Why do you need a QR code for your products?

A quick response (QR) code is a barcode that appears in a square pattern and stores encoded data. It can also be considered a data storage medium, like a thumb drive, used to create digital marketing entities on physical objects through rapid mobile web services.

When a user scans with a QR code reader or with their smartphones, they gain immediate access to the content a QR code encodes, which will then trigger an action. These include opening a specific URL in the user’s web browser, automatically checking in to a location, or for example connecting to a wireless network, social media links, or maps locations. QR codes are usually used to store American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) text but can also store binary code.

QR codes were first created in 1994 by Denso Wave, a subsidiary of the Japanese firm Toyota Group, and quickly became a standard in Japan through the early 2000s. They expanded into use across the USA and Europe in 2010. QR barcode generation is now increasingly common because QR codes are easy for people to scan using their smartphones, which then open up webpages, check the user into locations, and unlock special offers from flyers, magazines, posters, and more.

 

You can use QR codes on your products for different cases:

> QR code for website
> QR code for social media
> QR code for product offer
> QR code for product page
> QR code for product documents
> QR code for map location
> QR code for Youtube videos
> QR code for business card
> QR code for events
> QR code for Call
> QR code for Email
> QR code for WhatsUp
> QR code for Paypal
> QR code for Bitcoin
> QR code for Zoom meeting
> QR code for Skype

The above items can be created in two types of QR codes: the Static QR code and the Dynamic QR code.


Static QR code vs. Dynamic QR code

There are two major categories of QR codes: static and dynamic. There is one huge difference between these labels, namely, their adjustability.

If you are looking for a more versatile solution, then dynamic versions are the right choice. Distinguished by a modifiable destination URL, resources, and the content that was originally inserted in the code can be updated later without the need to change the figure’s composition. It doesn’t matter whether this project is already printed out or is present in its digital form only; enthusiasts are welcome to change its content anywhere and an unlimited number of times.

In turn, a static QR code can’t be corrected that easily. Since its destination URL is stable, the encoded content is preserved in the graphic form directly. If any alterations are required, the visual format must be changed as well. Besides, static models look more distinguished and multicomponent than their dynamic substitutions.

 

Last but not least, with Dynamic QR code, you can see when, where, and how your URL or resources has been viewed based on the location and total and unique number of scans. If you would like to try the Dynamic QR code and see how it works,

Why Dynamic QR code is better?

The most advantage of Dynamic Qr code is that you can modify or trace your Dynamic QR codes. You can generate one QR code for all the below items or selected items and modify them every time.

All in one QR code

Once the QR code is generated, you will be able to edit or change the URL or all the resources behind the QR codes. There is a reason why dynamic QR codes are better than static QR codes. For example, suppose an individual constantly changes their mind regarding how they desire to use their website URL or they would like to share different files and links. They also wish to use their URL on different websites and social media like Meta (Facebook) or Instagram. With a Static QR Code, the individual must generate a new QR code every time they change their URL or resources, and doing that can be time-consuming and even impossible at times. With a Dynamic QR code, though, all the URL

and file modifications would be possible, and the generated QR code wouldn’t need to be regenerated and changed.
