[...] QR (Quick Response) Code marketing involves the application of a bar code to print media (it can be fliers, magazine ads, or signage) which can be scanned by your mobile device and link the reader directly to your website for more advanced interaction. Bluetooth Proximity Marketing sends an advertising message to your mobile device when you are near the relevant location; say you are at a particular transit station or maybe new homes site. [...]

Jennifer, I don’t see why not… it’s a public generator.

Louis,
Thank you for your response.
So if I have a small business and wanted to use QR codes on my marketing pieces, like a newspaper ad, would it still be free to use those QR code generators?
Thanks very much for your help!

Hi Jennifer, QR codes last forever and each one is unique. Use this link to create your own: http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ Usually this code will refer you to a website, send a text or make a phone call… I’m pretty sure you can have it give any piece of information.

How long does a QR code last? Is each one unique?
How do companies make QR codes unique to them? And is there rules or charges to use it for marketing purposes?
If we are a small company, how could we use it?

Great post.

Theres a company I found this app on my iPhone that processes payments using these QRcodes. It’s called Mobio. Have you ever heard of it?

So the big question around here is whether QR codes should be accompanied by a modicum of copy–instructions for those with scanners, a URL for those without, or a hint of the enticing whiz-bang people can expect by scanning.

I say yes. It seems to me that, as they become more ubiquitous, QR codes are merely a convenience to take people to a site without all that typing or is a quick way to induce loyalty by offering great discounts.

But the ubercool designers say no.

Admittedly, I’m uncool enough to suppose the QR stands for Quiet Riot. So … is the intrigue of a lone QR code enough to entice a scan? How much longer will they induce curiosity?

Why aren’t I ubercool?

Nice post,

Whilst we’re more in to the technology of barcoding, it’s always nice to show our customers what the marketeers are doing, especially with 2D barcodes.

I might re-blog this and link to some of your pictures if thats OK with you, will link back and credit you.
