What is a QR code? A Qr code which stands for Quick Response is a code that stores information, details and URLs and can appear in magazines, on signs, buses, business cards, or on just about any object about which users might need information.
See this bar-code looking image above, that is what a QR code looks like.
If you have a mobile phone with a QR reader app installed and when activated you can focus the camera on the QR code and it will take you to a special web page that has been assigned to that QR code.
Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct reader application can scan the image of the QR Code to display text, contact information, connect to a wireless network, or anything it has been linked to and open a web page in the phone's browser. This act of linking from a physical object is known as a hard link or physical hyperlink.
The idea behind using it is so that mobile users don’t have to type in a long URL to get to your site or any page you want to send them to.
Some basic ideas for QR codes are to put it on your fliers, business cards, brochures, product tags, packaging, point-of-sale receipts, T-shirts or any printable material. They can even be put on the sides of trucks and trailers.
You could have them linked to mobile websites, PC websites, sources for service, installation instructions, valuable coupons and special offers, free mp3 downloads, PDF reports or customer feedback forms, the possibilities are endless. Use them any where you want people to gather more information about yourself or your business simply by scanning the QR code.
QR codes can be read from any angle, while barcodes must be aligned properly to function.
Google has been using QR codes to promote local businesses (and itself) with the Google Places business directory, which includes reviews, contact info, and, if the business so wishes, coupons.
Today, more than ever, we have become increasingly reliant on our mobile devices, and typing out URLs or other data on their tiny keyboards is still not very efficient.
These QR code squares of elaborately arranged boxes are a shortcut around that problem and can easily be integrated with various services while at the same time incorporate geo-location data. Advertisers may not have figured it out just yet, but QR codes are their best friends.
