Benefits of QR Codes on Flyers

With takeout becoming critical to the success of a restaurant business, the ability to connect with customers via their phone has also become a necessity. This doesn't stop at linking to your menu -- this can include websites, online ordering, social media, and more. Since customers are less likely to come to you, you need to bring your business to them.

Make Accessing Your Menu Easy

Adding a QR code to your flyer eliminates steps for your customers that could keep them from accessing and viewing your menu. Your customers have so many things vying for their attention at any given point that it's important to make it as easy and painless as possible for them to pull up your menu. Every additional step is one more opportunity for their attention to get derailed.

Prompt Further Engagement

Giving your customers a QR code to scan encourages them to engage one level deeper with your flyer. It's so easy for customers to look over your messaging and then instantly forget it. By prompting them to take an action, you are further solidifying your message and brand in their head.

Go Touchless

During COVID, QR codes are largely used by restaurants as a means to go touchless and avoid contact. The same logic applies to flyers, which depending on where you post it, could be touched or handled by several people. Giving your customers a QR code to scan allows them to safely interact with your flyer without touching.

How to Add QR codes to a Flyer:

  1. Choose a template. Find a professionally designed flyer template that highlights your main announcement. This can include a specials menu, signs showing that you're open, your hours, discounts, and more.
  2. Create a QR code that supports the goal of your flyer. In the Graphics tab, select QR Code. You will then have the option to link to your print menu design, website, or social media.
  3. Place the code on your flyer. Some flyer designs have a space already created for a code, or you can add one if needed. Then add a quick blurb about where it links to.
  4. Order your prints. Order your flyers from our professional print department and they'll be shipped next business day.
