Saving My Clients Time Through Mobile QR Barcodes

Sarasota Concierge QR Contact Code
When I started my concierge business in Sarasota, FL; one of my main objective was to save my clients TIME. QR Barcodes may be able to do just that!
A QR Code is a Barcode or two-dimensional “thingy” (that is the technical term for them) intended to decode information within the code at a high speed. How is it decoded? You use your smart phone with a specific bar code reader. QR codes are being used extensively in mobile marketing campaigns overseas and are starting to make a breakthrough in the U.S. The idea is to make one for your business information or marketing campaign and others can download your details. Confused? If you are, I bet 90% of society will be too. Either way, I predict that this will continue to become more mainstream here in the U.S.
For a list of bar code readers compatible with your system, take a look here and then try scanning the code below.
I also like NeoReader: Key the following URL get.neoreader.com into your handset’s web browser, and follow on-screen instructions. Then you can download the correct NeoReader version to your mobile phone.
I downloaded a free i-nigma barcode reader for my iPhone.
Once you have the reader, point your camera phone at the box code and it will automatically bring up all of my information and give you the option to either call me or to download/save my contact details. I love that! It means that you do not have to try to type in contact details on your keypad. It saves you time.

Scan the bar code below with you smart phone and rather then giving you the option to download my contact details it will just launch my website. Very cool! I have started to incorporate these barcodes into my marketing strategies.
