What is a Custom QR Code Sticker?
A QR code is a unique configuration of black and white squares. The pattern stores a URL, and when the code is scanned by a mobile device, it sends the user to that URL. Though they were invented all the way back in 1994, this method of visually storing information really picked up team alongside the rapid evolution of the smartphone.
Now, QR codes are a popular way for businesses, makers, and creators to offer further information in an easy-to-access way. From webpages to shipping boxes, QR codes offer a digital touchpoint anywhere you can fit an image.

Ways You Can Make the Most of Your Custom QR Code Stickers
Here at noissue, we partner with tapkit to create custom QR codes and emblazon them on your custom packaging. Each new code links to a microsite – which is like a smaller, more contained version of a standard website. Once you have your custom code, you can jump into tapkit’s platform and edit the dynamic code, tweaking everything from your microsite’s layout to the URL your code sends users to.
There are so many ways you can use a tool this versatile, especially when you use customized stickers to emblazon the code on any kind of packaging.
Expand on your brand
The research has it: consumers want it all. Customers want to know more about the brands they choose to engage with. What do you value? Who do you support? What is your mission? Knowing these things allows them to connect with you beyond your product offering, driving a long-lasting and loyal relationship (a.k.a. the envy of business owners everywhere).
Use your customized QR stickers to introduce customers to your brand. Educate them on your story and values, offering a space for them to explore which elements of your brand matter most to them.
Check out this example from tapkit of a great way to execute this.
Enable quick reordering
Nothing loops a customer back into the conversion funnel faster than convenience. If they love your product, make it as simple as possible for them to order it again. You can craft your microsite to be a curated selection of your product range, encouraging them to tour your offerings and re-order (whether it be at the moment they receive their package or much later).
This is an especially effective strategy if your product is a consumable, as you can include custom QR code stickers coded to the individual products somewhere on their packaging. Then, once your customer is fresh out, all they have to do is scan to reorder.

Scan for exclusive discount
Once a customer has journeyed all the way down the sales funnel to a conversion, the next step is to draw them back with an offering that appeals to their needs. Custom QR codes offer an efficient and effective way to drive customers back into the funnel… exclusive discounts!
Include a quick and easy way for your customers to get a discount on their next order with a simple QR-linked microsite. You can use the offer as a lead magnet by requiring their contact details to release the discount, or build trust with a no-strings-attached discount offer to drive more purchases.
