How QR codes can save your business from the Covid 19 pandemic


One thing is clear during this pandemic: evolution is key. Minuteman Press Menlyn has recognised the need to adjust marketing strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic and in response has included QR Codes to their list of services. 





To survive Covid 19, it is clear businesses have to consider new ways of accomplishing tasks that have been made unsafe by the pandemic. For example, Because we can’t freely hand out Business Cards like we used to, adopting the use of QR codes allows us to  can’t hand out business cards like we used to before, QR codes are a safe, socially distanced way to still use them without worrying about the Covid 19 infection risk.

The lack of people on the streets will have a negative impact on Print ads. Take Brochures, for example, as there are fewer people out, there are fewer people to distribute brochures to and due to social distancing, they might be concerned about taking a brochure from a stranger.
