QR codes offer new realm of possibilities - 0 views

  • "We just started using them," explained Abby Suiter, practice manager for Daniel Island Animal Hospital. "…It’s all about clicking a link, so you don’t have to type in an address. You just scan it."
  • "We are using QR codes to try to get information out to potential patients and anyone who is interested in orthodontics as efficiently as possible," added Dr. Michael Zetz of Daniel Island-based Crescent Moon Orthodontics. "QR codes give you a way to give somebody information or access to information really easily."
  • Both Suiter and Zetz say they have added QR codes in their practice exam rooms, so patient families can literally tap into additional, relevant information while waiting.

  • "You can generate a unique QR code for each (web) page you want to direct them to," said Suiter, who is using QR codes in the office currently to promote their new website. "You can put in whatever you want."
  • "All of a sudden, you’ve engaged the person," Zetz added. "They’re flipping, scrolling, and looking at (your business). Most everybody puts their website in their print ads, and that’s a good thing, but that extra step of reading it and putting it into your computer and then looking it up is harder than ‘oh, there it is!’ You’re removing that step…The QR code sort of bridges the gap a little bit from a marketing standpoint. "
  • "You can only put so much in a print ad, and you hope somebody reads it and takes home one thing from it. But if they stop and scan a QR code, a lot more information is immediately available and you get a lot better feel for what’s going on."
  • Delta Pharmacy on Daniel Island is yet another business utilizing QR portals to better serve current and future customers. According to company representative John Joe Salazar, about 400 people have downloaded the app to access Delta’s unique QR code.
  • "The culture of the day is definitely inundated with mobile technology," said Salazar. "From ages 8 – 88, people seem to be ever busy with conversing, texting, emailing or just doodling on those little mobile devices we call ‘cells.’ This technology is only going to increase and here at Delta we wanted to stay ahead of the game."
  • A custom QR code enables Delta customers to easily order prescriptions and access store data, added Salazar. They currently post the code on their website, retail bags, and other printed materials. Delivery trucks and personalized water bottles with QR labels are also in the works, he said. The Daniel Island Animal Hospital also plans to add more access via QR codes in the future, such as linking users to blog topics of interest.
  • "We can put them on flyers for any property and have a direct link to the property on our website," said Jennings. "They are easy to create, easy to use, and are just a faster medium of getting people to our website for the information they need."

MediaPost Publications NFC To Eclipse QR Codes 12/01/2011 - 0 views

  • A recent Forrester report, which estimated adoption of QR codes among mobile users increased from 1% in 2010 to 5% this year, noted that the technology has encountered various obstacles to broader use.
  • These include basic unfamiliarity of what these codes even do, the required step of downloading a 2D barcode reader -- and most importantly for marketers -- disappointing content that turns off potential users. For example, codes that embed long URLs, making them harder to scan, or that lead to content that has not been mobile-optimized and offers little value to end users.
  • The Yankee Group study also pointed out that QR codes are vulnerable to misuse. What happens when fraudsters place their own codes as stickers on top of legitimate QR codes to obtain personal information by redirecting users to a fake Web site?

  • While NFC will do away with many QR code limitations, it will not entirely eliminate the role of codes. The use of QR codes in magazines, for instance, is unlikely to be killed off by NFC -- at least within the next few years.
