Can QR Codes Improve Your Business?

Okay, Im going to venture off subject just a wee bit. Technically this post isnt about Android, Android for Lawyers, or even Android apps. However, its about QR codes, which if you use an Android app, you can read. So, like the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, I think I made a connection to Android in 2.

QR codes have been around awhile, weve always called them barcodes or UPC symbols. The great thing about the QR code is the amount of information you can store in a compact amount of space. Were starting to see QR codes used everywhere: at the movie theater, in stores, at your grocer. If theres a place to place a QR icon, someone will put it there.

The question is, do QR codes actually help improve your business marketing? Id love to know your thoughts. Ive used QR codes for a variety of things, I even had one placed on this site. I dont know that any QR code has increased my business, rather the access I have to my business.

Free Enterprise blog has this post suggesting uses for QR codes. My favorite suggestion is to use them as promotions for sales or special discounts. Im not a fan of sending someone to a website, but everyone loves to scan a code and get free stuff.
