QR CODES. What are they? Why are they so beneficial

?

In South Africa mobile marketing is becoming one of the most powerful new marketing strategies as more and more people start carrying around web and camera capable smart phones.

This opens up a massive new opportunity to market your business, and Quick Response (QR) codes are one of the best ways to get started. QR codes provide an easy way for users to share information between stationary media and their mobile device without any hassle.

You may have noticed these black & white new square box images on magazines, websites or posters. Similar to barcodes, they contain information that you can easily gain access to, such as a URL, a body of text, or phone number.

When you scan this code with your smart phone, you receive the information that is programmed within the QR code. If you want your website to show up, the user's phone will automatically launch their Internet browser and visit that website. You can do the same with a phone number and a call screen with the number you provided would be displayed and ready to use or save in your phonebook.

How to Use Mobile Phones with QR codes

First you must download a free QR code reader to your mobile device in order to scan the barcode. We have researched and use a reader that works on more than 400 different phones, including Apple, Blackberry, HTC, LG, Nokia, Samsung, Sony and many more mobile phone companies.
