You want to be seen, heard, known, and of course, I obliged.
In pixel’s dance, secrets lie,
A sultry tease, to catch your eye,
Scan the codes, unlock the doors,
Subtle wit, a world explores.

Ohkayy….so what has that to do with QR codes? Well come closer, let me whisper down the WAY I made IT happen.
I believe in making the reaching out stage FAST, QUICK and FULL OF VISUALS.
People have fewer attention spans and you got to make their seconds worth it. So I started early and experimented on Quick Response Codes QR codes.

With the integration of QR code scanners into default camera apps, QR codes have the potential to continue playing a significant role in marketing oneself or personal branding.
Here are a few ways I plan to use QR codes (That you can try as well):
- Digital Business Cards: Scanning the QR code would allow potential clients or employers to save the information or visit the provided links quickly. Kind of like a convenient Linktr.ee
- Resume Enhancements: Too much info and word limit restriction? No problemo! This interactive element can help applicants stand out and provide more comprehensive information to recruiters.
- Social Media Integration: Have a hot well traction content and make people wanna subscribe for more? Scanning the code could direct users to a landing page where they can easily follow, connect, or engage with the creator on various social platforms.
- Product and Service Promotion: Make them COME for you. Let your users scan the code to instantly access discounts, videos, tutorials, or other interactive experiences.
- Personal Websites and Blogs: Aren’t you reading one? It did work.
- Event and Networking Integration: QR codes can simplify networking at events by allowing attendees to exchange contact information easily. Scanning a QR code on someone’s badge or nametag can automatically save their details to the scanning person’s phone or trigger a connection request on professional networking platforms. I met a micro influencer that way. He is a regular in most common Indian goods advertisements.
