Are You Utilizing the Power of QR Codes?

You know how sometime you wish you could engage your customers more just as they’re standing in a boutique, holding your product, trying to decide whether or not to make the purchase?   Could you imagine if you were there, chatting with them, engaging them, connecting with them?  Well, in a way, you can be there.  How? Through a little thing called a QR Code.

We’re sure by now you’ve all heard about QR Codes.  But how many of you are actually utilizing them?  Adding one to your product’s hang tag offers a pretty unique way of  connecting with your potential and existing customers. Think about it.  With the simple scan of a code via a smartphone, consumers can reap all kinds of benefits and ultimately decide to make that purchase.

Here are some ideas on what you can offer via a QR Code:

• The journey of the product; how it’s made from start to finish
• Information about the designer; who you are, what you do
• A video about the product
• Style photos; show the potential buyer how to wear it
• An email sign up for exclusive deals and unique content
