Goes with your card
Email QR codes
An email address on a card is a thing to be copied by hand, usually wrongly. A code opens the message instead, and lets you decide what the subject line says.
Typed addresses arrive at the wrong inbox, or nowhere
One wrong character and the message bounces, or worse, silently reaches someone else. The sender assumes you are ignoring them, and you never learn that they wrote.
A message, already addressed
Scanning opens a new email to you in whatever mail app the phone uses. You can set the subject and even the opening body text, so what arrives is already labelled with the event, the product or the enquiry type.
What changes for your business
Not what it is. What is different once people are using it.
Enquiries arrive pre-sorted
A fixed subject line means you can filter, route or simply recognise enquiries from a particular card, event or poster without asking anyone to mention it.
Nothing is lost to a typo
The address is encoded once, correctly, by you. Nobody is transcribing it from a card in bad light.
The address can change
Move from a personal address to a team inbox and the same printed code starts delivering to the new one.
Where it sits on the card
For anyone whose work arrives by email rather than by phone, this belongs on the card beside the vCard code.
Questions people ask
Does it work with Gmail and Outlook?
Yes. It opens whichever mail app the phone has set as its default, which on most phones is one of those two.
Can I set the subject line?
Yes, and the opening body text as well. Both are editable by the sender before they send.
What if the phone has no mail app set up?
The phone will offer to set one up or copy the address. It is the same behaviour as tapping any email link on a web page.
