An Introduction to QR Codes
What are those strange looking, square coded graphics that you increasingly see in magazines, in newspaper ads, in direct mail, on billboards, and on airport tickets? They are called Quick Response, or QR, Codes. They can serve as a gateway from your business' printed marketing materials to your online presense and can provide valuable information about you and your audience.
QR codes work by using an application downloaded to your smartphone, simply scan a QR code and your phone's web browser immediately pulls up a mobile weblanding page set up by the QR code creater.
QR codes are great for marketing your business and even yourself. Business cards with a photo and QR code have become popular for those wanting to share more than just contact information. Little cost is associated with using QR codes. QR code generaters are free, as are most smartphone applications needed to scan them. |
