Why 2-D barcoding?
Make offline media Actionable:
If you wish to get better multimedia content, better returns on investments through
offline media, especially print media QR Codes (most widely used 2D barcodes) are
a fantastic way of doing it. QR Codes make traditional media actionable, , effective,
measurable and attractive.
It’s a Pull service:
Consumers maintain control over when and where they associate with marketers. “User
pull” (rather than the advertiser’s push) enables consumers to obtain the information
sought after. Users benefit from convenient and timely interaction hence getting
the most customized and pin point information.
Very simple to use:
It’s very easy to use a camera-phone. There’s no need of typing URL’s to reach out
videos, product demos, trailers or any multimedia content. They have the ‘’happy
flicking’’ advantage.
Static code and Dynamic content:
No recurring expenses on offline promotions from time to time. The codes are static
but the content is dynamic. Code Publishers can seamlessly refresh a campaign in
response to dynamic market conditions with an ease of a click.
Direct to consumers:
Get more meaningful engagements than any other marketing channel. Consumers can
have a richer experience by interacting directly with the Code Publisher. It’s easy
to create virals, reach masses and generate leads.
Broader Reach:
Marketers can reach the large number of mobile users who are increasing exponentially.
With the evident growth of wireless internet in India and chipping in of high speed
internet services like 3-G, a campaign can be launched more quickly on a broad range
of handsets and service providers.
Reliability:
The code experience can dynamically be changed based on the Code Publisher’s needs.
This offers more control and assurances for the marketer. 2D barcode content guidelines
provide another layer of filtering that ensures the right messages get out.
The opportunities are endless:

embedding multiple functionalities is a single campaign is possible. Get the social
media advantage to your campaigns.
