According to comScore, 20.1 million mobile phone owners in the U.S. used their devices to scan a QR code in the three-month average period ending October 2011. In the big scheme of things, this isn’t a large number. However, the number of people using QR codes is expected to grow.
QR codes are a new and exciting way to gain more business from your customers and prospects. Here are 10 hints how you can use QR codes in marketing your restaurants,cafes, pubs etc.
1. Place a QR code on a business card. It will keep the space clean, instead of overloading it with info.
2. Put a QR code image on a front door of your store or restaurant, or whatever that will lead customers to your online store. Website, where they can buy from you, or make an order, etc.
3. Insert a QR code on a place mat, while your customers are waiting for the order, they can scan the code and either go to your website, or Facebook page, or follow you on Twitter. Or maybe fill out a form with their feedback.
4. Use QR codes to code specials, discounts and giveaways. These codes can be placed in advertisements, or all over your restaurant (bar, hair salon, gas station, etc)
5. Create a 100 T-shirts with your QR code on it, and let interns walk in them. Code different messages in the QR codes, so that people could see more from you.
6. QR codes can also give tips and advice. Let your customers and prospects scan the code that will show them a How to tip labeled with your brand, and they will share the tip with their friends.

8. Build your email subscriber list. Use your QR code to send people to your email signup. Just make sure you give people a compelling reason to subscribe to your list…otherwise you will have just wasted their time. Not the best way to engage your audience.
