A majority of direct mail pieces today refer recipients to websites to learn more. While this is often effective, it relies on the recipient to correctly type in a web address. Mail pieces that include a QR code require much less effort; recipients can simply grab their smartphone, scan the barcode, and be routed to the website right away.
