What is a QR Code?

QR Codes are easy and quick to use. Customers and prospects simply point and scan and instantly have your message on their camera phones or smartphones. This means they no longer have to write or type a lengthy URL into their phone browser, significantly shortening the path to your message. Quickly and easily combine the traditional medium of printed materials with high-tech, 2D matrix bar code technology to launch your customizable web content to any web-enabled phone.

OTHER BENEFITS:

  • QR Codes are free and no licensing is required
  • QR Codes are flexible, and stored content can be personal or universal
  • QR Codes provide an immediate connection to your customer or prospect
  • Results are measurable to a high degree of detail

The marketing possibilities of QR Codes are limitless. Your customers and prospects increasingly are using their mobile phones in every phase of their lives. Examples of marketing applications include:
