One of the ways QR Codes can help Network Marketers is by creating a social buzz online. If you’ve wondered how to add more fans and followers and have a more active and vibrant social media account, QR Codes could just do the trick.
Here are 2 tips on how to create a social buzz using QR Codes:
1. Create a separate social media marketing campaign for your MLM business. For example, you can do the following:
* Have quizzes and trivia where people can only participate via social media
* Offer coupons and giveaways that are only accessible to your fans or followers
* Have people ‘Like’ a product, service or experience they bought or had with your business.
* Create a conversation about a particular topic on your social media accounts that relates to your products or services. This conversation should be fun and stimulating enough to make people want to join and participate. For example, a shoe store could start a thread about “If I had $25, $50, $100 I would buy this…” and then reward the best post with a voucher to buy your products.
Whatever campaign you come up with, use QR Codes to enroll more people to the social media buzz by using QR Codes in your offline ads. For example at a hotel meeting you could have a QR Code that reads “Join this weeks training or register for an event and they stand a chance to win a free tickets for two”. The code would obviously lead the scanner to your email, fanpage or a website. You could even have a Qr Code that leads them to tweet the event you are having for that day or evening.
2. Another way QR Codes can help with your social media presence is through checkins and reviews. You can make it easier for people to do Foursquare and Facebook checkins on their mobile phone by providing a specific QR Code within your store that they can easily scan.
These checkins improve your social ratings and increase your business exposure to a larger network of the scanner’s friends. In addition, you can have your clients who have bought your products scan the codes and leave their reviews on social review sites like Google Places and Yelp, helping you to get more reviews in the bag that will boost your SEO rankings.
