Ever since smartphone updates allowed people to scan QR codes using their device’s camera, we’ve seen them everywhere. Your donors and supporters use QR codes all the time—to order from menus, check in for appointments, and sign up for services.
What does this have to do with your fundraising? Great question! At Qtego, our mission is to deliver powerful, easy-to-use technology that helps you raise more money for your cause. And we’re finding that QR codes are a simple way to boost event fundraising profits and crowdfunding success.
What QR Codes Do
Scanning a QR code with a smartphone camera automatically opens the target website. It’s so much easier than typing a website address into a browser! When it comes to making events run smoothly or increasing bids and donations, anything we can do to smooth the path and lower barriers is helpful. QR codes are a great way to do that.
How to Make a QR Code
Good news! It’s simple to make your own QR code.
1. Go to: qrcode-monkey.com
2. Input your target website (such as your event homepage, crowdfunding site, or QLink registration page)
3. Grab your custom QR code and start using it
Where to Use QR Codes
Any time you need to direct guests or donors to a website page, consider a QR code. For in-person events, hybrid events, and even crowdfunding events like Giving Tuesday, a QR code can help things run more smoothly.
Boost Event Fundraising Profits
Increase Crowdfunding Success
If you’re doing a mailer, flier, or print advertising for a crowdfunding campaign or annual event like Giving Tuesday, use a QR code to direct people to your page. We’ve even seen organizations successfully use QR codes on billboards!
QR codes are an easy way to get the word out about your events and campaigns. Guests appreciate the simplicity, and you’ll love seeing how QR codes help you boost event fundraising profits!
Of course, the best predictor of success is not the QR code itself; it’s the platform where it lands. Qtego’s leading event fundraising tools make every aspect of your job easier. We only do custom packages, so you always get what you need, when you need it, with outstanding service.
