When I have a product, I’ll be all over the QR code movement (click on the link if you don’t know what a QR code is). Basically, it’s a barcode that smartphones can read – they can resolve to websites or add contact information.

Here’s a few QR code uses that I’d like to see:

• QR codes on the backs of book covers with a link to a video intro from the author.
• QR codes at the Denver Museum to get more information on my favorite pieces of art.
• A QR code on my favorite soda to show me nutrition information comparisons.
• A QR code on a shirt at Kohl’s, which takes me to a display of a complete outfit involving that shirt.
• A QR code scavenger-hunt to find the best sightseeing spots in a city I’ve never been to before.

In fact, I don’t know why food bloggers, fashion bloggers, art bloggers, and travel bloggers aren’t printing out a bunch of QR codes for their blog posts and sticking ‘em to the backs of menus, on outfits, on art displays, and on city guides.

Do you?

My talk at the very first Ignite Fort Collins ever was about social media marketing and how to market yourself or your business the right way with social media!  Here are the videos of the other presenters.  I look forward to participating, somehow, in Ignite Fort Collins #2 in August.

Here are the slides, as posted on my Slideshare page:
