Each providing information, but without often crossing over to influence the effectiveness of the other. That shouldn’t be the case. Here is a perfect example of how PR materials can be used to directly influence a sale: QR codes. QR codes are a scannable code designed to take a consumer or visitor directly to a webpage. Used at the point of sale, such as on an information card in a retail store, they can be a great direct gateway to putting information in the hands of a prospective customer to convince them to complete the sale. While QR codes can take interested shoppers to a page that includes a discount code or other more obvious sales tactic, it can also be a way to greatly expanding supporting information beyond what can be included in a display at the store. ![Put PR Content To Work For Sales With QR Codes](https://www.jonespr.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Images/Graphic.QRcodes.Funnel-521-1.png?width=487&name=Graphic.QRcodes.Funnel-521-1.png "Put PR Content To Work For Sales With QR Codes") Think about loading that destination page with: - Detailed product information - Product awards and industry recognition - Product reviews or media mentions - Social proof, such as Facebook updates or tweets You’ll find more ideas for point-of-sale content, along with content for buyers in all stages of consideration, in our easy-to-ready reference sheet: [Content Strategy for the Sales Funnel](https://www.jonespr.net/content-strategy-for-all-stages-of-the-sales-funnel).
