Elephant Mobile gives you 30 ideas for effective QR code marketing. I’d like to share a few from the list and add a little commentary of my own.
5. Real estate agents and developers are using QR Codes to let and sell commercial and residential properties by placing them on their signage. The codes connect renters and buyers to videos and more detailed information about a property
Well, this is an easy one since it ties directly in to what we do.
8. Food manufacturers and processors can place codes on their food packages that link to text or video recipes online that can be tried out by purchasers.
To take this idea a step further, have the video say what other ingredients you need for each dish and where to find each item in the store.
10. Vineyards and small brewers can utilize QR Codes to market their brands better, provide interesting info about the wine/beer type, details which retail locations it is available at and accept online orders.
This would be a great way for owners to showcase their vineyards as a tourist attraction as well.
14. One stationary item that gets in the hand of so many customers is a business’ cash receipt, invoice or delivery note. By placing your QR Code on these stationary items you can have a much wider reach for free. Try and make the QR Code enticing such as a QR Code on a cash receipt would entitle the buyer to a discount on his next purchase.
Every business should have a call to action on their invoices for their happy customers to rate them on one of the location/reputation based services like Angie’s List or Google Places.
29. Cake decorators can market themselves to the large number of people who eat their confections at parties and weddings, by making edible QR Codes as part of their cake decoration. Just hope people scan it before they eat it!
It would be interesting to have a QR code on a cake that links to a time lapse video of that cake being made.
