Top Priorities for Marketing Departments

Investing in mobile applications is the top priority for marketing departments at this time. Shortly behind that on the priority list are:
♦ QR codes
♦ Mobile commerce and
♦ Mobile advertising.

Most Effective Advertising

One of the most effective advertising methods to come on the scene lately is the use of QR (quick response) codes.

♦ 202 million smartphones were sold worldwide in 2010.
♦ Free QR code reading apps are readily available.
♦ People do not like waiting for information when they do not have to.
♦ The world's best QR code costs a low $50.
Think about the four points above and you see why QR codes are producing some incredibly inexpensive and effective advertising. The QR code in this Ralph Lauren ad will take the user to an online catalogue.

People scan the QR code with their smartphones. In a few seconds the code owner's hot buttons will appear on the screen similar to the picture below.

By pressing the yellow map button, the user gets a Google map to the code owner's place of business. When they press the email button, they find a partially-filled-out email. They can add their comments and then send it. By pressing the magenta specials button, they can find a daily specials menu for a restaurant.

How to Get a QR Code

Go to the QR.GetLinked website, fill in the online form, click Submit and follow the instructions. It is possible to change the hot button input as many times as you like. So, do not be concerned that things are not perfect yet.

What you will get back is a QR code that will work as small as a fingernail (10 mm x 10 mm) like the one you see on the business card here. At the same time, it will work if it is as large as a billboard.

Start Advertising

Ask a printer to print the QR code wherever the public would use it to find out more about your business. You will be ready to embark upon some of the most effective yet least expensive advertising ever.

       How to Get Started Using QR Codes

♦ Either buy a QR code or get a free trial QR code
♦ Upload a free QR code scanner into your smartphone
♦ If you wish to have special and special deal hot buttons on your landing page, ask your website developer to make the corresponding web pages. If you do not have a website developer, go to weebly.com and create some free web pages. Alternately, you can go to our web store and pay someone else $35 to have the two pages created and hosted for you.
