Not a product gallery. One action per code. Example: QR on the box leads to a 30-second video showing the product in use, then a link to a referral signup (give your friend 15% off your next order).

Every scan is a data point: geographic, demographic, intent. And every scan is a chance to convert a one-time buyer into a member.\nWhat that means for you: if you are a packaged physical product, add a QR code to your primary label that points to a single, specific action—not a homepage.

You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — MSN (NBC News): https://www.msn.com/en-us/food-and-drink/beverages/major-soda-brands-to-update-packaging-to-include-qr-codes-here-s-why/ar-AA26njCZ.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
