More on QR Codes

So, did you know that QR codes are now being used as Facebook profile pictures? I am serious! I just scanned one and was brought to a page featured the brand's latest sweepstakes. For those of you that are new to QR codes take time to download the app and get started.

Before you know it they will be on everything from menu to maps. Some believe that QR are not going mainstream, but that is a tough argument to make. Have you seen a major of the marketing efforts put forth by brands lately? QR codes are everywhere from websites to fliers to well, Facebook profile pictures.

Again, I urge you to have a well built site before you implement any type of QR codes. Stop and really thing about it. QR codes may be cool and the latest social media tool, but how will they help you if you are sending consumers back to an ugly website? I am guessing it won't help at all.

Spend time on your websites before you spend time on QR codes! I am guessing it may not be long before we review ugly website we found view QR codes.
