Mobile marketing is the single greatest opportunity to reach new and existing customers.
The best way to link your print advertising to your mobile presence is the QR code.

What are QR Codes?QR = Quick Response
QR Code: A type of printed 2D barcode that can be scanned by any smartphone or mobile device with a camera and internet connection. From Japan: Invented by Denso-Wave in 1994, QR codes were originally used to track inventory in a Toyota auto plant. Denso-Wave does not exercise the patent, so the codes have proliferated into the open market as a tool to open many mobile doors.
Efficient: QR codes eliminate the need for remembering or typing in web addresses. Users just scan the code with their mobile device and are instantly delivered web-based content.
A Launch Pad: QR codes take a consumer to the next level of brand engagement through various routes - launching social media, auto-dialing a number, starting an email, opening a video or shopping page, etc.

Advantages of LynkSnap QR codes.
8
Because QR codes were originally designed for a manufacturing plant, where they could get dirty or torn,
the codes have a built-in 30% redundancy of pixels.
Because of their pixel redundancy, QR codes can be customized.
LynkSnap specializes in the strategic branding, customizing and iconizing of QR codes.
