Static vs. Dynamic: What are the pros and cons of these two QR Code formats?

Honestly, both formats can help upgrade your print and digital marketing strategy. But depending on your needs, whether you are running an advertisement campaign or hosting a business convention, different kinds of QR Code solutions can help you optimize your message and accomplish your goals.

Static QR Code

This format, ideal for personal use or to automate large scale QR Code creation for ID cards or any other print marketing that does not require tracking, is free. You can customize them to blend with your brand image or stand out, you can generate as many as you want, but they are not ideal for professionals who want to optimize their campaigns. You cannot edit them once they have been created, nor change the type down the line.

Dynamic QR Code

If the name of the game is flexibility, adaptability, and long-term commitment, then this the format you want to use. Ideal for the marketing aims of businesses, education, and nonprofit organizations, especially for advertising campaigns, the subscription requirement is nothing compared to the amount of money and time the Dynamic QR Code will save you.

  • Typos, mistakes, and changes are inevitable realities. Perhaps you want to turn your Coupon QR Code into an Image Gallery QR Code, or maybe you noticed post-print that your editor left a dangling modifier in your bio. The Dynamic QR Code’s editable nature makes fixing all of those and many more mistakes an easy task.
  • Tracking metrics help you improve future campaigns. Dynamic QR Code Solutions provide you with the number of unique and total scans, as well as location, time, and operating device for each of those scans so you can re-target your audience by location and demographic.
