How to Use QR Codes
What Is a QR Code?
A QR code is a Quick Response code. It is a 2D barcode that when scanned by a smartphone, takes the user to a website or other information.
What type of information is available through a QR code? A QR code can link to a website, a video hosted on a website or text information.
Add a Quick Response (QR code) to your signs and graphics to let customers and prospects quickly learn more about your business, event or promotion, or to communicate detailed contact information. With a QR code, you provide additional information to the savvy, high-tech consumer when he or she is most interested.

Where to Use a QR Code
Consider using a QR code on signs and graphics to provide location information, a link to your website or promotional offer.
You can utilise QR codes on posters, vehicles, flyers, banners and other types of signs. As an example, use a QR code on a delivery van or company vehicle to provide a quick link to your company's website. This eliminates the need for the prospect to memorise or write down a phone number. Include a QR code on a real estate sign to link to a virtual tour, your website or to get a phone number.
Integrate QR codes into your SMS mobile marketing campaign to further personalise your messages to potential customers.
