Exploring QR codes limitless marketing potential in the age of Covid-19


The Covid-19 pandemic forced us to make some very drastic changes to the way we work and play. For marketing, which is heavily dependent on physical and social connection, the pandemic has been especially disruptive. 





The pandemic has been so disruptive that we have had to devise new, safer ways to promote products and services. Thankfully, QR Codes were already there. All we needed to do was explore their limitless potential a bit deeper than we had done before.





Many people are currently in self-isolation and not getting as much as they used to. The limited number of people on the streets has had a negative impact on Print ads. Take Brochures, for example, as there are fewer people out, there aren’t enough people to distribute brochures to. And due to social distancing, many people are concerned about taking printed marketing materials from strangers. QR codes can fix this.
