Put your whole product range in every pocket

You sell things people want to look at — but the catalogue is a heavy PDF, a printed booklet that is always out of date or a website nobody can find. Customers can’t quickly see what you offer, so they walk away without buying.

The problem

Showing products in person only goes so far. A shelf, a table or a van window can hold a limited number of items, and you can’t explain each one to every person who passes by. Customers want to browse at their own pace.

Printed catalogues are expensive and go stale the moment a price or product changes. PDFs are awkward on a phone: slow to download, tiny to read and easy to lose. Sending people to a full website means they have to type an address or search for you.

The result is a gap between “I’m curious” and “I can see what you sell.” Every step in that gap loses a few people.

There is also the matter of timing. Many people notice a product when they are busy, passing a stall or flipping through a pile of cards, and they want to look properly later. A code lets them capture your catalogue in a second and come back to it when they have time.

For you, that means less explaining. Instead of repeating the same details to every curious visitor, you let the page do the first pass and save your conversations for people who are genuinely interested.

How a Product Catalogue QR code solves it

A Product Catalogue QR code opens a mobile page that shows your products. It holds up to 5 items on every plan that includes it. From the customer’s side:

1. They scan the code with their phone camera. Nothing to install.
2. Your catalogue page opens straight in the browser.
3. They browse your items, reading the details you have written for each one.
4. They decide and then ask you, visit you or order from you.

Because it is a dynamic code, you can update the items later without reprinting the code. Each scan is also recorded with the date, time, approximate location and device type.

Keep in mind that a catalogue page is a showcase. It helps people see and understand what you offer; the sale itself still happens the way you normally do business, whether that is in person, by phone or on your own site.

Who it’s for

• Craft and market vendors. Put the code on your table sign so shoppers can see your range and details after they walk away.
• Small shops. Use it on a window decal so people can browse featured items outside opening hours.
• Bakers and caterers. Show a handful of signature items on a card handed out at events.
• Makers and artists. Add it to business cards and packaging to showcase your latest pieces.
• Wholesalers and sales reps. Give buyers a quick look at key products without carrying samples.
• Home businesses. Share a code on a flyer or fridge magnet so neighbors can see what you offer.

Tips for better results

• Lead with your best sellers. With 5 slots, pick the items that best represent your business.
• Write short, clear descriptions. People are reading on a small screen, often standing up.
• Tell people what to expect. “Scan to see our products” is simple and works.
• Update when things change. Edit the page to match your current range instead of reprinting.
• Print it large enough for the distance it will be scanned from. See the QR code size guide.
• Combine with a way to reach you. Include contact details so interested people know the next step.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Expecting more than 5 items. The catalogue page holds up to 5 items. If your range is bigger, highlight your top items and link people to your website or Bio Links page for the rest.
• Vague descriptions. “Great product” says nothing. Say what it is and who it’s for.
• No call to action. A bare code doesn’t tell people why to scan.
• Not testing. Always scan and read through the page before printing.
• Low contrast or tiny print. Keep the code dark on a light background and large enough to scan easily.
