At our upcoming 2011 ma® World Conference, we’re planning a push into using QR Codes. If you’re unfamiliar with QR Codes, QR Codes are similar to barcodes — they are a code that can be scanned using your smartphone, which then directs you to a website, a photo, a PDF, etc…
In anticipation, I’ve created a few how to videos to help get you started with using QR Codes prior to ma World Conference. Please take a moment and watch the video for your respective smartphone. I’ve also included a sample QR Code for you to practice with beforehand, which takes you to our upcoming Valentine’s Day specials from Market America when scanned.
