Business card QR codes fail when they are decorative — too small, no CTA, or pointing at a generic homepage. Treat the code as the fastest way to save your contact or book a meeting.
What to link
- vCard download — one tap to save phone and email
- Booking page — Calendly or similar
- Portfolio Mini Page — case studies on mobile
- LinkedIn or Link-in-bio — when you update often
Size on a standard card
Minimum ~2 × 2 cm in a corner with quiet zone intact. Vector export required — print quality guide. Cards are scanned at arm's length; test before ordering 500 units.
Dynamic vs static on cards
Static vCard QR is fine if your phone number never changes. Dynamic wins when you might switch booking tools or highlight a new case study monthly. See comparison.
