Boost door hangers with QR Codes to get more responses
Door hangers go high tech during the pandemic with QR Codes and chatbots to get more responses, conduct surveys and engage more people.
How can canvassers make the most of house visits when no one answers the door? How can canvassing quickly build opt-in contact lists? How can grassroots campaigns with few funds canvass and easily conduct community surveys? Three trends during the pandemic have transformed printed door hangers into a better solution for canvassing, conducting surveys and building opt-in lists.
- People are used to getting information and taking action by scanning QR Codes
- More phones have built in QR Code readers
- Chatbot technology has improved and become more affordable
Canvassers leave door hangers which include a QR Code that residents can read or scan the QR Code to learn more, get incentives for responding and opt-in for updates. A text message is sent automatically when the QR Code is scanned. A chatbots replies, asks questions and saves the responses in a database. Even grassroots groups can afford the solution which cost about $2 per day to make door hangers more effective.
