A recent blog post implied that there is a great debate around QR codes, asking whether they were “in or out”.
This reminds us of a well-known quote from one of Europe’s most successful soccer coaches: “If you’re in the penalty area and don’t know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we’ll discuss the options later.”
This is very similar to how small businesses are approaching QR codes, forging ahead with QR marketing programs, scoring a lot of goals in the process – and saving any discussion for later!
To back up the point, the same blog goes on to point out the multitudes of business categories that are succeeding with QR codes: from fashion to real estate.
We have covered QR codes many times, and if you are looking for more information on the business results that QR codes can drive for small business, there is no shortage of QR codes resources to help.
