How Consumers and Brands Benefit from QR Code Packaging

Being able to store a lot of data compared to a barcode has made the QR code the most convenient technology to use when consumers shop for groceries, transact with banks, pay bills, and purchase medicines.

Brand marketers, on the other hand, benefit by opting to use a QR code packaging. Incorporating all the necessary information about the product in the QR code allows customers to scan the QR code packaging for them to get detailed information.

A business wanting to promote its brand or services is likely to stand above its competitors when they choose to invest in QR code packaging. The common use of smartphones today ensures that consumers habitually use them to scan a QR code of a certain brand as a way to get more information about a brand or product.

With this, the importance of QR code packaging to both consumers and brands includes:

Easy way of updating information

The detailed information encoded in a QR code packaging can always be updated at any time before printed for the final time. Being able to change something in the QR code’s URL such as for instance, changing business hours of operation can be done immediately. Simply editing the link encoded in the QR code packaging provides real-time updates of any business information at any time. Changing the link will immediately show the updated information on all the QR code packaging of the product or brand.

Offer the smartest way to engage consumers with a brand or product

Engaging the interest of various consumers in a certain brand is by providing them with detailed information about it. The simple act of scanning a QR code is the smartest way for a business to supply information about its brand or product.

Most of the time, consumers don’t bother reading the small print included in a brand or product. A QR code provides a creative and fun experience for consumers.

Some of the creative methods for a business to integrate into their QR codes as a way to spark the interests of consumers include:

  • Promote a specific brand or product by incorporating contests that consumers can win into the QR code
  • For food products, encoding simple, easy-to-prepare, and affordable recipes using the product is a good way to promote the brand.
  • Visual representations incorporated into the QR code offer the best way for consumers from all over the world to understand more about the product.
  • Free music to listen to as soon as a consumer scans the QR code of the brand.

Eco-friendly advertising tool

A sustainable marketing strategy is the best way to help the environment. Doing away with ink and paper in advertising a product is provided by the QR code. The valuable information a brand needs to convey to consumers through scanning the QR code without using ink and paper helps the environment. Using the QR code also offers a budget-friendly advantage for retailers wanting to promote their brand or product without breaking the bank.

Offer a quick way for businesses to track their inventory

Inventory of products becomes quick and easy when the QR code is incorporated with serial numbers. The serial numbers placed on the QR code offer the best way for retailers to keep track of the sale of their products with dealers, stores, and markets.
