A Quick Response (QR) code is a two-dimensional matrix barcode that can store data such as contact information, calendar events, URLs, phone numbers, emails, mailing addresses, or any other text up to 7,089 characters. A barcode reader application installed on a mobile device or a handheld scanner connected to a computer can read QR codes.

QR Codes act as physical hyperlinks; they link offline to online and print to mobile. They can be placed on a business card, a catalog, a direct mail piece, or a product label to link the marketing piece to the Internet. You can use QR Codes in a variety of ways such as QR Codes on a direct mail piece.  A common use case of QR Codes in marketing campaigns is storing a URL in a QR Code and printing it on a direct mail piece as a response mechanism. When recipients scan the barcode with their mobile device, they’ll connect to a landing page where they can find more information about the product or service being marketed. QR Codes can store both generic and personalized URLs. When using personalized QR Codes, you can increase your response rate by also personalizing the landing pages linked to the barcode and delivering a more targeted message. Other common uses are listed below but with some imagination the possibilites are endless.

QR Codes on a product or corporate brochure:

You can engage customers by printing brochures with a QR Code that links visitors to a web page containing product demonstration, video testimonials, FAQ, etc.
