Who prints newsletters with a QR code
- Homeowner associations: a mailbox flyer with the headlines, the full minutes and budget behind the code.
- Schools and parent groups: a note in the backpack that opens the full calendar and forms.
- Churches and clubs: a bulletin board notice for members who do not read email.
- Offices and shops: a staff notice in the break room that opens the full update.
Keep an archive of past issues
Each issue can be its own link. Pro keeps every issue live with no link limit, so an "all past issues" page can list them for good. The free plan has 3 links, so on free, replace one issue's file to reuse its link and code.
A QR code inside an email newsletter
A link is short enough that the code stays small and simple: QR code capacity grows with the amount of data, and a short address needs only one of the smallest versions. If the newsletter goes out by email as well, put the plain link next to the code. Someone reading on their phone cannot point that same phone's camera at the screen, and most will simply tap the link. The code is for the printed copy on the fridge.
FAQ
Newsletter QR code questions
How do I make a QR code for a newsletter?
Upload the full newsletter at the top of this page, confirm your email with the 6-digit code, and save the QR code image. Add it to the printed summary in a box with a line such as "Read the full edition".
How do I make a QR code for an event in the newsletter?
Upload the event flyer or details as their own file to get a separate code. Then the event has its own open count, apart from the newsletter.
How do I scan a QR code that is in an email?
On the same phone the camera cannot see the code, so tap the link printed next to it instead. Many phones can also read a code from a screenshot in the photo app.
Is there a QR code on every page?
One code is usually enough, on the first page or the back. Add a second only if a page has its own separate download, such as a form.
Will I know if anyone read it?
Yes. You get an email every time the link is opened, and the stats page shows every open by day and by country, plus the total reading time.
