<br />
<b>QRickit QR Code for Contact Info (meCard or vCard) </b><br />
When you want to send your contact info to someone, let them scan your QR Code with their smartphone. Simply use the <a href="https://qrickit.com/qrickit_apps/qrickit_qrcode_creator_vcard.php" target="_blank">QRickit QR Code Creator for Contact Info standard</a> or <a href="https://qrickit.com/m/" target="_blank">mobile version</a> and save the QR Code image to your smartphone (i.e. <i>photo album</i> or <i>files)</i>. Then if someone asks for your contact info, you can just open the QR Code image on your smartphone and tell them to scan it to add your contact info to their smartphone. You can create several QR Codes for situations where you want to share different or select info - like when you just want to transfer only your first name or nick name and email instead of all your personal contact details. You can control what kind of contact info you want to share.<i><b> </b></i><br />
<br />
* Tip: Add an appropriate text footer to your QR Code so you can identify it easily. <i><b><br /></b></i><br />
<br />
<b>QRickit QR Code for </b><b><b>Calendar Event or </b>Reminder </b><br />
When
you want to send calendar event/reminder info to someone, let them scan your QR
Code with their smartphone. Simply use the <a href="https://qrickit.com/qrickit_apps/qrickit_qrcode_creator_vcal.php" target="_blank">QRickit QR Code Creator for Calendar Event or Reminder standard</a> or <a href="https://qrickit.com/m/" target="_blank">mobile version </a>and save the QR Code image to
your smartphone (i.e. <i>photo album</i> or <i>files)</i>. If you want to pass on the info about a birthday party, soccer practice, meeting, appointment, etc., to someone just open the QR Code
image on your smartphone and tell them to scan it to add the event to their calendar.<br />
<br />
* Tip: Add an appropriate text footer to your QR Code so you can identify it easily. <br />

<br />
Now you don't have to download a 3rd party QR Code reader app and open it everytime you want to scan a QR Code.<br />
<br />
Just open your camera on your smartphone and point it to any QR Code. It will read it automatically and prompt you what to do next (i.e. open url in browser, add to contacts, add event to calendar, and so on depending on the type of QR Code data).<br />

KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) recently introduced Li'l Bucket Kids Meals. The outside of the small bucket is designed with fun stuff such as puzzles, riddles, pictures and a QR code. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Including the QR code on Li’l Bucket Meals makes it easy for moms to access complete information on the product,” said a senior manager of public relations at KFC Corp., Louisville, KY.<br /><br />“The QR code links to a mobile page that includes product information – including the food options available in Li’l Bucket Meals – complete nutrition information, and a link to enter to win KFC’s ‘Ultimate Playground Experience Sweepstakes,’”<br /><br />“Nine out of 10 KFC customers have mobile phones, so this is a convenient way to put all our Kids Meal information at mom’s fingertips.”</span><br />
<br />
Now many restaurants and consumer packaged goods companies are taking advantage of QR codes that link to more detailed product and nutritional information, hence freeing up valuable packaging space while also taking advantage of the growing smartphone adoption rate.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Since last summer virtually all of our packaging, including buckets and boxes, has included QR codes,”<br /><br />“We are always striving to find the best, most relevant ways to connect with our customers and the QR code on our Li’l Bucket Meals is a great way to connect with moms,”<br /><br />“As consumers continue to get more comfortable interacting with brands through mobile devices, our use of QR codes will continue to grow.”</span>QRickithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10685584704397738450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191025511823653806.post-45349062047412589502013-02-01T09:24:00.003-05:002021-09-25T13:39:56.623-04:00Krispy Creme QRickit QR Code<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This Valentine's Day time, doughnut chain, Krispy Creme, is offering heart-shaped doughnuts. On the box there is a QR Code which when scanned lets the user send a Valentine eCard to someone.<br />
<br />
This is the second time Krispy Kreme has used QR codes. It has also used
them for in-store promotions such as Dozen Days of
Doughnuts, Krispy Skremes and the launch of the Hot Light app. <br />
<br />
According to a Krispy Creme spokesperson:<br />
<br />
“The QR code is an extension of the cards that are provided in our Valentines Boxes and a way to extend those cards to a larger audience.”<br />
<br />
“This enables our fans share the joy digitally.” <br />
<br />
“You receive more scans when the QR codes are integrated into multiple
printed pieces and placed where consumers can see them in your shop and
at their eye-level.”<br />
<br />
“If the QR codes are incorporated into a campaign over at least two weeks you will have measurable results.”<br />

The QR codes link to an exclusive video, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", a behind-the-scenes look at a new national TV ad, and online games.<br />
<br />
"Our Hobbit campaign and accompanying QR codes allow us to give access to a much more robust array of content and really give our guests a new layer of the brand experience. QR codes are especially relevant in interacting with the next generation of Denny's guests, specifically the younger demographic where social media and the mobile experience is an important part of their everyday lives." said John Dillon, VP of Marketing at Denny's.<br />
<br />
Denny's customers who purchase select Hobbit-inspired entrees will also receive a card pack including exclusive collectible trading cards designed around the film and Denny's coupons.<br />

"QR codes are highly transactional and we saw an opportunity to use them in a very meaningful way to further connect and extend the guest experience with this new partnership...With our Hobbit campaign, we want guests to 'continue the journey' at Denny's." said Mr. Dillon.QRickithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10685584704397738450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191025511823653806.post-92174153427327768812012-10-04T09:30:00.003-04:002021-09-25T13:41:39.511-04:00Target QR CodeThis October, at retail giant, Target, customers can scan the QR Codes displayed in-store and on the packaging of this year's 20 most popular toys to buy them directly via their smartphones (and have them shipped too if needed).

"One in five are using QR codes today and that number is growing rapidly."<br />
"They [QR Codes] provide guests with flexibility and expand their shopping experience."<br />
<br />
Vice President of Toys, Target, says:<br />
"Our in-store QR codes for this year's top toys will add real convenience for busy moms. Now, rather than hoping the kids won't notice when a gift is slipped into the cart, guests can scan the QR codes to buy top toys and have them shipped anywhere for free."QRickithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10685584704397738450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191025511823653806.post-12910021756299554732012-05-10T09:32:00.003-04:002021-09-25T13:42:33.126-04:00Virtual QR Code Store in SubwayFollowing the use of QRickits and wall-to-wall posters in subway statioins in Japan and Korea (<a href="http://qrickit.com/" target="_blank">see this Youtube video</a>), US online grocery store, <a href="http://www.peapod.com/" target="_blank">Peapod</a>, has created a virtual store in the subway tunnels of Chicago <br />

Busy commuters can now scan QRickits at subway stations to order groceries that will be delivered to their homes.<br />
<br />
QRickit is helping create virtual storefronts for pizza and other restaurants and shops that offer delivery or pickup.<br />

Ask <a href="http://qrickit.com/askqrickit.php" target="_blank">QRickit</a> if you are interested in expanding your business using this method.<br />

<br />
Oftentimes, shoppers leave the store and forget to sign up for the program later, but by encouraging shoppers to sign up while at the store using their smartphones will help prevent such cases.<br /><br />Last year Express also used QRickits in its fall catalog to promote online and offline sales of its new product lines.<b><i> </i></b><br />

<ul>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">About 1 in 5 who scanned a QR code made a purchase after scanning </li>
<li>81% say they’ve seen a QR code, but only 21% knew what they were called </li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Half of smartphone users have scanned a QR code</li>
<li>70% of those who scanned QR codes, said it was very easy</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">41% say the information they got was useful</li>
<li>Magazines and newspapers are the most common QR source for those who’ve scanned a code</li>
<li>46% of those who’ve scanned a QR code did so because they were curious</li>
</ul>
According to a senior consultant at CMB, <br />
<br />
“There is acceptance of the technology from consumers.” <br />
“For marketers, there is the opportunity to engage with consumers through these QR codes."<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
This data tells us that American consumers are ready for QR Codes but business/marketers/developers have to provide more useful information and content for consumers after they scan QR Codes.<br />

The campaign's goal is to educate shoppers about QR Codes as well as drive traffic to the mall where videos about how QR Codes work will also be shown. During the holiday season, staff T-shirts and signs featuring QR Codes will give shoppers a chance to win a grand prize for a $1,000 shopping spree.<br />

"By incorporating the QR codes into this charitable campaign, it was a great way to relate to Chili’s tech-savvy guests while giving St. Jude supporters another, easily accessible way to donate to the charity," said a Chili's spokesperson. <br />
