How to create a feedback form with dynamic QR Codes?

When you’re using Google Forms for feedback form QR Codes, there can be instances where you need to change the form or edit it. 

To do this with static QR Codes, you’ll need to start from scratch. This means modifying the form and printing the QR Code again. A time-consuming and laborious process indeed!

Thankfully, this changes with dynamic QR Codes. 

With dynamic QR Codes, you can eliminate manual efforts and save plenty of time with the opportunity to edit QR Codes at will and a host of other flexibility options. 

Here are some of the essential advantages that dynamic QR Codes offer when it comes to feedback forms: 

1. Tracking

What if you could access a host of essential customer data along with collecting customer feedback? 

When you switch to a dynamic QR Code, you can access QR Code tracking. Since dynamic QR Codes let you track your feedback form QR Codes, you can unearth various data points from it, such as: 

1. The number of scans
2. The time of the scans
3. The device used to scan
4. The demographic details of the scanners

2. Retargeting

If your customers didn’t offer feedback in the first instance, you can reach out to them again. 

Dynamic QR Codes offer retargeting options through Facebook and Google Ads. This means you have another chance to share your feedback form with your customers.

This improves the completion rates of your forms. 

3. Shareability and accessibility

You can create a Google Forms QR Code for various types of feedback forms, neatly tying your digital and physical assets. 

From Yelp reviews to customer service feedback forms to social media recommendations, your customers can access your feedback form with just a scan. 

Hence, not only sharing but accessing feedback form QR Codes also becomes a whole lot easier. 

4. Security and compliance

Since feedback forms deal with a lot of customer data, it’s imperative that they are secure and compliant. 

Beaconstac’s QR Code generator, for example, is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and GDPR compliant. 

This ensures there are no phishing URLs, data breaches, or scanning scams. Highlighting these on your feedback QR Code forms builds customer trust.  

5. Customization 

Using dynamic QR Codes for feedback forms lets you integrate your branding into the assets. This lends a lot of credibility to the forms and also helps them stand out from the crowd. 

You can experiment with the template, pattern, colors, etc., and even add a logo to your Google Forms QR Code. 

A branded QR Code has a better chance of performing than monochrome QR Codes.

An alternative is requesting their feedback right after their purchase or during their payment stage. Feedback QR Codes help achieve this easily. 

The swiftness of feedback form QR Codes can ensure that customers won’t feel this to be a burdensome task. Rather, this can be a good opportunity for them to share feedback while waiting in queue. 

You can experiment with different kinds of reviews, such as Yelp reviews, Google reviews, Facebook reviews, etc.
