How we could make a QR Code?

The process of creating the QR code is quite clear and easy to use.

First step is, that we have to select a QR code generator.

There are tons of QR code generators out there, but most popular are Visualead, Kaywa, QR Stuff and GOQR.me. There are some things that need to pay attention when choosing a QR code generator, such as you can track and analyze performance, if it is possible to create a code that is unique to each brand. Furthermore, if it is compatible with conventional QR-code readers.

Second step is, you have to design and link it up.

Customizing design of the codes to your brand is most fun part of creating QR codes. You can create code look like your logo, or you can reflect your website's design scheme.

To demonstrate how easy to use it, you need to select one of the QR-code generators and make the passing game together. I choose GOQR.me.

1. Need to choose what type of content of your QR code to send the consumer to. Let’s choose a URL for this example.

 

2. Then need to insert URL (content).

 

3. Then check out the preview. Also possible customize by your desire, then download  or/and embed where needed.

 

Also possible customize QR code further, such as adding a logo or adjusting the colors, creating social options, and much more.

Third step is need to test our created QR code.

Very important to check if the QR code “reads” correctly. Free tool Google Goggles or QR Code Reader, which automatically takes you to the fact that he is "reading.", which takes a picture and then it tells you what link or item it “reading to”.

And last step is need to track and analyze performance.

Need to follow the campaigns using of QR-codes, to see whether it really does work. Also watch out for traffic originating from each specific code.
