Why the Best Online Marketing May Be Headed Offline

"By printing a Quick  Response (QR) bar code on any item — a lamp, the program booklet of an event, or a retail store window – a consumer can quickly link from the real-world experience to rich web content via his Smartphone. Using QR codes, jump points to the Internet can be placed anywhere in the physical world." ...
..."They come to us from Japan where they are very common. QR is short for Quick Response (they can be read quickly by a cell phone). They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone. It takes literally 1 minute for someone with an iPhone or Android phone to find and install the reader".

** Not all QR Readers/Scanners work the same on all smart phones or even different models of the same phone.
Recommend to a homeowner that does not have a QR Reader to use their favorite search engine and search "QR Reader (phone make and model) Reviews" and to read the reviews until they find a QR Reader that has been found to work well on their phone make and model. This will save them the time and trouble of downloading one that works well for them on their phone, the first time.
We have heard that QR Reader app's that work well on the iPhone 3 may not work well on the iPhone 4. And the QR Reader software that worked well on a Blackberry did not work well on Android system.
