Sorry for the large spacing between the images, but i was not able to fix it due to the technical issues. However, the content of the blog is good- so read it! something very original ;DDD
Due to the vast improvement of the technology, adaptation is crucial. Today, many businesses use QR Codes in order to promote their products either by sending a link to the website, video or giving the audience a small text.
What is QR Code?
QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can be read by many cell phones and smartphones. The codes, which are small squares with black and white patterns, appear in a variety of places, such as magazine and newspaper ads. A QR code is used to encode some sort of information, such as text or a URL.
The "QR" in QR codes stands for "quick response," as the codes are designed to be read quickly. QR codes can be read by dedicated QR code readers and by some cell phones. To read a QR code, your cell phone will need a camera -- so it can snap a picture of the code -- and a QR code reader. You can find many free QR code readers in the various app stores for different phone platforms.
Once your cell phone reads the code, the information that it stores is shared with you. You may be taken to a URL where you can watch a movie trailer, or you may be given details about the company you saw advertised. You may even be presented with a coupon for a local business.
By using the internet, I went to do a little research in order to understand how many businesses were able to promote their products through the use of QR Codes.
This is a perfect example, where a business had used Google Map in order to inform the audience of the business existence. As soon as the person, opens the link he? she would not only be able to find out the location of the outlet on the map, but also the opening times, link to the websites and reviews from previous customers.
