Where to place the code

Entrance sign: service times and map
Noticeboard: event poster and contact form
Bulletin inserts: donation or sign-up link
Community hall: WiFi page and events
Email newsletters: latest service link

Recommended QR types

A static QR code is ideal for a stable service page or contact page. Use a dynamic QR code when you want to swap posters seasonally or track which events generate the most interest.

Common mistakes and practical checks

Avoid placing codes too low on signs where children or people in wheelchairs may not see them
Do not link to a general homepage when a detailed event page exists
Test the code in daylight and at night if the sign is illuminated
Keep the label simple such as “Scan for service times”
