QR codes are becoming more and more popular every day. They are a great way to share information with customers, and they can be used and formatted in a variety of ways. There are two main types of QR codes: static and dynamic. Static QR codes once created can never be updated, while dynamic QR codes also don't change after creation they do allow you to update the information attached to the QR code. So, which one is better? Let's take a look at the pros and cons of each type!

Static QR codes have some definite disadvantages when it comes to marketing. Because static codes can't be changed, once the QR Code is created and printed the only way to promote new information is to print a new QR Code. This could be a costly exercise if the code has been printed on merchandise or print material and the information becomes outdated or even worse, incorrect. Another downside is if you want to track how many people are scanning your QR code, you'll need to create a new code each time with different tracking parameters. Luckily neither static nor dynamic QR Codes need any special software or app to read them

Dynamic QR codes have the advantage of being able to change the information attached to them, so they stay up-to-date automatically. This is great if you need to share frequently changing information, like a special offer or coupon code. Dynamic QR codes also allow you to track how many people are scanning them, and you can even edit the QR code design if you want to change it up.

So, which type of QR code is right for you? If you need to share information that is likely to change, or if you want to track how many people are scanning your code, then dynamic QR codes are the way to go. Static QR codes may suit if you're looking for a permanent solution and you have no interest in updating or tracking scans. Ultimately, it depends on your specific needs!
