Turn foot traffic into followers
An Instagram QR code opens your profile in one scan. People land on your feed, see your work and tap Follow, without searching for your name.
Why not just print your handle?
Handles with dots and underscores are easy to mistype, and search often shows look-alike accounts first. A code takes people to the right profile every time.
Where it works
Shop counters and fitting rooms. Packaging and thank-you cards. Market and gallery stalls. Restaurant tables, so guests can tag you. Hairdressers, tattoo artists and photographers use them to show a portfolio on the spot.
Make it look like you
Use your brand color and rounded dots so the code feels like part of your design. Add your logo in the center; error correction rises automatically so it still scans.
Codes on packaging
A small code on a box insert or hang tag reaches people at home, when they have time to look. Give them a reason: care tips, styling ideas or the story behind the product. Two centimeters (0.8 in) is enough for something held in the hand.
Get the first three seconds right
Most people decide whether to follow within moments of landing on a profile. Before you print, pin your three strongest posts and check that your bio says what you do in one line.
See which placement works
The code holds no tracking, but Instagram’s professional dashboard shows profile visits by day. Put a code somewhere new, like the counter or a shopping bag, and watch for the change.
