New research tells us that 14 million users have scanned a QR code with a mobile device. These users tend to be:
- Male – 61%
- 18-34 – 53%
- Affluent (HHI $100,000) – 36%
One of the things that is often overlooked is where the codes originated
- 49% of codes scanned were from magazines or newspapers
- 35% from printed packaging
- 27% were scanned from a website
- 24% were scanned from a flyer or poster on a kiosk
- 13% from a business card or brochure
- 13% originated from a storefront
- 12% from a TV show
What Does This Means To You?
While QR codes are becoming more popular, it’s important you utilize QR codes effectively. Nearly half of all codes scanned originated from a newspaper or magazine. If you’re are using other methods of distributing your message via QR codes, you are missing the audience who will use them.
