Presentation looking at solutions for Marketing within a particular space or location
QR Codes (Quick Response Codes) can be used to create a digital action on a mobile phone from a normal printed surface.
One of the best sites for generating QR Codes is http://tiny.cc/qrcodegeneratorQR Codes can be used to create a large variety of actions on a mobile phone, from displaying some text to sending an email, displaying a map, running a video creating a contact card for your phone’s contacts, or a calendar event for an important date straight into your phone’s calendar.
Using QR Codes on notices, interesting objects and clothing to help slowly change the way people interact with their mobile devices in your learning spaces. Encourage and promote the positive use of mobile technologies and send out ‘useful’ information so that will want to continue to interact and follow your communication mediums. Colour coding QR codes could be a way of quickly pointing an informed audience that different types of content are available at the different coloured QR Codes.. Eg: White for a weblink, Blue to an audio file, red for a video file. In this way, an informed audience could make a choice about what they want to download to their mobile device depending upon bandwidth and their connectivity restrictions.
Re-Direct sites provide the means to allow you to re-use existing QR Codes and NFC Tags when they are linked to an appropriate ‘Re-Direct’ site. For the instances referred to here, I have used a site called http://p-qr.com - This site creates QR codes that are linked to a re-useable landing page.
Using URL Shortner sites mean that you can customise long web addresses into something that can be easily spoken and written down for helping with marketing (eg: “tiny dot cc slash, qr code generator or http://tiny.cc/qrcodegenerator)
Re –Direct sites allow one printed QR Code.. To perform different actions depending upon when and what you want it to do. So, for printed QR Codes in your College prospectus or for the posters around town, they can be made to point to different videos, offers, display text, send emails… at different times of the year.
Some Re-Direct sites also provide useful information on the location of where the CLICK’s came from
If you used this type of solution for different QR Code posters in different publications or in different geographical locations, you would be able to monitor which QR codes were the most effective for different audiences.

One other feature of some Re-Direct sites is that they inform you, via email (which can be picked up on a mobile phone).. of a summary of the effectiveness of the links during the day, so you can see when each of your links were clicked and by how many people. In the example here, one link was clicked 61 and another 32 times since it was sent out on Twitter.
Bluetooth devices can be used to broadcast information to people walking past. There are a range of devices which can be used with different ranges and effects. Bluetooth solutions can be short animated picture files (GIFs) or videos etc sent to mobile phone.
It is important when using Bluetooth to try and suggest to people to turn on their bluetooth device. A train station in Lisbon has floor notices that help make the public aware that they are walking in a Bluetooth broadcast area.
A library in Delft, in Holland, (Top Left) has a Bluetooth station for prompting students to come to it and pick up the latest bluetooth messages. Could you use something similar in a foyer or reception area? Bottom right, library at Guildford College with a notice for students.
