3 Benefits of Using QR
Codes in Your Business
When blogging platforms, such as WordPress, came out webmasters and internet marketers said that blogging would never catch on. Innovative marketers started making products that would be used for developing the WordPress platform for building fast websites. These sites proved fast and newbie easy. WordPress actually broke conventional wisdom that dictated you must learn html to build a website!
I mention WordPress and blogging because QR codes seem to have gotten a slow start, however, after doing some Christmas shopping this year, I found QR codes all over the place. Its still going to take some time for the public to accept QR codes, but once they do you had better be ready if you own a local business of any kind. Imagine a pizza business using a QR Code for a 50% discount coupon with a secret code that can only be read in the QR Code….. think some poor kid or old man in my case won’t download a QR reader….. you bet they or I will!
Big companies today are using the power of QR Codes as part of their marketing strategy. Quick response codes (QR codes) were first utilized in Japan used in tracking down parts of their automobile during manufacturing. Today, the QR codes are gaining popularity all over the world.
QR codes are patterned codes in arranged in squares generally with a white background. QR codes are embedded with data and information that can be immediately exposed with just one click of a mobile phone. Businesses can use QR codes to promote coupons, special offers, and discounts. They can also use them to build a mobile list of subscribers. They can also be used to direct people to your website, online video, or Facebook Fan page. The possibilities are unlimited.
QR Codes Still Newbies For
Website or Offline Marketing
Although, QR codes are very becoming more popular today, there are still some businesses that are not aware of the powerful benefits of using QR codes. Since they don’t know about the benefits, they’re missing out on all of the potential business that this cutting-edge technology can produce.
Some Benefits of QR Codes
Here are other benefits you can get from QR codes:
a. No Reprints
– QR codes do not require re – printing of your advertisements and promotions thus reducing your printing expenses. People can simply click on the QR codes provided to view information they need about the product. They can click the code anytime they want to retrieve the information.
b. Build Customer Excitement
– Providing QR codes in your products increases excitement because people are curious about what information is hiding behind your QR code. Now, they can instantly retrieve the information embedded in your QR codes. Clicking those codes facilitates feeling of thrill and instant gratification, which is great for business.
c. Prompt Response
– From the name itself “quick”, your clients do not have to wait long for additional information about the product. No longer do they have to wait until they get home to look at your website to get the information they want. QR codes facilitate immediate access to information about your business, products, and services.
Relevant facts acquired from QR codes facilitate convenience for the end-user when it comes to getting more information about your business or offer. You can also use QR codes to conduct surveys and customer feedback about your product or service.
Although they are still considered “new” technology, QR codes are quickly gaining popularity across the world when it comes to promoting, branding, and marketing businesses. Keep your eyes peeled for more QR Code related marketing ideas, this next year I predict they will begin to explode with use. If you offer offline or local marketing services to businesses you need to study up on how to use these and start suggesting their use to some of your clients.
If fact, I would pick up a QR Code generator and start sticking these on clients sites ….free of charge. As soon as they start making some money, well….. you know what to do s:)
