QR Codes on Metal Cards
Any cellphone camera instantly scans a QR code. Use your Metal Business Card to give them all your contact details!
QR codes have become more and more popular in today’s society – making it easier to provide your clients with more information or details about your company or product. You’ve probably used a QR code recently to scan a menu at a restaurant, order beers at a brewery, enter a giveaway or even download an app. And sure enough, Metal Kards have been used to print QR codes for all these types of events with our customers.
You can’t just pull out a piece of paper and have someone scan your QR code – even in the digital age, people still expect to get a nice business card they can hold in their hands. But business cards can only hold so much information about you or your company. For example, if you are a realtor, your business card can not hold and keep an updated list of all of your listings. And that is where the QR code comes in! They give your card more capabilities, where you can setup giveaways, trade contact details, or direct customers to a special part of your website or social media for things like your real estate listings of all your properties.
So, what exactly is a QR code?
A Quick Response Code (or QR code) is a two-dimensional barcode that contains information about the product it is associated with – such as a menu, website, social media account, etc. They can be printed on almost anything and quickly scanned by smartphones.
How will my clients access my information?
Easy! Open the smartphone’s camera and point it at the QR code to scan. Your clients can now easily access more information about you or your product. For the most success, we recommend linking your QR code to one of the following details:
- This works on both Android and iPhone
- vCard – instantly adding your contact information into your client’s phone
- Website
- Social media outlets such as Instagram, Snapchat, or Facebook
- Small company biography, showroom or portfolio
- Specific product information
- Restaurant or Bar menus
- Special offers, discounts, or giveaways
- Property listings
