What are QR Codes?

You may have seen these codes in magazine ads, on store front windows or in the newspaper.  QR Codes are catching on in the advertising world and if you have a business, you should know what they are and how you can use them to your advantage.

So what are QR Codes?
A QR Code is a two dimensional barcode which can be quickly and easily scanned by most camera and smart phones.  QR Codes can contain many different types of data - URL, phone number, SMS, vCard, coupon codes, Google Maps, social networking accounts, YouTube videos, and much more.

What can I use a QR Code for?
Using a QR Code can be a great way to point people directly to your website or blog, allow them to download your vCard (makes a great addition to the backside of a business card) or simply give you a call.  It makes it easier for your customers to contact you in just about every way, they don't even have to enter your data into their phone because the QR Code provides it with just a click of their camera.
