Share your business with QR codes on your phone

So how can you take advantage of this growing trend for your business? Keep in mind that much more than web addresses can be scanned. For example, you could:

• Direct employers to your resume, your LinkedIn profile or your Vcard

• Use a QR code in a direct mail piece, business card or postcard to provide a discount

• Give customers an inside look at your new Facebook promotion

• Take them to a page with more detailed information that wouldn’t easily fit in a print ad

• Use them to deliver step-by-step instructional videos or a printable setup sheet

• Have the QR code send a tweet when scanned, or check in with Foursquare

• Let them enroll in an event such as a webinar or teleseminar

• Use the QR code to let customers send themselves a reminder via SMS

• Link them to a special “Exclusive” YouTube video
