Romantic QR Code vs Traditional Card: Which Works Better?
Does a QR code seem cold? The data says otherwise.
Research shows that personalized, interactive gifts generate up to 3x more emotional impact than generic ones — including store-bought cards. The question isn't "digital vs. physical." It's about what truly touches the person you love.
