When using PicTomo's album QR code at events, "Where should I place it so the most people participate?" is a crucial consideration. Here are QR code placement ideas organized by event type.
Weddings and Receptions
- Place cards: Print QR code on the back of table place cards. Each guest will notice it
- Welcome board: Display QR code on the welcome board near the reception with the message "Upload your photos here!"
- Table cards: Place small card stands with QR codes on each table
- Profile booklet: Add a QR code page to the couple's profile booklet
Sports Days and Athletic Festivals
- Event program: Print QR code on the last page of the distributed program
- Entrance gate area: Display a large QR code poster nearby
- Spectator area signs: Add QR code to signs reading "Share today's photos here"
Reunions and Class Meetups
- Invitation: Include QR code in mailed or messaged invitations
- Reception: Hand out QR code cards along with name tags at check-in
- Organizer's phone: Display QR code on your phone screen and pass it around
Corporate Events and Company Gatherings
- Company email: Attach QR code image to event announcement emails
- Chat platforms: Share album URL and QR code image on Slack or Teams
- Venue posters: Display QR code posters in break areas and entrances
Tips for Effective QR Codes
- Add a message: Include action-prompting text like "Took a photo? Upload it here!"
- Place in multiple locations: Don't rely on just one spot; placing codes in multiple visible locations increases participation
- QR code size: Minimum 2cm x 2cm. Make it larger if people will scan from a distance
- Test first: Always test that the QR code scans properly before printing
Summary
The key to effective QR codes is placing them in visible locations with clear, encouraging messages. Position QR codes in multiple spots, keeping in mind when participants are likely to have their phones out (at reception, during meals, during breaks).
