QR Codes

You need to embrace and utilize the latest technologies if you want to profit from the current marketing revolution.

These strange looking codes, like the one left, are set to radically change the way companies (large and small) market themselves, their products, and their services.

Do you know what a QR CODE is? … and the potential it holds to fundamentally change the marketing landscape?

I’m sure you know what a barcode is, and how it is used.

Well, a QR Code is a 2d barcode … but … on STEROIDS!

A traditional bar code is used mainly on products, to provide identification, but it is really only used in stores, warehouses and similar places equiped with specialized barcode readers.

Well, QR Codes are similar except they hold much more information, and the real magic part is … they can be read by almost every cell phone! So almost everyone in the world can read a QR Code.

And, once a cell phone has read a QR Code, it can do many things with the information – display the contents of a website, send an SMS message, automatically add the information to the Contacts section of the phone … plus much more.

Coupons

Coupons have proven themselves to be highly effective sales tools for every conceivable size and type of business.

Because coupons “pull in the business” they have gained remarkable acceptance and popularity among astute marketing managers. A simple explanation for their acceptance by advertisers is their overwhelming acceptance and use by the consuming public.

Another independent marketing research firm, the A.C. Nielson Co., reveals that 95% of all shoppers like coupons. And 60% actively look for coupons.

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal entitled, “In a Pinch, Snip.”, states that coupon use rises, as the economy in any given area slides. 54% of shoppers surveyed said they had already stepped up use of coupons, and even more are expected to do so.

It’s very easy to see why coupon advertising is sweeping the country. Regular use of good couponing strategy will provide a steady stream of new customers and high quality sales leads.

According to CMS, a leading coupon processing agent, marketers issued 302 billion coupons in 2007, a 6% increase over the previous year. Over 76% of the population use coupons, according to the Promotion Marketing Association (PMA) Coupon Council.
