Joan Muschamp (Fagnani) replied to the forum topic QR Code Fails in the club Small Business @gabriel your advice is spot on--I don't want to use a QR code just to get to a website. I want you to give me something "extra" --more and better info, a coupon, a recipe...Do NOT bore me.

Gabriel Marinescu replied to the forum topic QR Code Fails in the club Small Business @jeniferswanson I think many of us scanned a code out of curiosity. But those days are over (or will soon be). QR codes (even if, as @fredericgonzalo said, have been around since 1994) were still a novelty for the […]

Gabriel Marinescu replied to the forum topic QR Code Fails in the club Small Business @fredericgonzalo Great examples (of misuse)!

Gabriel Marinescu replied to the forum topic QR Code Fails in the club Small Business @roryramsden I have seen so many cases where people use them wrong. It is true we can say they are (kind of) new and many people don't know how to use them. It is a shame, as QR codes can add a lot to the marketing efforts.
