best practices

• The web is a good environment for codes if it adds value

• Codes need to provide immediate access to relevant content

• Placement of code

• Don’t place a code in an ad like you would a URL

• Don’t assume user has a 2D code reader, include CTA to educate

• Provide incentive to scan

• Ensure mobile service is available
