This study approaches the question of how to use QR codes as a physical tool to attractconsumers to a digital platform. This is done by creating designs for three companies anddisplaying them publicly in different locations. In total, the designed QR codes were scanned15 times across all 11 locations and were affected by things such as location, design, andamount of displayed information. This was followed by a survey (N=51) which concluded thatthey rarely scan QR codes due to, as an example, lack of interest in the information. Despitethe low scan rates of the tested designs, the respondents of the survey view the tool assomething to make things accessible quickly and efficiently. Companies were also interviewed(N=5) and had a generally positive view on QR codes, some using them more than others.
