New Business Card Trend: Quick Response Codes
July 29, 2010I recently read another article about how business cards are changing due to technology and found that people have started using Quick Response Codes (QR Codes) on their business cards. QR Codes are 2 dimensional codes that can be scanned using smartphone cameras to upload contact info, photos, MP3s and more. If you have a QR Code on your business card, someone with a smartphone can snap a picture of the code and scan it using a free QR Code scanning application such as QR by Grip’d. The QR Code will automatically put your info into their contacts, then you won’t have to worry about your business card getting lost or tossed aside. Your info is already in their phone.
You can see examples of business card with QR Codes as well as other new ideas on updating your business card in this article from Mashable.
