QR Codes

The Latest Thing In Marketing

Note: Because of Easter Sunday, there are no open houses.

A QR code is a square bar code, made up of small black and white blocks instead of lines, that contains an internet address. QR is short for quick response, and quick in this case, means almost instantaneous. People with smart phones can snap an image of a QR code printed on a product or a label and be immediately connected to a website with more information.

Restaurants in some areas are placing the codes on menus, to take customers to a photo of the menu item, or a video of the dish being created.
