QR Codes – The next generation marketing tool
QR Codes are popping up everywhere – in magazines, on billboards, on business cards an product packaging. You might be wondering what on earth are QR codes and why would you need them for your business. Here is a quick introduction to this new marketing concept.
A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Toyota subsidiary, Denso-Wave in 1994.
The “QR” is derived from “Quick Response”, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. It was initially used to label and track automotive parts, but it has since been gaining recognition as a next generation marketing tool.
Similar in concept to barcodes, QR codes can be used to encode pictures, text, vCard information, website URL or phone numbers. They can in fact encode up to 7,000 alphanumeric characters, all in a space of a square inch or less.
