Benefits of Using QR Codes on TV

Instant Viewer Engagement

A QR code in a TV ad provides a direct and immediate call to action. Viewers can scan the code to visit a website, download an app, or enter a contest without having to remember a URL or search for a brand online.

Measurable Ad Performance

Unlike traditional TV ads, codes on TV are trackable. By using a dynamic QR code, you can measure the exact number of scans, providing clear data on your ad campaign's reach and effectiveness.

Enhanced Content Experience

Broadcasters can use QR codes to offer supplementary content. During a show, a code on TV can link to behind-the-scenes footage, cast interviews, or interactive polls, creating a richer experience for the audience.

Drive Direct Sales

Displaying a QR code on TV during a commercial or a shopping channel segment allows viewers to instantly purchase a product. The code can lead directly to a product page, streamlining the path from interest to purchase.

Use Cases for TV QR Codes

Interactive TV Commercials

This is one of the most popular use cases. During a TV ad, a QR code can be displayed, prompting viewers to "Scan the QR code for 20% off!" or "Scan to learn more." This creates an immediate and interactive response mechanism.

Live Broadcasts and News Segments

During a live broadcast, a QR code can be used to engage viewers in real-time. It can link to live polls, donation pages for a telethon, or additional resources related to the news segment being discussed.

Show Promotions and Contests

Content creators can use QR codes at the end of a show to link to contests, exclusive content, or social media pages. This is a great way to keep viewers engaged with the show even after the episode has ended.

Best Practices for TV QR Codes

Keep it on Screen Long Enough

Display the QR code for at least 10-15 seconds to give viewers enough time to notice it, get their phones, and scan the code on TV.

Size and Placement

The QR code must be large enough to be easily scanned from a typical viewing distance (e.g.across a living room). Place it in a corner of the screen where it doesn't obstruct key content.
