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.
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.
