Getting creative with QR codes

The surprise and convenience of QR codes

QR codes are a great way to automatically connect users to a particular webpage or to activate a phone function such as a call, email, IM or SMS. Much like a barcode, businesses can easily incorporate these computer-generated images into a range of media.

Whether you want to make getting in contact easy, link to additional information or even surprise viewers with an unexpected landing page, QR codes offer convenience, ease of use and, if you like, a certain element of mystery and surprise.
