WhatsApp Marketing Tip: Create WhatsApp QR Code

With WhatsApp, you offer your customers a simple, fast contact option that is already used millions of times in everyday life. In Germany alone, 60 million people communicate via the messenger WhatsApp, which has belonged to the Facebook parent company Meta for several years. Via the WhatsApp Business API, companies can now also include WhatsApp in their customer communication and online marketing. And this 100% GDPR compliant. For an easy contact via your website or your advertisements, the insertion of a WhatsApp QR code is a good idea. In this article, you will learn what function such a QR code has and how to create it quickly and easily.

‍

What is a WhatsApp QR Code?

‍

A WhatsApp Web QR Code allows you to easily contact your customers via WhatsApp using a smartphone. As with any other QR code, your customers can scan the WhatsApp QR code with their smartphone camera and will be redirected to the WhatsApp app (if installed on the device). There, the chat with your company opens completely automatically. If stored in the QR code, a predefined message is stored directly in the text input field, which your customers can then send.

‍

What you can use your WhatsApp QR code for

‍

The application possibilities for a WhatsApp QR code for easy contact are almost unlimited. It can be integrated into all advertising materials, for example, and is also ideally suited for print advertisements, creating a link between analog and digital media. Wherever customers might want to ask queries or seek contact, the QR code can be placed. Good examples of use for your WhatsApp Web QR code would be:

‍

Printed on orders, delivery bills or invoices
In print advertisements for easy contact
On company flyers as a supplement to email and telephone
On their company vehicles
