Business cards QR codes for you!
QR codes on business cards are becoming very common, the problem is people are thinking too complex, and not taking in the fact Vcards can not be downloaded on Apple smart phones.
This does not mean QR codes on business cards are bad, it just means you need to think simple and smart, so lets get some facts strait and get the do’s and dont’s on mecards and vcards.
Rules
- Do NOT use Vcards! They do not download to iphones
- Use Mecards instead of Vcards, most QR generators have this option. Mecards work much like Vcards, but can be downloaded to all devices.
- Think simple stupid. Too much content makes the QR code too dense, keep it to a max 3-4 lines of content, name, number, email, and web address. No one really needs an address, mothers maiden name, favorite food etc… saved under your contact. Make a landing page if this is what you are wanting.
- Size does matter. Mecards still get dense like Vcards, which means the QR code has to be larger to scan properly. This is why having less data in the code is essential. Never make a QR code smaller then 2.5x2.5cm as some scanners will not scan QR codes any smaller.
- Custom designing QR codes is what Product Design Studio does best, but designing data QR codes like Vcards and Mecards is extra challenging with more data in the code. More data + destiny = poor design ability.
