QR in print advertisements:
It’s a great idea to use a QR code on your print advertisements. In Pakistan, companies use different ways to market their products and services. One of the most effective and old mediums of marketing is print media through which a range of audiences is captured regularly. Because printing is never a good option for the environment, we can rely on QR codes to save space and offer detailed information about certain services to the customers on phone. So instead of consuming space on paper, companies can shift all the information to online mediums which can be accessed by the customers at any time.
Making payments:
QR codes can also be used to make the overall process of payments easier to achieve. These codes can easily store information regarding a person’s bank account which means that a customer can make payment of the received services at any time without having to wait in long ques and waiting for his turn to come. Apart from fast payments, QR codes also enable safe payments. This practice is not common in Pakistan but companies can save lots of their time and effort by using QR codes at different platforms to make their payment processing quicker, safer and more efficient.
Securing information:
Data breaching is an issue that is being faced by people around the world. Companies in Pakistan can make the most of QR codes to keep the data of their customers safe. Through QR codes, access to certain information is granted only when an authentic person is asking for it. The system, therefore, saves companies and customers from lots of inconvenience and damages related to data breaches. Though, it must be kept in mind that it is important to use the latest and most updated version of QR codes to achieve the best results.
