Are you using QR tags for your marketing? You know, the QR codes that smartphones can scan by taking a photo and then the phone goes to a website or business card or phone number?
Now is the time to learn about marketing your business, product or service with these tags.
It’s easy to make the tag code:
- AT&T has launched a mobile QR code maker called Create-a-Code
- You can create a tag for your email, location, website, phone number or calendar event
- And few weeks ago I wrote about Microsoft site for creating tags. I like Microsoft’s because it’s colorful.
How do you market or distribute the tags?
After you have your code, there’s lots of ways to distribute it.
I see codes in the Sunday FSI ads in the newspapers and on some websites.
I predict that soon we’ll see them on T-shirts, mugs and baseball hats.
Maybe you’ve already seen them in use.
Getting a QR code or tag reader for your phone:
Use your smart phone to visit one of these sites to download a tag scanner onto your phone:
Download the AT&T Code Scanner or download the Microscoft code scanner reader

Chris, thanks for the info on tags for QR codes generated on photos taken on smartphones. I did not know about these tags and how they could benefit a business. Appreciate your informative post about this topic.
Nice post… As predicted, QR Codes are already appearing on clothing ~ http://www.QRazystuff.com, which we launched last month! We also offer QR Tags, which differ from standard QR Codes, in that you can update the content whenever you want – same image/code, just update the URL or messages behind the Tag.
great post.. readworthy article .. thanks for sharing ..
QR tags are wonderful but you still need to expose than to everyone. A great platform for that is the new website “who can i hire dot com” (one word) which is a platform for small business to market themselves (QR tags) through social media potentially reaching thousands of customers.
Hi Rick:
Thanks for your comment. I changed the URL you embedding into your comment, because it was feeling a lot more like you were working on getting back links than actually providing a real comment. If my readers really feel like using your site, they can type the URL into their browser.
