The moment a customer opens your package is the peak of excitement — they have been anticipating this delivery and the unboxing experience is inherently positive. A QR code on the packaging or a printed insert card that links directly to your review form captures feedback at this emotional high point.
Physical QR codes have higher engagement rates than email review requests for impulse purchases and gift items. The email might arrive days later when the excitement has faded, but the QR code is right there in the box when emotions are highest. For subscription boxes, include a QR code in every shipment.
Design the insert card to be simple and direct: "Love it? Scan to leave a review" with a large QR code and a small incentive mention if applicable. Avoid cluttering the card with other calls to action. One purpose, one QR code, one action. Test different card sizes and placements within the packaging.
Track QR code review submissions separately from email-driven reviews using UTM parameters or unique URLs. This lets you measure the effectiveness of physical vs digital review collection and allocate your efforts accordingly.

- Add a review QR code to packaging inserts or the box itself
