A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that you can scan with a smartphone. When scanned, it takes the user to a specific website, video, or image. Businesses can also use QR codes in a variety of ways to connect with customers.
Here are some of the best uses of QR codes to connect with customers :
1. Use QR codes on business cards
Business cards are a great way to promote your small business and connect with customers. You can add a QR code to your business card that takes the user to your website or social media page.
