QR Codes

A QR code is a specific matrix barcode that is readable by dedicated barcode readers that are most commonly contained on smart phones.  The QR code usually consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. 

At Advanced Telecom Services, however, we like to generate custom QR codes with some branding for you, just like the one on the left.  Through our proprietary software, we are able to add your logo or message to the QR code.

We also create mobile websites for use with your QR code.  These mobile web sites are optimized for the smaller screen of the mobile phone.  Virtually anything that you can do on a web site can be done with a QR code.

There are so many uses for QR codes that it’s difficult to know where to start.  Virtually anything that you can do on the internet, can be accessed through a handy QR code.  When you scan a QR code with your smart phone, you can link to digital content on the web or activate a number of cell phone functions such as email, IM, text message, or connect the mobile device to a web browser.

Some ways that QR codes are being used today include:

• Magazines and newspapers
• Additional advertising information
• Web site traffic
• Video link
• The back of your business card
• Outdoor advertisements
• Product tags and packages
• Convention name tags
• Menus
• Tickets
• Directions to your store
• Mobile coupons
• Downloading e-books

QR codes have been popular in Japan and Korea for many years, but are just beginning to have a significant impact here in North America.  QR codes are just one of the many important elements that you need to incorporate into your mobile marketing plans.
