QR Code Research

In today’s business world, more and more companies are using QR codes. Many ask the question “What is a QR code?” A QR code is an actual physical link on or offline that allows a company to display or advertise themselves. You simply scan the bar code and it will connect you to specific information about a certain company or product. Many well-known companies still use these QR codes even though they are well established. This kind of advertisement has grown dramatically over the past 5 years with thousands of new codes made every day. A QR code is an input device because you scan an actual image and it sends data to a device. Some of the benefits of using QR codes are:

1.       Direct access to a specific location.

2.       Unlimited amount of information provided by scanning one code.

3.       A mystery: Studies show that 8 out of every 10 people will scan the QR code just to see what it says. Even in the information is irrelevant to them in the end.

The only down side to QR codes is having the right equipment/technology to actually scan the code. As most people have the right technology, many do not. Over the next 2 years, QR codes are expected to expand 37%.
