THE EFFICACY OF QR CODES
We are seeing significant growth in the usage of QR Codes worldwide. Fortune 500 companies like Nike and Nestle are implementing them into their marketing stack, and customers are becoming increasingly more comfortable with gathering and retaining information through online sources.
QR codes provide an excellent touch-free solution for brands to keep customers engaged at store level, provide relevant information, and increase overall conversion with re-marketing efforts. They allow customers to get product information within seconds and reduce the need for face-to-face engagement.
Here are some interesting facts that you may not know about adoption of QR Codes:
-
QR Readers are now standard on all Android and iPhone devices, so users no longer need to download separate apps all they need to do is open their cameras! With the average household penetration of smartphones in Canada reaching 86%, we can safely assume that the adoption of QR codes will continue to grow.

-
Product Information (51.5%)
