Small Business QR Code Sticker with Cricut Print and Cut


In an effort to improve our shops for holiday sales I am showing you how to make a QR code sticker with Cricut Print and Cut. I will explain all the ways you can use QR codes for your business, how to generate a QR code and how to create a custom QR code sticker for your small business.

I first started using QR codes for my small business when I was selling vinyl labels. I needed a way to share the application instructions with the customer so I used a QR code that sent them to a video tutorial. I used to be nervous that some of my customers wouldn’t understand how to use QR codes, but after the pandemic many people became familiar with them since it was a way to share things digitally.

10 Ways to Use a QR code for your Small Business

As I was preparing to write this tutorial my husband and I were brainstorming all the different ways you can use QR codes for your small business. Creating a QR code to make QR code stickers is an amazing small business tool. The possibilities are nearly endless in the digital world we are living in.

  1. Direct customer to a social media page
  2. Direct customer to a landing page to sign up for your email list
  3. Share a coupon code (on ETSY you can setup a sale and share via a URL – great way to try to get a repeat sale)
  4. Ask the customer for their feedback
  5. Direct to an instructional video or video of you creating product
  6. Direct to a customer survey
  7. Direct to a specific blog post, website or social media post
  8. Share an image

How to Create Custom QR codes

You can go to Google and type in QR code generator to find many sites that will help you create a custom QR code. I personally use Flowcode to generate free QR codes. They easily walk you through how to create your code and you can add some personalization.

Below is a screenshot of the Flowcode site. You can have your QR code direct the customer to many different destinations from a website to a YouTube video. In order to download the .PNG you will have to create an account, but then you can go back login and see the analytics on your QR code. It shows how many people scan your QR code and when they scanned it.
