Beacon gives you the ability to generate a unique QR code that will direct potential supporters directly to your forms to make sure they see exactly what you want them to see. Instead of having to manually search for your form by entering a URL, they can simply scan the QR code and be taken directly to the form. This can increase the likelihood that they will complete the form and either become a supporter, sign up for an event or donate to a good cause!
Note: QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can be read by smartphones with a camera and a QR code reader app.
Why would you want to generate a QR code for your form?
QR codes are a great way to make it easy for your supporters to access your form without the hassle of clicking on links or typing out URLs. These codes can be placed on a wide variety of items, from products to flyers, posters to business cards, and even billboards - in short, anything that can be pointed at with a smartphone!
By using QR codes, you can make it more convenient for your supporters to engage with your form and show their support for your cause. So why settle for old-fashioned links and cumbersome URLs when you can harness the power of QR codes to make your form more accessible and user-friendly than ever before?
