Marketing with QR Codes

Quick Response (QR) codes became popular during the Covid Pandemic to reduce physical contact. Restaurants began displaying QR codes on tables to enable diners to view menus on their smartphones.  Other businesses began using QR Codes to enable contactless payments, downloading apps, linking websites, and requesting reviews.  

QR codes look like an ink splotch and have data that point to a website or app. They work with smartphones that have QR readers built into their cameras. QR codes link to a unique webpage that can be bookmarked, emailed, or left in the form of an open page on a phone’s web browser.
