How to Download an App With a QR Code: Boost Instant App Downloads

Need an extra boost in your app downloads? One proven strategy is to incorporate QR Codes into your mobile app marketing. Create attractive QR Codes that automatically redirect your audience to their phone’s app store to download your app, whether that phone runs on Android or iOS. 

You’ll also only need to generate one QR Code, from which you can link all the app stores that house your app. 

How to create an app store QR Code

Let’s brush up on the basics. You can embed an app download prompt into a QR Code. The QR Code will take interested users directly to the relevant app store, depending on their mobile OS. 

It’s up to you to create the codes, which is really easy to do.

1. Go to the dashboard and click on the ‘QR Codes’ section on the left panel.
2. Click ‘Create QR Code.’
3. Select ‘App Download.’
4. Place the app links for the respective app stores.
5. Customize your QR Code’s look.
6. Test, generate, and download! 

Why do QR Codes improve your mobile app marketing?

The answer is simple. Your target audience isn’t always in front of a computer screen or browsing a social media feed on their phone. A good part of your audience is out there, in the real world.

Now, you’re probably aware of this, so you’ve turned to print marketing to catch their attention. While your audience might see your posters, grab your flyers, or catch a glimpse of your billboards, you just can’t guarantee they’ll remember everything about your app.

And if a user is really interested and wants to download your app then and there, they’ll have to search for it in the app stores. 

Make it easy for your audience to download

You’d like to make it as easy as possible for users to download your app while they’re on the go. Eliminate any time-consuming process by placing an app QR Code on your prints. Your audience doesn’t have to remember the name of your app; all they need to do is grab a quick scan and download. No intrusions or distractions.

How do I scan a QR code and install an app?

Almost all of the latest smartphones come with a built-in QR Code scanner. Just open your phone’s camera and point it directly at the code to begin scanning. Scanning a QR Code takes only a couple of seconds. 

You’ll immediately get a prompt, and tapping on it brings you directly to the app’s product page on your native app store. If you’re using a phone that doesn’t have a built-in scanner, you can download a third-party scanner app. There are bound to be plenty on your local app store.
