NEW YORK – With the rise of new technology, business owners and companies have new, creative ways to market their products.

One of the most popular new ways to connect with customers and get them to one’s site is through QR Codes.

Quick Response codes are images placed on business cards, signs, and other items that are readable to smart phones and similar devices. By scanning the code, a user is able to be taken directly to a website or sales page where they can take action. The technology was first put to use in the Japanese auto industry, but it has quickly evolved into an essential marketing strategy.

QR Code Home helps business owners and companies take advantage of this new technology by designing a wide variety of items that feature these scanning the code. They include Booklets, Banners, Flyers and more. They have provided services for the likes of Boost Mobile, The Weather Channel, and more.

“I first met Travis (the owner) during a networking event. One day I realized we would need to hire a printer at four o’clock on a Friday afternoon. Helpful, willing, and able, Travis was at our service with an affordable quote. We sent him the documents via email and he was able to have our programs printed and assembled (not to mention, delivered) the next day,” enthused Mike Rose of Goodyear Tires.

Added Debbie Oakes from Sea Bright Solar, Inc., “QR Code Home provides all our print, advertising, and marketing campaigns. The staff works with us as business consultants rather than just as printers. They go above and beyond, taking time to discuss specific needs and then proposing a marketing plan to meet those needs.”

Taking pride in giving their customers the best possible service, QR Code Home offers 24/7 customer service. They take it a step further by giving clients their personal cell phone numbers so they can offer the best advice at any time of the day. The company also offers unlimited website editing, so one can update and modify their site as often as necessary.

An innovative new solution has been developed to add security to parked bicycles.

A new security system based on QR codes for bikes being parked on campus has been developed by a team of three students who call themselves the Beta Adroits.

The group had frequently heard of problems with bikes that were being stolen and sought new on-campus security.

What they accomplished was a system of QR codes that can help to provide added security to bicycles that are being parked on campus. One of the Beta Adroits members, Arun Balaji, explained that “There were a number of cases in our college where our college mates had their bikes stolen.” He added that “It was during the same period we were also extensively exposed to the brand new smartphone technology and found out how it could be used to scan QR codes.”

The group then realized that there was a very practical use for QR codes in solving the problem of stolen bikes.

Balaji said that the quick response codes could be affixed to the bicycles so that they can be scanned with smartphones or even with webcams.

The entire Beta Adroits group is made up of Sona College of Technology students who are seeking Computer Applications degrees. These students from Salem, Tamil Nadu are already 75 percent of the way through completing their source code and are nearly ready for implementing this new QRcode security system on their college campus.

The students and professors, alike, have been very receptive to the idea and are looking forward to seeing the system when it is put into place. The goal is to test it on their own campus and then introduce it to other schools throughout Chennai when it is found to work.

The group feels that if their system is, indeed, successful, then these QR codes could be used as an effective bicycle theft deterrent on college campuses. However, they also feel that there are a number of other useful applications, as well. They are hoping that this would make it easier to screen vehicles in offices, housing complexes, and large parking lots
