What is a QR Code?

A QR Code is a matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by QR scanners, mobile phones with a camera, and smartphones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on white background.

The QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.

What can QR codes contain?

  • URLs
  • Text
  • Phone numbers
  • Complete contact information
  • SMS text messages
  • Calendar events
  • Geographic map location

QR codes for Marketing

QR codes for marketing are taking off as more and more consumers use them to initiate purchasing decisions.

Examples of how businesses are using QR codes today include linking potential customers to:

  • Company websites
  • Specific product pages
  • Bonus content
  • Unique campaign landing pages
  • Videos and product demonstrations
  • Printable offers and coupons
  • Contests or sweepstakes
  • Special offers sent via SMS text messages
  • Educational materials
  • Manuals, specification sheets
  • Warrantee registration pages
  • Sales reps, both by phone and by BlackBerry Messenger
  • Driving directions
  • Testimonials

QR codes = Measurable print

An intriguing possibility is that QR codes may help revitalize printing. As online advertising has gobbled up more and more ad spending because of its low cost, reach, and measurability, print advertising has languished.

But what happens when a print ad includes a traceable QR code linking the reader to a web page?

Not only can you test different print ads with traceable QR codes, you can also quickly change the destination web page with, say, new offers.

Print suddenly becomes more dynamic, interactive and measurable!
