How It WorksFrom design to lead,
From design to lead,
in four moves.
QR code tracking on direct mail used to mean an extra vendor, a spreadsheet, and a print-shop email chain. SendMailr collapses it into a toggle in the design editor.
Turn QR on for your design.
In the design editor, toggle QR on for the piece and place it on the front, back, or both. Generation, positioning, and tracking are handled automatically.
We mail the piece.
Every recipient gets a unique QR code tied to that mailing and address. QR is included on every plan at the same per-piece price, with no add-on charge.
A recipient scans the code.
The scan lands them on your website with auto-applied UTM parameters so your analytics know the visit came from direct mail.
You see who responded.
Your dashboard shows scan counts per campaign and per piece. Each scan auto-creates a tracked lead with the recipient’s name, address, and source mailing, ready for follow-up.
What’s Different About SendMailr QRReal attribution.
Real attribution.
Built in, not bolted on.
Most print vendors will print a QR if you bring one. SendMailr owns the whole loop: the unique code, the redirect, the scan log, and the lead record. The answer to “did this mail work?” is in your dashboard, not in a guess.
Unique QR per piece
Every mailing carries its own code, not a shared campaign QR. The scan tells you the address, not just the campaign.
No setup, no separate vendor
Generation, position, redirect, UTM tagging, and lead creation are built in. Turn QR on with one toggle in the design editor.
Per-address attribution
The dashboard shows which address scanned, which mailing it came from, and the scan time. No more guessing which postcard worked.
Auto-created leads
Every scan creates a lead record with the recipient’s name, address, and source mailing, ready for follow-up in your dashboard.
Works on letters and postcards
Same toggle on every piece type. Place the QR on a postcard front or back, or inside the body of a letter. Your design, your call.
Who Uses QR Direct MailSame QR. Different role
Same QR. Different role
for every business.
QR-tracked mail works wherever the unit economics already work for direct mail: a high-value customer, a defined service area, and a local-trust purchase. Four of the most common shapes:
Mail before renewal. Know who quoted.
Drop a quote postcard 30-60 days before homeowner renewals. QR scans turn into named leads with address and source campaign, ready to call.
Insurance mailersFlyer the driveway. Track the booking.
Mail roofing, HVAC, solar, or remodeling flyers in your service radius and use QR to route scans straight to your booking page.
Home services mailersHit the neighborhood. Track redemptions.
QR-coded offer cards for restaurants, retail, gyms, and salons turn neighbors into trackable customers, not anonymous walk-ins.
Small business mailFrequently Asked Questions
QR direct mail, answered honestly.
The questions most people ask before turning QR on for the first time: how the attribution actually works, what gets tracked, where leads land, and what happens after the mail goes out.
Can you put a QR code on direct mail?
Yes. SendMailr lets you add a unique QR code to any postcard or letter with a single toggle in the design editor. The QR is generated automatically at print time and tracked per piece, so each scan tells you which address responded.
How does direct mail with QR code tracking work?
Direct mail with QR code tracking puts a unique QR on each mail piece. When the recipient scans it, they are redirected to your website with auto-applied UTM parameters, and the scan is logged against the source mailing and the recipient address. The scan also auto-creates a tracked lead in your dashboard with the recipient’s name, address, and source campaign.
Is the QR code optional?
Yes, QR is opt-in per design. Toggle it on for pieces where you want attribution; leave it off when you want a clean design without it. The per-piece price is the same either way. QR tracking is included on every plan, with no add-on fee.
Where does the QR code link to?
By default the QR links to your website URL as set in your account profile. You can override the destination per campaign or per piece. UTM parameters (source, medium, campaign) are appended automatically so your analytics know each visit came from direct mail.
Can I choose where the QR code appears on the piece?
Yes. The design editor lets you drag and place the QR code anywhere on a postcard front, postcard back, or inside the body of a letter. Minimum size is enforced so the printed code stays scannable on every phone.
How is the QR scan attributed back to a specific recipient?
Every mail piece is printed with its own unique QR code that points to a tracked redirect URL tied to that specific mailing and that specific recipient. When a scan comes in, the dashboard logs the scan against the campaign, the piece, and the recipient address. You get per-address attribution, not just campaign totals.
Do QR scans create leads automatically?
Yes. Every scan auto-creates a lead record in your dashboard with the name, mailing address, source mailing, and scan timestamp specific to the recipient. If the same recipient scans more than once, the scan count is incremented on the same lead instead of creating duplicates.
Can the QR code be changed after the mail is sent?
No. The destination URL is baked into each piece at production time and cannot be changed after the mail is printed. Set your destination carefully before approving the order. You can update your website URL or campaign destination for future sends at any time.
Does QR tracking work for shared advertising drops?
Yes. In a shared advertising drop, each participating business gets its own unique QR on the same mail piece, so scans route only to the right business. The dashboard separates own-scans from shared-partner scans for clear attribution.
Turn QR on. See your first scan.
QR tracking is included on every SendMailr plan. One toggle in the design editor, no add-on fee, and per-address attribution starting on your next send.
