What's the Crazy Box Thing?

What in the heck is this crazy box?

This crazy box is a QR code, short for Quick Response code. When you scan this code with your smart phone, it will take you to a place on the internet! You can think of it as a link from a piece of paper to your website, Facebook page, blog, even to a single video about a product!

How does it work?

You will need to download a QR reader to your smart phone or device. I like QRReader. The two-dimensional code is made up of black squares on a white background, these carry data that, when scanned, will take you to the website that is set in the code.

What's the point?
There are two ways to look at QR codes.

• As the consumer, you simply scan the code to get more information about something that interests you!
• For the business owner, you want to give your customers, or potential customers the information they want. They take action by scanning a code, and they are instantly connected to your business!

Here are a few ideas to use QR Codes in your life!

• Scan the link to go to more information about a product! You can research the product and make an informed decision, or discuss with your spouse.
• Post a QR code on the front door of your business, that links to your store hours or contact information!
• Put a QR code on your billing statements that directs customers to their account to make online payments immediately!
  
• Put the code on your flyers- the link can take you directly to you contact information!
• If you want to share event list with your customers, set the code to your list of events so that they are getting the most up-to-date list of classes!
• The list goes on and on.
  

If you have a business, I would love to talk with you about how you can use QR codes to increase your business!
