What’s a QR barcode?

Your customers are going mobile and you are going to need avenues for reaching them wherever they may be.

A QR (Quick Response) code is one of many mobile tags used by savvy marketers to reach consumers and prospects who are increasingly becoming more mobile. These unique bar codes are response mechanisms that let you easily jump from printed materials to the Web using your mobile Smartphone.

The QR code enables customers — and potential customers — to instantly learn more about a business by visiting a mobile version of the business on any supported Smartphone (currently over 20% of all mobile phones).

QR codes are two-dimensional “barcodes” that can transmit the viewer to a Web URL where they may be presented with a video, audio or special offer. The opportunities are endless. QR codes can be printed onto just about anything – business cards, brochures, advertisements, signs, buses even on the side of a building. A Smartphone equipped with a 2-D barcode reader (app) and Internet accesses are required to experience the advantages of mobile tagging.

Many new Smartphones come now with pre-installed QR reader applications. There are many applications available for download on Smartphone, like i-nigma; NeoReader and Scanlife.
