QR codes are becoming an incredibly effective marketing tool for bloggers. They boost conversions, traffic, and engagement which means you have a consistently warm audience.

Another added benefit is simplifying the customer journey. In other words, fewer hoops for your consumers to jump through.

In this week's blog post, we'll show you how to use QR codes in your digital products to create a clear and direct customer journey through every stage of your funnel.

🎨 CANVA DESIGN TIP

Have you ever tried to use the perfect photo on a Pinterest pin or blog graphic but couldn't quite make it work because of its size?

That's now possible (depending on the photo) with Canva's Magic Expand. Thanks to AI, we can magically expand both horizontal and vertical photos to go beyond the border.

It's a great way to use those awkwardly sized images you could never find much use for.

Remember, it only works on some photo types, but it's worth a look!

Check out last week's DIY Design Lab on Canva's Magic Expand to learn more.

Having a cohesive look is an essential part of your blog's unique brand identity. It's vital for recognizability and builds trust with your readers.
