Default QR Codes & QR Code Marketing

I'm interested to find out how many of you are familiar with QR codes.

When you see a QR code, do you know how to read it?

Do many of you have smartphones?

I'm not sure if I am allowed to include a link to our site here, but if any of you wish to find out more, we have a new article all about this very subject on our site.

I know a little about QR codes, I have one on my Blackberry and you can use it to add other blackberry users but to be honest, I find it a right pain to use so just manually add them.

I know they have become very popular for big marketing campaigns and are been used allot more to interact with users and mobile phones.

There are plenty of articles like this, to show you that there is no limit to the ways in which QR codes can boost your marketing.

Do you use any promotional printed flyers, etc? You must have business cards, at least.

once you see one of these around you'll notice them everywhere
we're using them loads now
you often see them on posters and in the newspaper especially the metro

theres even some school of thought that Google will be able to crawl and index the content from these in the future too! so get on them!

i have mine on my blog sidebar
