QR Code stands for Quick Response Codes. QR codes are 2-dimensional barcodes that when scanned open up a link, add contacts, send SMSes, make calls among other things. The most popular QR code use case is that it can be scanned to learn about the product in detail. You will often find QR codes on product packaging, marketing material such as billboards, posters and signage or on direct emails and websites.
To understand how a QR code works, let’s take an example of a real-time bus schedule at a bus station.
1. A well-designed appealing poster at the bus station has a QR code.
2. Tourists waiting at the bus station, scan the QR code using their smartphones
3. A mobile friendly landing page with all the details load on their smartphone.
QR codes were initially designed to track cars through the manufacturing process. But, with the growing popularity of QR Codes marketers and business owners are now using QR codes on almost everything - product packaging to billboards to business cards and more. Here are some of the most popular QR code use-cases to get inspired from -
Save contact directly to mobile phones by using QR codes on business cards. It simplifies the process of getting in touch with a business.
Promote digital campaigns or material via print media. Beaconstac’s feature - dynamic QR codes, can be leveraged to run different campaigns at different times, which means you can always promote your latest products without the pain of redistributing print media.

There are two types of QR codes. Static and Dynamic. With Beaconstac’s QR code generator, the guide to creating QR codes is easier than ever!
1. Static - A type of QR code, which is recommended for a one time, limited interval usage. Once the information is embedded in the QR code, it cannot be changed post printing.
2. Dynamic - The second type of QR code, where the information can be changed, prior and post-printing. The same QR code can be used to share different information, at different time intervals, almost making it seem recyclable. Dynamic QR codes also give you information regarding the number of scans, location, time, analytics and allows you to fine tune and manage campaigns based on this information.
The capability of a smartphone scanning a QR code is based on the system software. If the smartphone is an Android and has an Operating System of Android 8.0 and higher, QR codes can be natively scanned by the smartphone camera. If it is an iPhone with an Operating System of iOS 11 and higher, QR codes can be natively scanned with the camera app.
If the smartphone has an Operating system that is Android 7 and lower or iOS 10 and lower, then one can download a QR code scanning app from respective app stores.
The size of a QR code should not be less than 1cm x 1cm (0.4 inches x 0.4 inches). QR codes, if printed in a size smaller than that, cannot be detected by smartphones and scanners.
While Static QR codes also work in effective information delivery, Dynamic QR codes just go the extra mile and allow you to track the number of scans, time, location, type of software used to scan, integrate with Google Analytics and help in retargeting. That way, one can change their campaigns according to the data and understand their customers better.
Get started with Dynamic QR codes and create trackable QR Codes
To monitor QR code results, you must first create a dynamic QR code. Once you start running campaigns, you will see metrics such as the number of scans, location, time, date of scan on the dashboard. You can also integrate Google Analytics to view other key demographics.
QR codes can be used to deliver marketing campaigns, ask for customer feedback, make payments, navigate to a physical location, share files like PDFs, images, videos and more. Read more about all the types of QR codes
No. QR codes can be colorful, You can choose a different foreground and background color. You can even add a background image to the QR code to make it more interesting.
To generate a QR code with text or logo embedded, you have to ‘Upload a logo or image’ or choose a logo from the gallery. To download it, you will have to upgrade to the Starter plan. You can sign up for a 14-day free trial to create free static and dynamic QR codes with a logo. After the trial ends, you will no longer have access to the dynamic QR codes.

Personally identifiable information is not stored. When a user scans a QR code, information such as time, date, location and country of scan is collected. If the QR code is scanned through an app, more details may be tracked.
Realtors and real estate companies have a lot to gain from QR codes. QR codes can act as an on-call retailer when placed on ‘For Sale’ signs and bench ads making it easy for buyers to check out properties nearby, schedule an appointment or even look at a virtual tour. How to use QR codes in real estate
Creating a QR code is pretty straightforward. Here are the steps to get started -
The core requirement of a QR code generator is to support all types of QR code - vCard, URL, text message, email, app download and more.
Other requirements from a QR code generator include, customizations to align with your brand, campaign management for static and dynamic QR codes, and most importantly performance tracking.
Some might argue that ultimately all kinds of QR codes can be generated using a basic URL QR code type. However, that’s not the most optimal way. QR codes should initiate an action on scanning rather than just navigating to a landing page. The distinct QR code types that initiate different actions on scanning are - URL, text message, email, vCard and phone call.
In addition to the basic QR code types listed above, other types like app download QR code, image QR code, MP3 QR code and more, add more relevance and intuitiveness to the QR code. So choose the type carefully :)
Once you decide which type is best suited for your use case, a form opens up on the QR code generator. Depending on what type of QR code you are looking to generate, the number of input fields differ. Fill in the information that corresponds to the campaign you are looking to promote.
Did you like many others went ahead with the default selection of static QR codes and missed the dynamic part? Dynamic QR codes are extremely powerful for businesses. It allows business owners to send time-based campaigns when scanned. (Learn more about it)
The fun part of generating QR codes is customizing them! A QR code represents your campaign and should reflect the campaign branding. Beaconstac’s QR code generator allows customization options in its free forever plan. Not all QR code generators have customizations in the free plan, but we thought why put the best and most fun part behind a plan :)
You can customize the color, add a logo in the center and do a lot of other fun things! To help you move faster, we also have pre-designed logos for most use-cases.
QR code use cases range from business cards to posters to billboards to digital medium. The choice of QR code format should totally depend on what you intend to use QR codes for. Here are our recommendations based on best practices -
Once you download the QR code and use it as desired, use your phone’s in-built QR code scanner or a third party QR code scanner to test the QR code. Here’s how to scan your QR code with an Android or iOS smartphone.
Like all other marketing campaigns - digital or print, monitoring and measuring the efficacy of the campaign is of supreme importance. With Beaconstac’s powerful analytics engine you can measure analytics at campaign level and individual QR code level. All of this is presented in a graphical way to make it easier to track progress.
