Frequently Asked Questions
Add UTM parameters to your destination URL before generating the QR code. For example: yoursite.com/landing?utm_source=flyer&utm_medium=qr&utm_campaign=spring2026. Then track these parameters in Google Analytics under Campaigns.
The rule of thumb: the QR code should be 1/10th of the scanning distance. For a poster viewed at 5 feet, the QR code should be about 6 inches. For a flyer held at arm's length, 1-1.5 inches works well. Always test by scanning from the expected distance.
For campaigns where you might want to change the destination URL later (e.g., rotate promotions), dynamic QR codes are better. For permanent links (e.g., company website), static QR codes work fine. QRAmplify generates static QR codes that link to your URL — you can always change the content at that URL.
Always include a clear instruction near the QR code. Effective CTAs include: "Scan for 20% off," "Scan to watch the video," "Scan for the full menu," or "Scan to download the app." A QR code without context gets far fewer scans.
