Best Practices to Implement QR Code Registration Successfully

7 best practices to implement QR code registration successfully are listed below.

Pay attention to the QR code size.

The QR code size is crucial for people to scan and complete registrations easily. Therefore, creating QR codes in the ideal size, specifically 2x2 cm, is important to ensure a smooth scanning process. QR codes are made in larger or smaller sizes, sometimes leading to scanning issues. The QR code does not scan if the QR code scanner does not focus properly. Therefore, attention is required depending on where and how the QR code is used and placed. A QR code of at least 1x1 cm must be fine, but it's important not to use smaller sizes.

Pay attention to QR code design.

A complex QR code design sometimes prevents successful scans, especially when using mixed colors or colors that do not contrast well. Sometimes users do not pay attention to color contrast when creating QR codes, causing the QR code to blend with the background color. It leads to scanning issues and the QR code not being read. Complex designs cause similar problems. It’s crucial to be very careful to avoid scanning issues when placing and adjusting the size of logos or using frames. Opting for light background colors is important when designing QR codes. Therefore, careful attention is paid to color selection.

Add a Call-to-Action (CTA)

Adding a CTA is essential to encourage more scans for registration using the QR code. An attractive CTA increases the scan rate of the QR code, leading to successful registrations. Sometimes people do not scan a QR code because it does not interest them. However, an eye-catching CTA can make a QR code more appealing. Particularly, using engaging words in the CTA to encourage people to scan the QR code typically results in a significantly higher scan rate. Therefore, it is essential to use a CTA to encourage people to sign up when creating a registration QR code.

Keep the registration form short.

People do not want to complete a lengthy registration form even if they scan a QR code. Statistics consistently show that forms with many questions are filled out less frequently by users, as they perceive it as a waste of time and find the process tedious. However, users are more willing to complete the form when the number of questions is small and specific. They are likely to exit without filling it out if they see a long registration form after scanning a QR code. it is important to keep forms as short and engaging as possible to prevent it.

Test the QR code

The QR code must be tested under various lighting conditions and with different devices before printing. Checking the factors ensures that the registration QR code functions correctly. Sometimes, problems with the device scanning the QR code or poor lighting can prevent the QR code from scanning even after several attempts. Additionally, how the device is held on the QR code affects scanning. Issues with the QR code's color, size, and appearance further impact its functionality. Therefore, the only way to ensure all the factors are correct is to test the QR code by scanning it. Make sure to test the QR code to ensure it directs users to the valid content.

Print the QR code in high quality.

QR code must be high quality if it is to be printed. Poorly printed QR codes are difficult to scan, and some devices do not recognize them. Scanners do not read the patterns within the QR code, leading to difficulties in scanning when printing quality is poor. Scanning succeeds only after multiple attempts In some cases. It's crucial to ensure high-quality printing to prevent these issues and ensure the QR code functions correctly. Therefore, it's important to pay attention to the file format used and the quality of the printer to ensure high-quality results when printing.

Consider the placement of the QR code.

It's important to consider where the QR code is placed carefully to ensure more registration scans. Placing the QR code with a higher potential for registration increases its visibility and usage. The scanning and registration rates are very low if a QR code is used in areas where people have little interest in the event. Similarly, its placement is still considered ineffective even if the QR code is placed in the right audience area; if it's displayed incorrectly, such as being too small on a large billboard. Therefore, it must be placed in the right audience area and displayed properly to achieve the desired results with a QR code.

Ensure the mobile-friendliness of the landing page.

The landing page linked to the QR code must be mobile-friendly. Otherwise, customers struggle to fill out the form on mobile devices, resulting in unsuccessful registrations after scanning the QR code. People prefer to access and fill out forms directly on their devices rather than using other devices since now perform almost all processes through their mobile phones. Users find it impossible to complete the registration if the page is not mobile-friendly, rendering the QR code ineffective. They do not proceed if the page is too confusing, even if users want to register. The solution is to ensure that the landing page for the form embedded in the QR code is mobile-friendly.

Promote across multiple channels.

The QR code must be promoted across multiple channels to reach more people and increase registrations. Simply sharing it in one place is not sufficient for optimal outreach. For instance, some people are very active on social media, and for them, pushing the registration QR code digitally is more effective. On the other hand, some people pay more attention to outdoor advertisements, and a registration QR code on a street poster captures attention. Therefore, it is important to distribute the registration QR code through various channels to reach the entire potential audience and ensure that everyone has access to the QR code.

Analyze QR code results.

It's important to analyze the results after the QR code for registration is deployed. The data from created QR codes is visible on the dashboard using QR Code Creator. Analyzing the data helps identify which audience segments are registering more frequently. Users see how many people scanned the QR code, where they scanned it from, which device they used, and at what time when they accessed the dashboard. The data helps clarify where the registration QR code must be placed. Therefore, tracking QR code data and analyzing the results contribute to more successful outcomes in the event registration process.

How to Create QR Code for Event Registration

To create a QR code for event registration, users must log into QR Code Creator and select the Event QR code option. All the information about the event is included, along with a registration link. Selecting the “register” CTA button, adding the link in the setup info section, and customizing the event registration QR code design before downloading it is needed. QR code for event registration takes people to the event details, which include a link. They are redirected to the registration page. Users proceed with registration by clicking on the link.

Will I Get Notified When a Customer Scans a Registration QR Code?

No, you will not get notified when a customer scans a registration QR code. Every new customer scan doesn't necessarily trigger a notification. However, customers view QR code statistics in the QR Code Creator’s dashboard if the person or company creating the QR code wants to know how many people have scanned it. The person or company who created the QR code receives an email notification when someone scans a paused or expired QR code, prompting users to reactivate the registration QR code.
