QR Codes - Design & Reporting

What is a QR Code?
A QR (Quick Response) Code is a bar code that readable by all smart cell phones. QR Codes are images that you add to print ads and can store a website URL, contact card, phone number, email address, Facebook Page or YouTube video link. For example, if a simple URL is encoded into the QR Code, a viewer would open their QR Code reader app on their phone and point the camera at the QR Code image in your ad. The QR Code decoding software will fire up the phone's browser and go straight to that website URL.

The Difference Between Free & Paid QR Codes
Free QR Codes do simple re-directs and don't allow you to track user scans so you have no idea if your printed ad campaign is effective or not. Paid QR Code generators provide an analytics program that allows you track each time your QR Code was scanned.

We will provide you with a QR Code that links to a specific URL, Facebook page, contact card or YouTube video. You will then receive weekly statistics that show you how effectively your marketing dollars are being spent. Reports will be emailed to you once a week with a summary of the following tracking activities:

• Scans -The number of times a QR Code has been scanned.
• Unique Scans - The total number of scans counted once from a single mobile device, and in a specified amount of time.
• Location - The number of times a user has accessed your campaign from a specific location.
• Phones - A breakdown of the phone brands used to view your campaign page.
