People, you must think outside the box to make something like a QR code work in your favor, I hear lots of people here saying they look ugly but your are not going to marry the code and neither does your customer. if they look ugly then brand it to work in your favor. There are multiple ways to use QR codes not only for this type business but for any other because they can keep lots of useful information within like: promotions, discounts, ID's, maps, etc. be creative and do not settle for the uglyness of it.
the question is not whether I like it or not but how can the use of a QR code can benefit my customer (to attract them or make them remain loyal). regards MF El domingo, 7 de septiembre de 2014 17:55:10 UTC-5, Jane Behr escribió: > > Agree that strategic thinking is important - Rachel's example is perfect. > > There are ways to make them less ugly these days - here are some well > designed QR codes <http://www.visualead.com/explore-qr-code-designs/>. > > I like this idea: If you want to get someone to fill out a form or survey > , a QR code linking to an online form might work > <http://www.visualead.com/blog/form-qr-codes-saving-time-trees/>. > > On Tuesday, June 17, 2014 9:26:13 AM UTC-7, creativespace wrote: > >> You hit the nail on the head, Rachel.
