself:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What service(s) does my app provide?<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Where in your app will the QR code take your users?<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. Determine your target audience<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you have an understanding of your app vertical, decide what audience(s) you are hoping to attract. Consider your audience&#8217;s age, demographic, gender, and any other defining factors when determining where to place your QR codes. Ask yourself:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of the people who use my app, where would they most likely scan a QR code?<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What other group(s) would I like to bring into my app and where would they most likely see my QR code?<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3. Examine your other media channels<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">More than likely, you already have multiple media channels running ad campaigns. Look at those channels to understand who is engaging with them and what goals they are trying to achieve. From there, establish where your QR codes will fit in. If you\u2019re already running campaigns on TV, consider adding a QR code to your OTT\/CTV advertisements. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobileindustryeye.com\/kochava\/kochava-foundry-how-to-measure-lift-with-the-marketing-research-panel-of-the-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Monitor the lift<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in engagement after implementing QR codes to determine their effectiveness on that channel.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;37412&#8243; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;75%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4. Incorporate your QR codes<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you have identified potential QR code media channels, it\u2019s time to incorporate them into your marketing campaigns. Be sure to keep the following in mind:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Size<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Make sure the users are able to easily scan the QR code wherever it is placed. If the code is too big or too small, users will have a hard time scanning it.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Keep the QR code visible long enough so that it can be scanned. If a code is placed in a TV ad or on a digital poster\/billboard keep it visible long enough to scan.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Location<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Place the QR code so that it is visible and scannable on a variety of platforms and devices.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5. Measure QR code performance<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before you launch your QR code campaign, it\u2019s important to determine how you will gather and analyze your QR code data. Consider partnering with a mobile measurement partner (MMP) like Kochava to ensure that all of your campaign information is intelligently measured and visible within a single platform to view QR code campaign performance and correlations between your other media channels.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Get started today\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s never too late to incorporate QR codes into your marketing strategy.
