1. Enhance the shopping experience

Allow readers to shop straight from the pages of fashion magazines by having PayPal QR codes that allow readers to snag that new piece of clothing right away. Or, use a Website QR code to direct shoppers to your own ecommerce site where they can order at will!


Partner with influencers by having YouTube QR codes that lead to honest reviews of products featured in the magazine to help make your readers savvy shoppers.

2. Enrich reader engagement

Reading words on a page is one thing, but QR codes on newspapers take stories and news to a whole new realm. Connect a Download File QR code to an MP3 of the interview you’ve featured. Link a YouTube QR code to a video demonstration of the recipe on the page or have a Multi-Country Links QR code lead to landing pages that frame a story for different regions around the world.

There are so many ways newspapers and magazines can use QR codes to engage readers on a deeper level.

3. Connect readers to writers

Create Social Links QR codes for the writers who appear in your publication and print them beside the writers’ names and photos. Readers who want to stay up to date with the writers can scan the codes and choose the social platforms they’re familiar with to connect. If writers are more interested in potential networking possibilities, a digital business card QR code is the way to go.

4. Amplify your promotions

Coupon QR codes are a fabulous way to give readers a deal on your advertised products and services. Rather than having to cut out paper coupons that they could potentially lose, they simply scan the code and the coupon is there for them on their phone. Scan, redeem, save. It’s so easy!


Nonprofits can collect donations by printing a PayPal QR code with their ads. Readers who are moved to donate can do so right then and there with a scan of their phone. It’s almost too easy.

All you need to do is read the data or download it in a report you can share with your team. It’s the easiest thing in the entire world. (We checked. Maybe breathing is easier.)
