View what are QR Codes as a Video Blog

QR Codes, or Quick Response codes, are funny little square 2D barcodes which look a bit like modern art, but in fact they contain information for your company such as your company, or companies contact addresses, like web address, phone number and key person to contact. QR Codes are free to produce and can be read by mobile phones via a free QR Code barcode reader application - and it's not JUST for IPhones.

QR Codes can then be printed off and attached to off line advertising or installed on your company website, this way your customers or potential customers can just scan the barcode into their mobile phone and have all of your company or companies contact information stored for later.

Yes I know this could be considered lazy, but it is a very convenient way to get your company information sent straight to busy clients who are always on the go, some restaurants are using it to provide you with their menu information, now I can certainly see the advantage of this.

To read Specnets QR Code to the right simply select your QR reader in your mobile phone application folder, if your phone comes pre-installed with one, if not follow some links to QR readers below or search your app store for QR reader. Then align our barcode below with your phone's QR reader and you will have all our contact information sent straight to your mobile phone giving you a prime example of how powerful this can be, depending on the reader you use this can be a bit fidderly, and we recommend Bee tagg. When you get a notification that your phone has acquired the data you then just need to save it to a note and it's ready for use at a later time by accessing that note.

These QR code readers can then be used for any 2D barcode similar to ours be it on-line on a web site, on a building in the street or even on a pair of trousers, to get more information about that object or company.

Most new smart phones are equipped with QR readers, if yours is not you can download them for free from your apps section by simply searching for QR readers.
