Why Dynamic QR (Not Static)
Critical: Once packaging is printed, you can never change a static QR code's destination. With yLink.pro dynamic QR codes, you change what the QR links to anytime - without reprinting. Same physical code, different destination every month/season/campaign.
Setup
- Decide what the QR should do (reorder? recipe? review?)
- Create landing page or Bio Page on yLink.pro
- Generate dynamic QR code with brand colors + logo
- Send SVG to your packaging designer
- Monitor scans from dashboard after launch
- Change destination seasonally without reprinting
We added QR codes to our cereal boxes linking to video recipes. 11% of buyers scan them. Of those, 8% click the reorder link on the same page. That's pure incremental revenue from packaging we already print. The QR cost us nothing - just yLink.pro free account.
