Where it works

Coffee-shop and bookstore community boards with QR codes for local-interest newsletters
What works in practice
Newsletter QR Code Best Practices
Link to a landing page, not just the publication root, when you want a focused subscribe pitch — Substack's /about pages convert better than feed pages.
Newsletter signup pages with too much copy hurt mobile conversion. The mobile flow from QR scan should be email field + subscribe button, max.
If using Beehiiv or ConvertKit, set up a referral source for the QR specifically so you can measure print-driven signups.
Avoid linking directly to a paid tier — newsletter QRs work best as a free-tier funnel. The paid pitch comes after they're on the list.
Test the form on mobile before printing. Some self-hosted Ghost setups have signup forms that break on slow connections.
