How To Use QR Codes

Make it easy for your customers to access whatever content you want, right from their mobile phone using the latest technology of the QR code and MS tag.




Have you ever wondered “where did I put that business card?”

Having a code on your Business Card allows your customer to keep your contact information with them24/7 They simply scan the code or tag with their Mobile Phone, your website instantly appears on their mobilephone and can be found in their web history at any time.





Now this is powerful for business owners especially those in the real estate or building industry.

Example
A couple who are house hunting are driving down the street and see a “House For Sale” that grabs their attention. They are on a tight schedule and running late – they pull up outside the house – scan the code on the for sale sign and continue to their destination. They now have all the details on the house right there on their mobile phone and save it to their favourites to browse at anytime. Without the code on the for sale sign they may have driven past with the intention to drive by another day to check the house out, but later on or the next day they can’t remember the address or the real estate agents details to follow it up.




Imagine sending out flyer or placing an advert in the local paper with a QR Code on it. The offer on the flyer/advert reads ” Scan the code with your Mobile for a chance to win an IPad” or “Scan the code to receive a 50% Discount on your next visit” They scan the code and are taken to an interactive website where they enter their details to receive the discount or the chance to win an IPad.

What Is A QR Code?

Created by Toyota subsidiary Denso-Wave in 1994 QR Codes were initially used in tracking parts in Vehicle Manufacturing.

QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response, to allow it's contents to be decoded at high speed.

Japan and South Korea adopted the QR Codes technology in their marketing and QR Codes have become common in these 2 countries.

QR codes are now used in a much broader context, including both commercial tracking applications and convenience-oriented applications targeted at mobile phone users. QR codes can be used to display text to the user, to add a vCard contact to the user's device, to open and view a website (URL) or to compose an email or text message.

QR codes may appear in magazines, on signs, buses, business cards, t-shirts or almost any object which users might need information. Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct reader application can scan the image of the QR code to display text, contact information, connect to a wireless network, or open a web page in the phone's browser. The best Iphone4 Application is QR Code City.

If you have not got a smart phone you will find that with all mobile phones that have a camera you can download a QR Code reader within your browser on your mobile phone.

Some websites will not show up "correctly" on your mobile as not all websites are tailored to suit a Mobile Phone browser. OzCodes can make a Mobile Website specifically tailored to suit your Business, and provide you with a QR Code to take your customers directly to your website/mobile website/video etc.
