Integrating QR Codes into print media

QR codes are a brilliant addition to print media. They are a great way to drive offline customers to your website, or to give them information they can read, or store in their phones. Here are some immediate business uses:

  • Event invitations
  • Handouts or signage at tradeshows and conferences
  • Annual reports or newsletters
  • Mailers and direct marketing materials
  • Letterhead, envelopes, business cards
  • Product packaging and labels
  • Promotional items such as notepads, stickers and buttons
  • Business forms

Print it, and they will come

From the consumer’s standpoint, all one needs to do is scan any QR code they encounter using a smartphone. Ideally, they will immediately be led to a custom mobile site with the originating company’s branding containing links to key information and sites. A QR code can be scanned with iPhone app or any standard QR code reader app for iPhone, Android, Palm, or BlackBerry, among others.

Effective and easy to do
