QR Codes are popping up everywhere. Whether or not your phone reads a QR Code or not, you’ve probably seen them on boxes of cereal, billboards and in magazines.
Jay Baer gives us 3 tips on when QR Codes are more valuable than just a URL:
- Unlock information, not a destination
- Lead the user to information that’s relevant immediately
- Perfect mobile formatting of the information delivered
I agree that QR Codes shouldn’t just be a destination. Give the person who takes the time to scan the QR code something valuable.
What does this mean for your church?
Think outside the box. Use QR Codes:
- At the entrance of your sanctuary for people to scan and download an electronic version of your church bulletin (Go Green!)
- In your printed church bulletin to receive details for church events. Provide time, date, place, rsvp info within the QR Code.
- To provide sermon notes
What other ways can you think of to use a QR Code in your church?

- Write in a conversational tone. Pretend you’re having a conversation with your reader.
- Tell stories…keep them short, but people will be able to relate to stories and will be more likely to interact and share their similar story.
- Use a mix of short and long sentences. People tend to skim a post and only read if something interesting catches their eye.
- Create lists…(like this one). People like lists and they are easy to read.
- Interviews- post interviews with people your readers will find interesting.
- Controversial topics always lend themselves to a debate. Use discretion.
- Share what you know. Post articles based on your own personal learning experience.
- Write about what’s currently in the news. Ask yourself, ”What are others talking about?”
- Ask open ended questions- but provide a couple of different viewpoints and allow readers to take a side or create their own response.
- Polls- create questions that people can answer with the click of a mouse. If it takes longer than 5 seconds to respond, it might be too long.
