Understanding SMS Text Message QR Codes
SMS marketing yields open rates exceeding 98%. An SMS QR code reduces the barrier to entry for mobile lead generation: rather than asking consumers to type a 5-digit shortcode and spell out a marketing keyword on their keyboard, scanning a QR code opens their messaging app with both the recipient number and keyword draft filled in automatically.
How to Generate in 4 Simple Steps
Enter your target telephone number or business SMS shortcode.
Type the pre-filled message text (e.g., "OPTIN", "INFO", or "RESERVE").
