QR Codes -- The Print Ad's Key to the Internet

Do you know what this is? Have you seen this before and not know what it is for?

This is a QR (standing for 'quick response') Code. If you were to scan it, using your PDA, it would automatically redirect you to Your Dream Day's twitter page. (Which, please follow us!)

I think that in three years QR codes will be regularly found on business cards, company advertisements and all collateral about your business. Be on the upswing of this trend so you look like more of a trend setter than a follower to your prospective customers!

For example -- next week, Your Dream Day and Wedding Market News are presenting the Alan Berg Meet & Mingle event on July 13, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Club at Key Center, each guest's nametag will not only have their name and business on it, but a QR code on it that will link to their website (or other page they'd like to promote.) (This event is free and open to all wedding vendors, unlike the full day-long seminar on 7/14 at the Hyatt with Alan). I'm also working with two different bridal show production companies this summer to incorporate QR Codes into their exhibitor's booth displays. Ultimately, the use of QR codes will translate to fewer business cards needing to be printed because your prospective clients can get the information they need sent directly to their phone!

Barcode Scanner v3.6 is my favorite android app, but you can type in the keyword "barcode scanner" and find a dozen apps that will do the same thing.

Generating a QR Code is easy -- you can visit any of the websites below to create your free codes.
