QR codes for record stores, crate dividers and listening
Collectors browse fast and love to listen. A code on a crate divider that opens a playlist of this week's arrivals lets customers hear before they dig.
Stock turns daily, so a code that opens a living page beats a printed list.
This is a dynamic QR code: $3 once, and you can change where it points at any time without reprinting. How that works
What should a record store QR code open?
Keep it about the music and the stock.
- New arrivals, updated as you price them.
- A listening playlist for the week.
- Upcoming in-store shows and release days.
- Want lists and trade-in rules.
Where should the codes go?
The window, the front counter, crate dividers and the bags. Keep them at flip-through height, matte and at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) square on dividers.
Can I sell vinyl online with a QR code?
The code opens your shop page. Online selling is up to your store's setup. Use one code per placement to see what drives visits.
