PDF QR Code

Provide your readers with excerpts

When putting up banners to promote your latest book, you can add a PDF QR Code on them which gives people easy access to the synopsis or excerpts of it. With their smartphones, your readers can scan the Code and read a few pages to get them interested to purchase it. And with every PDF QR Code, you can provide a link to where they can purchase the book online if they want to finish reading the entire book.

MP3 QR Code

Turn printed words into audio

Implementing the MP3 QR Code on the inside cover of your books can come in handy so your readers can choose whether to read or listen. A simple scan of the QR Code redirects them to a mobile page with a built-in MP3 player that plays audio excerpts from the book. They can listen to it and if they like what they hear, they can click the button on the mobile page which links to the full version of the audiobook. This way, your MP3 Code provides your readers with additional value that comes with every book they purchase.

A single scan is a convenient way to get all the details. You can easily customize the QR Code and include the date, time, address, contact person, and a short description about your author. Plus, your guests can easily save the event on their smartphone calendar so they won’t miss it on the event day.

They can also share the offer with their friends and help you boost your sales even more.
