They are similar to standard bar codes but have much more functionality. QR codes are encoded with information ranging from text, photos, and videos, to website addresses and are scanned by smart phones. They are used to send those who scan the codes to places online and are very effective marketing tools. "QR" stands for "quick response" which is in total alignment with the world today. Everyone wants everything NOW!
QR codes can be used in marketing to direct potential or current customers to any URL and add the ability to track and measure direct mail and email campaigns when used in conjunction with cross media marketing solutions.
