QR Codes for Customers
Introducing the QR Code
QR Codes are increasingly being found on products and in advertisements, but many people are still unaware of what the black modules on a white background in a square box stand for.
QR Codes are a kind of two-dimensional matrix barcode that need special QR barcode readers, though the latest camera phones are now also able to decode them. Although created some time ago, it is only very recently that QR Codes have started being more commonly used and are likely to become even more popular in future. This is because these codes offer more advantages than linear barcodes and their capacity to store more data makes them more sought after.
Get started and make the most of a QR Code
Firstly you need a proper QR Code processing app to read QR Codes. Next just point your mobile browser to: m.mobiletag.com – it is fairly straightforward, only takes a second and is free.
There are lots of these apps available so feel free to look around for alternatives online that may be more compatible with the make and model of your mobile phone.
After that it is simply a matter of entering the QR reader onto your phone, take a picture of the QR Code and it will automatically take you to the destination of that code.
Once you have the information it is possible to save this into your phone’s contact list, eliminating the need for manual input; it is simple and time saving.
As a customer, what can QR Codes do for me?
- Access major companies’ advertising and current offers.
- QR Codes simplify the customer experience by making it possible to “scan” instead of “type” to access your information onto a mobile device
- With the snap of a camera phone – or one equipped with a QR Code scanner – customers can scan a business QR Code and INSTANTLY connect to various forms of digital media or retrieve desired information. A QR Code can access a website, directions to an establishment, a coupon, a video, a menu, a picture, a Facebook page, Twitter page, special offers – the possibilities are endless!
