QR Codes - The New Marketing Strategy

Online, August 3, 2011 (Newswire.com) - QR codes are quick response codes and are defined as non-invasive pull media. They can be further defined as a hypertext link that is print based. Currently the most important role of these codes is to help those with smart phones to get access to information from around the world. These codes really help consumers to connect with those who are providing products and services that interest them. This code has become extremely popular in the marketing world and those who have smart phones with the application of scanning bar codes can enjoy its benefits. Now what does a QR code do?

The function of these codes is very simple. For example, let's say you're walking down the street and you happen to see a QR Code on a banner, poster, etc for a new movie coming out. It says to scan the QR code now to buy tickets. Now, if you have a smart phone that can scan QR codes then all you have to do is scan the barcode on the poster with your phone and your cell phone will immediately take you to the theatre's website. You can then instantly buy your tickets.

QR codes are a step forward in the marketing world. This code saves the consumer a lot of time and effort and browsing through the needed website becomes easier. You are not going to have a laptop and internet with you all the time. If you have a smart phone with this function then you can access information anytime anywhere in the easiest way possible. This code works as a hyperlink that can be scanned rather than typing the website address.

How are you going to make use of the technology of QR codes? This is very simple and there are two essential components for using this code. First, you need to create a code for your product or service that you want to market. Then comes the reading and scanning of the code you have created for your product or service. To create a code you can use many of the available on line resources. Many websites online can generate these codes automatically. All you need to do is go to a website, create, and fill the information where you want your code to point.

After this, the only thing that remains is the audience reading your QR codes. As of now, this new marketing trait is only catching up and not everyone is aware of it. In addition, another drawback is that not all phones have this application. It is usually not possible for basic phones to have the function of scanning bar codes. Primarily only smart phones and technologically advanced phones have this application. If the clients understand why and for what the code is, only then will they scan it. Make sure you add a tag saying "scan this" so that people understand.
