What Are Static QR Codes Used for?
Static QR Codes are great for delivering information you have control over or that will not change.
- One-time-use codes that needn’t be changed. If your linking to a web page on your website then the code is just a direction as you can change the content of the page at any time. It is also better viewed on a mobile and can contain code for analytics etc. It can also be used for limited time events, sales etc. If you have product info or similar content again you can change it at anytime.
- Information that shouldn’t be changed. If your going to print the QR Code on any material and do not intend to change it in the future then this is perfect for a static QR Code. We use them for our brochures simply because we want the person scanning the code to come to our website. Real-estate Agents also will use static QR Codes as the house sales continually change so no real need for dynamic QR Codes all though many of our clients like recycling their codes.
- Personal information. Personal information tends to be relatively simple and the medium the QR is presented isn’t revisited over and over. Think of an email signature or a paper resume. People aren’t typically re-reading your old emails or resumes. It’s also not necessary to track usage metrics on QR codes with personal information . That’s something dynamic QR codes can do and static QR codes cannot.
Do Static QR Codes Expire?
No, static QR codes do not expire. The only way a static QR code becomes non-scannable is if something physically disrupts the pattern and alignment of the code itself. Information in a static QR code is hard-coded into the QR code’s matrix of black and white squares. That’s all a static QR code can do. It can’t track scans or other usage metrics, so it wouldn’t know when to expire even if you wanted it to.
Tracking and statistics are best done by using landing pages etc with analytics which will provide a much more comprehensive set of data.
What Content Can You Store in a Static QR Code?
A Static QR Code can store the following content and most do not need tracking:
- URL: Leads the user to a web page
- Text: Display simple text such as message, promo code, or serial code
- Contact Details: Displays contact information and allows users to save you as a contact
- Wifi Credentials: Android devices can access Wifi network. iOS devices can view network name and password
- Maps location: Shows location on Google Maps
- Calendar Event: Prompts user to save an event (with details) to their phone calendar
- Phone number: Prompts user to dial the number
- Email Address: Open mail application with your email in the recipient field
- Bitcoin Address: Displays your Bitcoin wallet address
- PayPal Payment: Redirects to a PayPal page that prompts the user to send you a payment
- And Some More…
You can either encode content directly, or link Static QR Codes to a webpage.
