Brief Introduction to QR Codes




Here's a brief introduction to QR (Quick response) codes and my take on them, with some examples of how folks are using them :-)

I plan to add QR codes for my social media tip vlog posts to my 101 tips on social media ebook to make it more interactive and fun :-), so folks can click to clips in book or print it and scan with a smart phone!


Here is the lovely Nelly's (her nickname) of Cooks with Books business cards with a QR code, she said - @ Marnely Rodriguez 

@ 
 I think it's a fast way to send people your way! easier to scan a code than for ppl to type in a web address I think!

Heres a QR code for my website:-)


I used this site to make the code - http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
from twitter: 

@techgirl17 Cathy Goldenberg - a tech savy realtor from FL
I went to kimtag.com to create my qr code RT @chowandchatter: Anyone use QR codes ?



 Cathy Goldenberg 

On the back of my biz card, website and all correspondence. Kimtag.com/cathy RT :  what do you use it for?

and 

@Service_Queen Julie Crayne 
@chowandchatter I do. I have them on my business card. I also check out any QR code. I think they are really helpful

    • Paula Kiger Um, I used them at Old Navy which was doing a sort of scavenger hunt thing throughout the store. I have friends who are better at it and use them to transmit their contact info (i.e., you scan their code and it transmits their info to your contact list). I'd love to see the post when it's up - I am sure I'll learn something!!

    Rebecca, thanks so much for the shout out and picture of my card on your post! Definitely a new thing for most of us, and I do think that 28% of scanners will go up! :) Thanks for sharing another great video!
