Goofy Looking Images Popping Up Everywhere Can Make You More Cash

Odd looking images that are popping up all over.
The are on magazines, soup cans, theater tickets,menus, T-Shirts and even Tattoos.
Adding them to your marketing toolbox is a wise idea.
These codes which are very common in Japan, where they were created by a Toyota subsidiary, Denso-Wave in 1994.
As the growth in use of "Smart-Phones" increases and as we move away from traditional print media and more toward Online Advertising, these codes will become even more common in the USA. AND more valuable to use in your marketing tactics.
Here is a sample from Wiki 
And you can learn more there too  Wikipedia on QR Codes

These codes work when a phone user simple points their phone at the image and if they have the proper software on the phone, the code can prompt the phone do several things. It can take you to a website, dial a phone number, send a SMS message, show a text message and others functions.
These can be placed on product in a grocery store and upon scanning the code more information can be given to the customer or maybe a secret coupon code can be given to them to use at the checkout.

These are now being used on Billboards, with the code being several feet high, so people can scan for more information or be sent to a web site with a video sales message.
QR Codes are also being place on the outsides of buildings also several feet high, to promote a new dress design or other offer.
These codes offer endless opportunities to get your brand in front of the eyes of consumers and in a very inexpensive way.
Take advantage of these NOW before these become too common. You can stand out in the crowd and be different which will get you more attention before they become too common and you get lost in the crowd.

Find a provider of web services to get you setup with your own QR Codes Marketing plan.
I personally can also provide ideas and services if you are so interested.

Another note, you can get free online storage from DropBox It is a handy place to put files you wish to share with others. You can put in a text file, pdf, Docs and others. If you "share" the folder with others, they then can also see what is inside the folder and open and view the files. Nice free service. If you need more space them you can subscribe for a small fee based upon how much more storage you need.
