QR Codes for Small Businesses
Look organised without hiring anyone to build you a website.
Most small businesses do not need a website. They need a page that says what they do, when they are open, and how to reach them, and they need to be able to change it themselves.
You are answering the same three questions all day
Are you open. Do you do this thing. How much is it. Every one of those is a phone call or a message that somebody has to stop and answer.
A page behind a code on your window or your van answers them before anyone calls, including at eleven at night when you are asleep.
Opening hours, including the odd ones
A phone number that dials on tap
Where you are, with a map link
What you actually offer
A way to message or book
You can change it yourself, from your phone
This matters more than anything else. If updating your own information means emailing someone and waiting, it does not get updated.
Editing the page takes a minute on a phone, so the bank holiday hours actually get changed.
One code, wherever people see you
The window, the van, the receipt, the flyer, the back of your card. Same code, same page, one thing to keep current.
If you want to know which one is working, give each place its own code and compare the scan counts.
Ask for reviews at the right moment
A review code on the receipt or handed over at the end of a job catches people while they are still pleased with you. That is a far better moment than an email two days later.
