How to Get Lots of People to Scan your WeChat QR Code

We know that in WeChat, your QR is your first point of contact. Whether it is your personal account, Official Account, Groupchat, Mei Pian or Mini Program, you need people to contact you (or read your article or site) by scanning your QR code.  

Other than face-to-face scanning, there are many other ways that you can get people to scan your QR code. Of course, you must make your QR code available easily and better still, give people a good reason to scan your QR code.  The following are the top 10 ways to get plenty of people to scan your QR code:

1. Publish QR code on your sites and social media
At the very minimum, your QR code should be at the footer that shows up on every page of your site

2. Add WeChat QR to your company newsletters and email communications. Remind them that they will get some benefits when they scan your QR code

3. QR code on your product or service packaging
Uniqlo, the Japanese retailer, displays its Official Account QR code at all its price tags on its clothing products.  They know that the first thing a person looks at when they pick up a clothing is the price tag.  Putting the QR code on the price tag also encourages the consumer to keep the price tag for scanning later

4. Run WeChat marketing campaigns in print
Traditional newspapers and magazines can be another great venue to place QR codes.  They can also be combined with offers and discounts – an efficient way to entice people to scan it and become your brand’s follower

5. Include your QR code in your business cards. I am the only trainer, possibly in the entire world, to put my QR code so big in my business card

6. Print your QR code at all your company's invoices, quotations, delivery orders and purchase orders

7. Billboards, backdrops, pull-up banners, signages and posters should also include your QR code

8. Events, Tradeshows, Conferences and Networking events are good places for you to get people to scan your QR code.  Be bold to display your QR code at signages, standees and desktop of such places

9. Print your QR code on small pieces of paper and distribute them at events.  Places and events with many people include seminars, lobbies, stadiums, shopping centres, concerts, parks, gardens, train stations and airports.  Of course, you must give a good reason for people to scan your QR code, like free gifts or discount vouchers

10. Simply give out free gifts to people with condition that they must scan your QR code. This must be the most powerful way to get thousands of people to scan your QR code. 

What other methods do you have to get people to scan your QR code?  Let me know in the comments, thanks.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
