Create Dynamic QR Codes With Google Tag Manager Retarget Tool Feature

Creating your dynamic QR codes with the Google Tag Manager retarget tool feature can enhance your remarketing strategies and close more sales.

Many marketers prove retargeting as one of the best ways to close sales or attract new customers.

This strategy is your second chance to convert, up-sell, or retain them with online ads or campaigns.

Now, even running a QR code campaign, you can easily retarget those scanners who have scanned or interacted with your QR code.

You can even retarget users by their specific actions taken on your site when they’re redirected to a particular landing page after scanning your QR code.

Using QR codes with Google Tag Manager, you’ll get these insights and be able to analyze your website analytics better.

Most importantly, you can derive data for more informed marketing decisions and improve your retargeting campaigns.

What is Google Tag Manager, and how does it work? 

To measure the effectiveness of your website and how they contribute to the overall goal of the business, companies use tools like Google Ads or Google Analytics.

You need to add tracking codes to these websites to track the analytics.

In the older days, you need a developer to add these tracking codes.

But with Google Tag Manager, you can add the tracking codes to your website by yourself.

Google Tag Manager helps you manage your tags or snippets of code related to your marketing campaign events.

This tag management system allows you to add tracking tags to your site to measure the audience, customize, retarget, or conduct search engine marketing initiatives.

GTM allows you to directly transfer data and events to Google Analytics, Enhanced Ecommerce, and other third-party analytics solutions to produce a clear picture of how well your site, products, and promotions perform.

In this blog, you’ll measure the QR code scans and use the Google Tag Manager retarget tool feature to tailor strategies for those who have interacted with your QR code and landing pages.
