If you would like to create a QR code with your own brand, to put on promotional products, there are several QR Code generators from various websites that allow you to do so.
Choose Your Code Generator
Finding one is as simple as performing a Google search for QR Code Generator. I used https://app.qr-code-generator.com, so for the purposes of this post, the instructions will be for that particular generator. However, you can use any one that you prefer as long as they have the following options:
- ability to edit QR Code by uploading your logo
- the option to make the code dynamic (you'll have to create an account)
- free (most sites allow you to create a certain amount for free)
Instructions
- Go to https://app.qr-code-generator.com
- Create a free account (you need this to create dynamic QR codes)
- Confirm account creation notice sent to your email
- Click on CREATE QR CODE
- Select your QR Code type
- Click Next
- Type the URL that you want visitors taken to when code is scanned
- Label your QR Code with a title
- Click Next
- Upload your logo
- Choose colours of your QR Code
- Click Done
- Download your QR Code
- Use you QR Code on merchandise
Note: Re Step 2: You can still create QR Codes without an account but they will be static instead of dynamic.
Example of Step 11
When you choose your colours, you have the option of changing the inner and outer eye colours. The eyes are those square shapes at the top and bottom left as well as the top right. You can also change the shape of the eyes, as you can see at the top and further down.
Example of Step 12
Once you've created your QR Code and click on the download button shown at the right side of the following image, you are shown two download options; With Frame and Standard.
You can edit the With Frame option to change its appearance in colour and style.
How To Use Your QR Code
Once you've downloaded your QR Code, you can place it on various apparel and other products to promote you website, social media, etc. depending on which URL you typed in when you created it.
In my case, I typed in the URL for my DTube channel and I've placed the QR Code on a t-shirt. When people scan the image on the shirt, it will take them to my video channel.
You can also put it on business cards, bumper stickers, button, tote bags, hats, etc. It's a great way to promote your content at conventions and meet-ups.
