HELEN ASK: Who knows what QR codes are are or what they do? What QR means - Quick Response Who's used them before in their own marketing? Who scanned one before today?
Attributed to Denso-Wave (subsidiary of Toyota Group) 1994 Mashable infographic Why were they created? What's wrong with the old bar codes?
Contains more information than a traditional barcode Just over 4,000 alphanumeric or over 7,000 our numeric. Can contain: text, URL, SMS message, links to apps, contact information, sign up for a newsletter, video, google maps location, itunes link, sign up for and event,
Damaged codes could still be read Able to be read quickly No special equipment required. Can work on most regular cell phones Meaning it's accessible for a very wide audience...
No recent data :(
This massive increase could have something to do with the iphone4 released in June 2010?
60 % Male Majority 36.8% aged 25-34 followed by 19.6% 35 - 44 Most popular sources: Newspapers & printed mags - 49% Product Packaging 35 Website -27 Poster, flyer or Kiosk - Business card brochure Storefront TV
794 online respondents Econsultancy (Sep 2011) 64% dont know 36% know 11% scanned Of those who scanned just under half found them useful and would use them again. Mashable (Mar 2011) 52% know 28% scanned But those that do like them could be a good target market.

Examples
Muddy Boots staying in ‘the game’ we showed Waitrose that we were keeping up with technologies - weren’t many small food brands using the codes because of the cost Paid someone £30 a month to manage, swap videos Videos peaked interest from moosletter and social media But only got 20-25 scans a month, some from moosletter Poor 3G reception and older non techie audience Looking forward to blippar feel it could revolutionalise like the ipod The conclusion is that it’s always good to show you’re on trend but the people telling you that something is the ‘future’ are usually trying to sell it to you.
