Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I place QR code surveys in my retail store?
The most effective placements are at checkout counters, on product shelf tags, near fitting room mirrors, at store entrances, inside shopping bags, and at the customer service desk. Each location captures feedback at a different point in the shopping journey.
How many more responses do QR code surveys get compared to email surveys?
Retail QR code surveys typically generate 4x more responses than email follow-up surveys because they capture feedback while the shopping experience is still fresh in the customer's mind. There's no delay, no inbox competition, and no friction.
Do shoppers actually scan QR codes in stores?
Yes. Research shows 68% of shoppers are willing to scan a QR code to provide feedback when prompted at the right moment. The key is strategic placement with a clear call-to-action like "How was your visit? Scan to tell us."
Can I use different QR codes for different store departments?
Absolutely. PollQR lets you create unique QR codes for each department or product area, so you can track which sections receive the best and worst feedback independently. This helps you pinpoint exactly where improvements are needed.
How long does it take a shopper to complete a QR code survey?
The average QR code survey completion time is about 45 seconds. Shoppers scan the code, rate their experience, and optionally leave a comment - all without downloading an app or creating an account.
