Q: What are some best practices to help ensure my QR code for event registration is successful?

Test the code: Always test your QR code to make sure it actually works. You want to confirm the code doesn’t just scan correctly, but that the place it takes them to makes sense to the user. Think mobile first: Make sure whichever webpage you point to is mobile-optimised. Since your audience is definitely coming from a smart device, you don’t want to lose their attention or break their trust by giving them a website that’s hard to read or use on a small screen. Add a URL, just in case: If someone does not have a QR reader and wants a workaround, adding an alternative URL to your printed matter is a nice gesture. Keep the link alive: You might be using the QR code to generate excitement about a one-time event. But if it appears on a poster, or other type of “hard copy” collateral, your URL needs to be permanent, too.

Question 1

Do I need to create QR codes for my event attendees ticketing?

Accepted Answer

No. Eventbrite's software takes care of that for you. Event tickets are automatically assigned a unique QR code at registration. You can use the free Event Organizer check-in app to conduct contactless check-ins with a simple scan of the ticket’s QR code.

Question 2

Can I create custom QR codes for my event?

Accepted Answer

Yes. To create a scannable custom QR code that will send customers to your event listing's web address, you can use a URL shortener tool like bit.ly or goo.gl. Once you get the shortened link, simply add .qr to the end of the new URL. A QR code will instantly appear on the screen. Make sure to test the code before your final sign-off, to ensure it directs customers to the correct event website.
