What is a QR-code?
This is called a QR-code and it is apparently becoming popular in many
countries. Many newer mobile phones have the ability to read these codes.
(And if your phone does not, then simply google 'free qr-code reader') The whole idea is that you can
quickly and easily make sure that people have easy access to your company
details or contact details without having to write it all down or without
having to copy the information from a business card.
Apparently, these clever ‘barcode’ type codes were invented by someone at
Toyota for use in their factories to track parts. These codes are now widely
used in the USA and Japan and I understand use is growing in other countries.
The key difference between this QR-code and an ordinary bar-code is that a
bar-code can only store a number. A QR-code can store a much larger amount of
data: Anything from a website name, to contact details or an advertising
special. Even, a complete V-card information card with all the contact
details found on a business card.
So, if you see a strange looking square pattern like this on a business
card, flier or brochure, and if you have the neccesary free software on your
phone, then you can instantly scan the code, and without having to write down
anything, you can have instant access to that company’s details or product
details.
The first person to phone us, or e-mail us the content of the QR-code
shown above, wins a free bottle of wine. (Conditions: You need to be over 18
to enter and you must be prepared to pick up your prize from our offices at
142 Main Street, Greytown, within 14 days of winning the prize, or the prize
goes to the next correct entry, same conditions apply.)
