What is a QR Code?
If you've seen these odd bardcodes on some of our ads and not sure of what they are or what to do with them, then read on! QR "Quick Response" Codes are readable barcodes for smartphones. They are designed to access information directly on your mobile device, such as a website or visual tour, so you can have the information you need while you're on-the-go.
While QR Codes have been around for over a decade, they are gaining popularity in the U.S. and you will most likely see more of them on everyday products. In order for you to use these barcodes you must have a reader application installed on your mobile device. You may use one of the programs below, or simply go to this website and find a progam that works with your phone.
