QR Codes on Social Media and other materials: Best Practice

QR codes are a universal tool for presenting your brand and business. But you can make even a minor mistake in the design, and all your efforts will be in vain. Don't repeat mistakes! Pursue our tips on using QR codes in promotional materials and make them more expressive and potent.

Add a short description to your QR code

Why would anyone even scan your QR code? You lose if you have no answer to this question. A QR code without instructions does not carry any value or information to the user. So be sure to print out the QR code with instructions on what your client or partner will learn from the scan.

Use informative frames for the QR code

The users are almost ready to scan the QR code. Just help them! Frames tell your audience about your QR code. Does your QR code lead to your store's Instagram? Add a "Follow Me" call-to-action box. 

Add your logo to your QR code

You must do it! A company logo on a QR code helps users recognize and trust you. The L2QR builder automatically determines the optimal size for your logos, ensuring the scanning of QR codes.

Remember the contrast

However, the QR code should always be visible on a light or dark background. Consistent contrast is the key to fast reading. Use a white box or frame for guaranteed QR code scanning.

Integrate the QR code into your design

Isn't it enough to just add a QR code on a social media post? Sorry but no. When a QR code looks like a random element, it gives every reason to believe that you are not being responsible enough with your presentation.
