QR means Quick Response code.  Created in Japan and used for over a decade the QR code is similar to a store bar code which is scanned for pricing, inventory, etc., but the QR code is 2 dimensional.  It’s utilized by smartphones and other mobile phones-camera enabled.  Already estimates are 31% of smartphone users – take advantage of this – 14 million mobile users scanned a QR or bar code by June 2011.  That is 6.2% of all mobile users.   The object is to make it easy for consumers to get connected to you. 

The QR code is scanned by a phone for a brand (your business).  This can be in your print ad, business card, a poster in your store window, etc.  The code is used to link scanners to digital content.  If you sell product packaging use your QR code to send consumers to more product information.  Connect the QR code to your website, your Facebook page or your contact information.

The code is free.  Google QR code generator and you’ll find multiple choices.   Most QR codes are set to link to a webpage, but you can configure to your phone number or text.
