With our modern and tech-savvy world we see QR codes everywhere: food menus, instruction manuals, and on many well-known applications (Snapchat, Venmo).\u00a0 You can even find them in the most unexpected places: I see a QR code on my air conditioning unit right outside of my window as I write this!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

With the COVID-19 pandemic stretching out over a year, you have probably noticed that QR codes have become more prevalent in order to encourage social distancing and COVID-19 prevention protocols. For example, I went to an outdoor brewery a couple of weekends ago and all of the ordering was done via QR code<\/a>. It was so simple and easy, and with both iOS<\/a> and Android<\/a> allowing you to scan a QR code from your built-in camera app, so it\u2019s as simple as a swipe and a click. As a warning: there is also some risk with QR codes, which you can learn more about here<\/a> to make sure your money or information doesn’t get into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n

At Sogolytics a concern we often hear is about survey participation<\/a> and retention. One of the best ways to raise survey participation and encourage survey retention is to distribute your survey where it\u2019s most convenient for your audience. For many, that means sending it through email or SMS, but that doesn\u2019t always work for everyone. For example, if you work at a food truck or food stand, you most likely won\u2019t be collecting people\u2019s emails when they quickly purchase some food. That\u2019s where the magic of a QR code can come in to help. Print off a picture and have it right by the cash register. It\u2019s easy to ask for feedback when all they have to do is swipe up and aim their camera at the QR code. Creating these codes for your business couldn’t be simpler with a user-friendly\u00a0QR Code generator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another example: imagine that you operate a small mom-and-pop shop where you might not have an email list that encompasses your customer base. The good news is that with QR code survey distribution you don’t need it! You can have a QR code right by the cash register, as mentioned in the example above so you can hear directly from your customers to understand their impression of your business. You can also have your QR code appear on your receipts, too. Have your employee highlight the code and ask them to participate to give their feedback. This is another way to make it easy for you to hear your customer, without them having to struggle to find an email survey invitation through their cluttered inbox.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Phones and tablets have now made QR codes easier than ever as a method to get feedback that\u2019s convenient for you and your customers. But maybe you\u2019re not a small business where you don\u2019t have an email list for your business. Just because you\u2019re sending single-use or multi-use links doesn\u2019t mean you should eliminate QR code distribution. No matter the size of your organization, QR codes are a great way to hear from your audience. If you\u2019re interested in the convenience of QR codes for your surveys, check out how Sogolytics can deliver your survey distribution<\/a> needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
