The Initial QR Touchpoint

‍

Engaging with your audience is more important than ever. As you look for ways to enhance their experience, you may have considered incorporating QR functionality into your digital displays or content. As a business leader, you'd see QR codes as a game-changer in your marketing toolkit. Think of it as a sort of digital bridge, helping you reel in potential customers even before you've had the chance to say hello or make a sale. Just a quick scan of a QR code can send a potential customer off to a webpage, reveal a digital coupon, or even play a product demo video. It's like a digital treasure hunt, sparking curiosity and nudging them closer to making a purchase.

‍

In addition, QR codes are a fantastic springboard for loyalty programs. Imagine rewarding customers every time they use a QR code - you'll not only encourage repeat behavior but also gather tons of useful data to help you fine-tune your offerings. It's a win-win. Over time, this can bolster customer loyalty, creating a real sense of connection with your brand and, fingers crossed, leading to more repeat purchases.

‍

This back-and-forth communication, made possible by QR codes, lets you learn more about your customers. And the more you know, the better you can cater to their needs. In the long run, this sets the stage for a durable, mutually beneficial relationship between your brand and its customers.

‍

How is this valuable long term?

‍

So, what happens after you scan a QR code with your phone? How can you leverage this to glean information about your audience and use it to fuel business growth, loyalty, or future interactions?

‍

Imagine you send someone to a website when they scan your QR code. With their visit data, you can now retarget them on a range of platforms—Google display ads, Microsoft advertisements, LinkedIn, Facebook, and more. This initial touchpoint opens up a world of possibilities for future interactions, guiding them further down your sales funnel or even encouraging repeat purchases.

‍

Or let's say you send them to a digital coupon instead. You've just given them a reason to share their email address or phone number and subscribe to your communications. Once you've got their info and the coupon code they used, you can see what they bought and tailor your future communications to their preferences. You'll have their contact details handy for sending future coupons, nudging them towards repeat purchases and keeping your brand at the forefront of their minds.

‍

Consider the scenario where they're directed to product demo videos or info. Providing customers with all the information they need to make an informed decision can foster loyalty and prompt quicker buying decisions. If, for example, you had a video showcasing a couch and all its customizable options and prices, you wouldn't just get insights into buyer behavior, but also foot traffic data you might not have been able to access before.

‍

And here's a twist - pair this with a camera and you can gather demographic info about the people viewing your sign. This would allow you to fine-tune your understanding of your target audience. So, when you're ready to splash out on advertising, you'll know exactly who to target to maximize revenue.
