Last week I posted an introduction to QR codes inspired by a whitepaper from GetResponse. Today, I thought we might consider the when, where, why and how of applying QR codes.
A camera equipped smartphone which has the right reading software installed can scan these codes in an instant and then do such things as:
- Load a webpage
- Contact info
- Send an SMS
- Provide Geo location
- Register for a contest
- Sign up for your newsletter
- Follow a link to a web page
- Play a YouTube video
- Like a fan page on Facebook
- Add a calendar event
- Wifi network login
