What Is A QR Code Business Card?

A QR (Quick Response) code business card is essentially a business card that features a QR code in its design. QR codes will usually offer a range of functions that people can quickly access by simply scanning it with a compatible device.

Most QR codes are incredibly small and will rarely detract from your business card’s overall design. We offer a selection of card options that will complement your QR code, giving you an easy way to add a code to your business card’s design.

QR codes come in a range of different shapes, designs and even colours, so finding one that complements your business’ brand shouldn’t be too much of a struggle. If you are unsure which is best suited for our designs, then be sure to get in touch – we are happy to help where possible!

How QR Codes Work On Business Cards

QR codes on business cards will generally work the same as the QR codes found anywhere else in the world. Anyone reading your business card will simply need to scan the code using the camera on their mobile phone or through mobile apps that offer a QR scanner.

Once the code has been scanned, users will instantly be given access to any business information they choose to share. If it’s a link to a site it will usually directly lead to this, whereas if it’s contact details the user will be prompted to save the details on their phone.

The code itself will simply look like a collection of squares and other shapes, and can easily be weaved in with almost any design. You can also choose where on the card the QR code will be, so you don’t need to worry about it ruining the overall aesthetic of your chosen design!

Why Should I Have a QR Code On My Business Cards?

Adding a QR code to your business card design will open up a whole world of benefits that you may be missing out on. The best part is that adding a code to your business card will hardly increase the price of printing your cards!

Below you will find some of the most common benefits to adding a quick response code to your business card:

Easy Access to Your Site

A QR code can offer a convenient way for new customers to access your web address and find out exactly what your business stands for. All a customer needs to do is scan the code with their mobile phone and they will instantly be sent to your website.

By adding a QR code to your design you are essentially offering future clients a digital business card.

Convenient Way to Access Contact Information

A QR code can offer a quick and easy way for customers to store your contact info, such as telephone numbers and your company’s email address. Once the code has been scanned, the potential customer will be prompted to save your contact information.

This not only helps you ensure that your contact details are easily accessed but can also be a great way to improve accessibility for anyone who may be visually impaired – unlike fonts on a card, virtual fonts can be resized.

Demonstrate You Are Tech Savvy

As new technology emerges you will want to ensure your marketing efforts adapt accordingly. Dynamic QR codes can be the perfect way to show customers and potential business partners that you are willing to adopt new technology.

Not only is this an extremely cost-efficient way to achieve this, but it can also enhance your brand image. Create a QR code and add it to your business card to highlight your willingness to adapt!

Catches Potential Customers’ Curiosity

An often overlooked benefit to adding a QR code to business cards is that it will instantly capture potential customers’ curiosity. Receiving a card with a code that can be scanned can be exciting as you wonder what the code will lead to.

Some particularly tech-savvy companies will even enhance this by offering an AR experience that users can access by scanning the code. There are a range of hidden functions you can add to a code, meaning a customer won’t know what the code has hidden until they scan it themselves!

Business cards that feature a QR will usually be far more memorable than typical business cards.

Incredibly Accessible

Scanning a QR code is extremely straightforward, even for people who aren’t very tech-savvy. Most modern smartphones will have a built-in scanner, meaning you will simply need to highlight the code with your camera.

Business cards themselves are designed to be extremely informational and easy to understand – and a QR code is just another way to enhance this. In a world that is currently obsessed with mobile devices, almost all potential clients will be able to take advantage of your code!

What Is A QR Code Generator?

A QR code generator is an application or piece of software that allows you to add data, such as a website URL or contact information, to a QR code. They are fairly straightforward to use and can be used to add QR codes to your next batch of business cards.

We can handle QR code generation for you and print QR codes onto your business cards, saving you both time and effort. You can find a large variety of business card designs on our site that can be used alongside a QR code generator.

Most QR generators will offer a level of customizability so you can design your code to suit your unique brand. However, only paid generators will usually offer such an extensive range of designs- but it is more than worth the investment if you want the best looking card on the market!
