Did you ever wonder what those funny square drawings are that your starting to see more and more of.  Well, they are QR codes short for “quick response”.  Let’s talk about how to put them to use.

What exactly are those QR codes?

QR codes are simply a more complex barcode. within the two-dimensional design of the QR code lies a hidden code that a computer can read and translate that data into a format that you can understand.  the way it works is simple, if your telephone has a camera you can most likely download a free QR code reader application.  You then take a picture of the QR code with the app and you are instantly directed to or informed of what this square is all about.

You have basically four different data feeds that you can create

• A note: this will open up a notepad in the person’s phone to display what ever text, call to action or advertisement you wanted to display

• SMS / text message: this will have the mobile device send out a text message, receive a text message or opt in to a text messaging autoresponder service

• a direct link to a website URL: this will have the web browser open up and link the person directly to the website that you chose to embed into QR code
