Shops hand these to customers or keep one at the till so people can follow them in one scan. The link can be any page: Instagram, a menu, a catalogue or a review page.

Who buys

Cafes, salons, bakeries, boutiques, clinics, tutors and home businesses. They want two things: more customers finding them, and a shop that looks cared for. Personalised prints help with both, and they cost less than most printed signage.

How to offer it

The QR code keychain is the easiest first sale. Ask for the link they most want people to open, often Instagram or a Google review page, and print a sample. Business owners understand it the moment they scan it.

From there, offer a small bundle: a few QR keychains for the counter, a door sign with opening hours, and a name plate for reception. A batch of name keychains with the shop name works as a customer giveaway. Browse signs and name plates for more ways to put a shop name on display.

If you sell at a market, the stall holders next to you are small businesses too. Our post on selling at craft fairs and markets has tips for turning a stall into business orders.

Home businesses are worth a look too. Bakers, tutors and tailors who sell through WhatsApp often have no shop sign at all, and a QR keychain that opens their catalogue or chat link gives them something to hand out at the school gate or a local event.

Tips

  • Test every QR code with two different phones
  • Match the business's colours where you can
  • Show the approval picture with their real name and link
  • Offer a reorder price for giveaway batches
  • Ask happy customers to tag you when they display your work

Questions

How do I find small business customers?

Start with shops you already buy from. Make a sample with their own name or link and show it to them in person. A finished piece with their name on it starts the conversation for you.

Will the QR code scan reliably?

Print in two strongly contrasting colours and test the scan on a phone before delivering. Short links make simpler codes, so use a short link where you can.

How should I price giveaways?

Offer quantity tiers, since giveaway keychains are usually bought in batches. Our pricing guide covers how to set a rate that still pays at volume.

Can they reorder later?

Yes. Save their text, fonts and colours, and you can make the same files again in minutes whenever they run out.
