Generate two (or more) dynamic QR codes — each leading to a different page on X or with a unique visual (color, CTA, etc.). -
Distribute in different environments.
For instance, one on packaging, another in social media. Or use both on posters, but with different messages. Keep other variables minimal. -
Measure performance.
Use built-in scan analytics and X’s platform insights — track scans, clicks, follows, and interactions. -
Analyze and scale.
Choose the better-performing version and scale it in your core campaign.
