Match the QR code to the job
A useful QR code starts with a simple question: what should someone be able to do immediately after scanning?
Businesses use QR codes to connect signs, flyers, menus, business cards, packaging and other physical materials to digital destinations. The right setup depends on both the goal and the place where the QR code will appear.

Think about where people will scan
The same destination can require a different QR strategy depending on placement. A QR code on a business card is scanned from a few inches away. A storefront sign might be scanned from several feet away. A restaurant table sign can stay in use for months, making destination flexibility more important.
EasyQR's existing guides cover practical print situations such as QR code signs for small businesses, QR codes for storefronts, QR codes on flyers and QR codes for counter signs.
Use dynamic QR codes when plans may change
If the QR code will be printed on something that is difficult or expensive to replace, a dynamic QR code can help you keep the physical code while changing the destination later. This is useful for menus, promotions, documents, events and long-lived signage.
If you are deciding which type to use, compare static and dynamic QR codes.
