Determine Code Type
There are two types of QR Codes, Static and Dynamic.
Static QR codes are best for simple, one-time uses like sharing contact details or a fixed website link, while dynamic QR codes are ideal for marketing campaigns where you might need to change the landing page or offer over time.
Most of the codes can be Static codes and can be setup using the instructions below, if you determine you need a Dynamic code you can work with Tech to create the code by emailing them at [email protected].
Some thinks to think through when trying to decide if the code should be Static or Dynamic.
Do you really need the analytics tracking?
Do you need to be able to change the link after the code is created?
Note: Static codes cannot be changed once created but Tech can create Redirects for that page/URL if needed later on.
For example, the URL vianations.org/edm could be set to direct to the most current EDM page so it could be a Static code as we can change it on our end instead of needing to change it in a QR Code program.
