QR codes for shops, retail and makers
A shop sells to the people inside it and loses everyone who walks past, or leaves without buying. A code in the window, on the tag and in the bag keeps the conversation going after they walk away.
The best retail codes continue the sale: new arrivals, the online shop, care instructions, a reorder link.
