I’ve been using QR codes in a couple of ways that have really helped boost sales and keep customers coming back. One is for loyalty rewards. At checkout, customers can scan a code to earn points, and once they’ve collected enough, they get a discount on their next purchase. It’s quick for them and easy for me to track. Since rolling it out, I’ve seen familiar faces coming in more often, and some people even mention they made an extra stop just to earn their points.
The other is for product info. I put small QR stickers on certain items so people can scan and see more details, reviews, or even a short video showing the product in use. It answers their questions on the spot, without them having to track down a staff member or search online. I’ve noticed more confident purchases, fewer abandoned carts, and even a few impulse buys when someone liked what they saw in the video. It’s been a simple change, but it’s given customers a better experience and made my sales process smoother.
I'm exploring more ways to use QR codes to boost my business's financial growth. For example, adding them to flyers and posters for special promotions so people can scan and get a coupon right away. I’m also looking into using them for interactive content, like linking to short videos or contests that make the shopping experience a bit more fun. There’s definitely potential beyond just the basics, and the nice thing is, once you set them up, they’re easy to update without having to reprint anything. It’s a small tweak that’s been worth the effort.
