QR Code

A QR code is a two-dimensional square bar code that can store encoded data. Most of the time, the data is a link to a website (a URL). A QR code extends the data on any physical object and creates a digital dimension for marketing operations. This technology allows and accelerates the use of mobile web services, being a very creative digital tool.
QR codes were created in 1994 by Denso Wave, a Japanese subsidiary of Toyota Group. The use of this technology is now free. QR code is not the only two-dimensional barcode on the market, another example is the Data Matrix code.

QR code campaigns with SMS

If you connect a QR code to an SMS text message, then a conversation can be automatically opened, and an exchange of data becomes possible. This is MUCH more powerful and effective, and means that when a user scans a QR Code, they can also send an automatic text message, giving businesses the opportunity to capture their mobile numbers for future marketing. This speeds up ‘opt-in’ mobile marketing, something that can also be done long hand via texting a word into a short code. QR codes linking with SMS can even go a stage further. After the QR Code has been scanned, and the SMS message has been automatically opened on the phone, businesses can also request that users enter an email address in the SMS message, and automatically reply with digital marketing collateral, for example, say a PDF brochure direct to the palms of their hands.
