Most of us have all seen them and all know what they do. For those who are new to QR codes, here is a brief explanation:

QR code stands for quick response code. These codes can be scanned with your smartphone, through an app, or a barcode scanner. They have a high speed scan which is where the term “quick response” comes from. Once you see one of these codes, you scan and there you have it! Whatever information is encoded in the QR code comes right up; a website, a coupon and many other possibilities can come from a simple scan.

QR codes are all over the place. They’re being used for all sorts of things. QR codes are being used in unique and fascinating ways. There are temporary children tattoos that include the child’s information and who to contact in case they get lost, restaurants are posting them in their windows for a quick easy download of their menu, used car salesmen are putting them in ads to get fast information on the type of car you are looking for, real estate agents place codes on their for sale signs or posts to give information on homes, software updates can be downloaded through a simple QR code as well, etc.

QR codes are being used by small businesses on their business cards, labels, ads, and signs. A new trend is businesses incorporating QR codes in their logos. A logo is important when marketing a product or a service; they are recognizable with only a glance at times. Introducing QR codes into logos is a great idea because wherever your logo is it can be scanned for information.
