Wow, that is the exciting part and some of it is based only on your imagination. Here are a few of my suggestions. Add a QR Code to Your Print Brochures Add a QR Code to your print brochure, you can send your user to your home page or better yet send them to a custom created landing page that has a special offer to allow you to actually measure the results of your exposure from a trade show, speaking engagement, direct mailing. Offer Special Coupon Codes and Promotions Want to track mobile Web users? As most desktop users are not using QR Code scanners, you can encode special offers as a text snippet and even embed a special coupon code in a QR Code that can then be used immediately by smartphone users. Encourage Google HotPot, FourSquare, and Google Places Reviews By embedding your QR Code on your menu or guest check, restaurants can encourage visitors to interact immediately with location specific places to share their favorite spots with others and encourage visitors to\u00a0even leave service reviews. Print a QR Code on the back of your business card With the ability to embed a vCard in your QR Code, you can make it easy for smartphone users to add your contact information to their phone and if they are syncing to Outlook will appear there too. How do you think you will use a QR Code? Just click comments and let me know your suggestion too."}
