What is a QR code for labels and stickers?

Labels and stickers on products, signage, print marketing or inside the store with a QR code on them are often referred to as QR code labels or QR code stickers. These QR codes are used to increase pre-purchase and post-purchase engagement or used to verify the authenticity of a product and can even be used to decrease the wait time by using them for payment.

PRE-PURCHASE ENGAGEMENT

How QR Codes on labels and stickers improve the in-store customer experience

QR codes can be leveraged in several different ways inside the store. From the posters and banners to product packaging, QR codes can help to increase the level of pre-purchase engagement.

Product Packaging

Product videos: Brand and businesses use a QR code label or sticker on the product’s primary or secondary packaging to drive shoppers to watch online advertisements or a How-To video to better understand how the product works.

Discover Video QR Codes

Lookbooks: Brands also place a PDF QR code on clothes to allow shoppers to see a lookbook and cross-sell auxiliary products. This can be accompanied with a CTA that says ‘Scan to see the lookbook’

Ratings and reviews: Businesses use a Feedback QR code to run market surveys on new product lines or incorporate customer feedback making them feel heard. This feedback and rating QR code could either lead to a form or Facebook, Yelp or a social media channel where customers can voice their opinion. Adidas has launched FutureCraft Loop shoe which is made from zero virgin plastic. The shoe has a QR code which allows wearers to scan it and send feedback on the shoe so that Adidas can make further improvements

Websites/Landing pages: Brands often add a QR code to labels and stickers to allow customers to know more about the product that they are buying. Nestle and Carrefour partnered with IBM to enable customers to scan QR codes on mashed potatoes that take them to a landing page with information about the potato - date of manufacturing, date of expiry, whether it is organic and more. Rapanui, a clothing brand, places QR codes in their clothing so that users can scan it and find out more about its origins.
