QR Code Business Card Applications

By Stephen Franklin


QR codes are tiny abstract patterns that can be printed on any surface and used to convey a form of encrypted information. They are quite similar to barcodes in principle although they look different by virtue of their designs. QR codes can now be found on various objects including business cards.

QR Code Business Card

Free QR codes are similar to bar codes. They are nothing more than assortment of shapes packed into a small area. The way pattern is made can be decrypted to reveal all sorts of information.

Contact Info

For instance, sometimes you may want to give out business cards to people at a party but they prefer electronic copies instead. It would be time-consuming to have to dictate all your details while they type on their phones. If you have the info embedded on the QR code then they will be able to scan it and catch every detail in an instant.

URL

The QR code could be used to hold a website URL which you can use as a marketing tool among contacts. For instance, have it link to your company's About Us page to allow them to get to know your business better. You can also have point to product promotions or stellar reviews. Creative types may link to a video that shows you explaining your business or giving a short talk in a conference. The only limit is your imagination so let in run wild. Make the most of this technology.

GPS Maps

Make it easier for people to find you. An earnest client may lose patience if they can't locate your site based on your address. Use the code to carry the coordinates of your office on the map. When the client scans it, he can capture the data and feed it to his GPS navigator so that he can drive there quickly. No more irate calls demanding directions.

There are so many new technologies that are coming out and we should take advantage of them to promote our business. Doing so gives the impression that you are a tech savvy entrepreneur.
