- tikkabhuna 2y agoI don't believe they were using QR codes at all. They just printed the wrong URL, which they still could have done when using a URL shortener. And if you were going to use a URL shortener, you want to use one that you either have a vendor relationship with or you own the domain. Otherwise the shortened URL could change to something and you'll have no control.
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoWhat if the packaging is designed before the website is live and the URL shortener link is something random off the internet? There's a lot of things that can go wrong still. I did see for a while that instead of a website, adverts would show a search bar and the search term to use. Since that's how a lot of people interact with the internet, filling in e.g. "wicked.com" into google instead of the URL bar. Which is also why Google just combined the two in Chrome. edit for completeness: do not go to wicked.com, it's a porn site.
