If you don’t recognise a QR Code at the moment you certainly will before long. Smart Phones & QR Codes Will Revolutionise Marketing. When the code is scanned with a Smart Phone it takes the user to the Mobile Website hidden within the code. Once you have had your Code made, it can be printed out into newspaper ads, flyers, Letter Heads, Business Cards…well I’m sure you get the idea of how critical QR Codes will become in promoting your Business.
QR is short for Quick Response (because they can be read quickly by a smart phone). They are used to transfer information from within the code and put it in to your smart phone. These codes can carry up to several hundred times more data than that carried by an ordinary bar code. Implanted within the code is a Mobile Website URL (Mobile Website Address).
QR Codes will soon become common place, displayed in:
- Magazine Adverts
- On A Billboard
- A Web Page
- On A t-shirt
- Newspaper Ads
- Business Letterheads
- Business Cards
- Store Windows
- Instore Point of Sale Material
- Van Decals and more
…Well, I’m sure you get the idea of how critical these Codes will become in promoting your Business and this is just scratching the surface. As your potential customers scan QR Codes with their Smart Phones they will see a message hidden within the code or taken to a Mobile Website.
The hidden Code will show whatever message is programmed into it such as:
- Product details
- Contact details
- Offer details
- Event details
- Competition details
- A Discount Coupon
- Your Twitter Page
- Your Facebook Page
- Your eBay Store
- Your Amazon Store
- Your YouTube Video
As you can see just about anything you want can be embedded within a QR Code.
If you don’t have a Mobile Website it is now imperative to your business to have one built without delay. Considering the facts above and that Google CEO announced that from now on Google will develop for the Mobile Market first then the PC market. Add to that the fact that 65% of people access the internet via Mobile Phones, making it clear that if you don’t have a Mobile Website you are missing out on 65% of your potential customers and that figure will grow year on year. Couple that information with the enormous potential of QR Codes and the amazing number of sales of Smart Phones, I can only urge you to have a Mobile Website built along with at least one QR Code.
The future is here grab it with both hands before your competitors do.
