QR Codes and the iPhone 5

The iPhone 5 pre-orders sold out in about an hour. Promoters of products or services can capitalize upon this mobile phone release which boasts a faster wireless connectivity and a larger screen; both advances are great for those providing content. These factors can drive your sales. In today’s world, more people own cell phones than own computers and most people always have their cell phones nearby. With all this mobile connectivity, many consumers first visits to websites will be via cell phones and mobile devices. Image source

A basic QR code, such as this example shown, is a pixelated box containing embedded data that is activated by scanning with a smart phone or other mobile device. The scan launches the QR code message onto the phone through the use of a downloaded scanning app such as the Red Laser. The scanned information can offer limitless experiences such as scan incentives, videos, music, contests, scavenger hunts, and special offers of all kinds.

Take the best advantage of smart phone marketing trends by handing your message to the smart phone armed consumer. With Apple boasting over 2 million iPhone 5 sales, about 2 million consumers are probably giddy to use their new phones. They will use it to make phone calls, play games, watch videos, visit the internet, and download apps that improve their lives. Scan apps such as Red Laser will allow these smart phone consumers to scan information about products and their prices. By adding QR code to your marketing plan, you can drive more traffic to your business. What you really want, in order to entice scanning, for improved traffic, leads, and increased SEO is a custom QR code. The plain, generic QR code represents the timid first steps of QR codes where consumers scanned and had a plain, uninspiring experience often at an URL.

Encourage shoppers to scan your code with a well thought out QR code marketing campaign which is visually intriguing and offers rewards for scans. With the implementation of a colorful and/or artistically altered QR code, the customer is more interested in seeing what is inside the code. That, and they like their new iPhone 5’s and find it cool to whip it out and scan your stunning graphic QR code. Image Source

QR Codes

What’s up with the QR code thingies?

QR thingys, or quick response code, is a scannable code that gives your business a boost by sharing the embedded information . A QR code reader, or scanner as it is commonly called, can be downloaded from smart phone app stores. The QR scanner is pointed at the code and then the embedded information appears. Scanners are a great app to have on your phone as they allow barcodes and QR codes to be scanned providing information like merchandise prices at multiple locations for consumer products of all kinds.

Say you saw some great item at the store, scan it and get the price for the same item at venues all around town or as far away as you seek.

A QR code though, can be embedded with things like:

any contact information ❧ URL’s ❧ mobile web pages ❧ coupon offers
