Scan QR Code

Is Your Southern Utah business using QR Codes to increase sales and enhance customer experience?

QR code (QR stands for quick response) is composed of tiny shapes that can be read both horizontally and vertically.

QR codes are those strange-looking shape-filled squares you’ve been seeing lately. They may not look like much, but they are likely the next big thing in marketing and branding for Southern Utah businesses. With a simple
snap of a smartphone, that unassuming graphic sends valuable information instantly to potential
Southern Utah customers, which for some businesses can mean the difference between a sale or a walk-away.

Consumers crave information. They’re devouring online reviews and product descriptions before
even stepping foot in a Southern Utah store.

Smartphone users = Savvy Consumers. Don’t under estimate this!

How can Southern Utah businesses use QR Codes?

The 2D bar codes are currently being used in any number of ways. A qr code can implement complex actions, such as opening a web page, downloading a video or sending a text message. It’s a way of providing instant information, integrating print and multimedia capabilities, capturing data on the spot and otherwise engaging your Southern Utah customers through the use of today’s new mobile technology.

Tech-savvy Southern Utah business men and women are adding QR codes to their business cards so recipients can access their online
business profile.

Southern Utah Realtors are adding codes to their For Sale signs to let potential buyers see interior shots and get more information on the homes for sale.

A Pennsylvania company sells Memory Medallions that put QR codes on tombstones to let loved
ones scan photos, a video and a biography of their departed family member.

The code can scan to a video demonstration on how the products are made or an interview with the artist. Or if you sell
specialty foods, a tag or code can be used to download recipe ideas for that particular item.

Integrate QR codes or tags into your flyers, brochures, catalogs or newsletters. Print is one-dimensional. Today’s customers want their information in multimedia format. Give it to them.

When you implement a 2D bar code marketing program in Southern Utah, keep these practices in mind:

Be sure the scanned information provides added value; don’t make people go to the effort of
downloading a reader and scanning a code just to take them to a general paragraph or two about
your Southern Utah business.

Keep the URLs used to create the QR codes short; use a URL shortener if needed.

Be sure the landing page is optimized for mobile viewing. (Mobile Friendly Website)

Be sure qr codes are placed where WiFi is available, or be sure that your customers have
web-enabled smartphones.

Stop and take a look at everyone around Southern Utah, are they carrying their laptops with them? Well maybe a few of them are, but most of the people you see won’t have a computer with them. Now notice how many Southern Utah residents have a mobile phone, kids included. Probably about everyone you see has a mobile phone with them, and a good majority of them have a smart phone.
Are Southern Utah  Businesses Losing Money by Not having a Mobile Friendly Website?

The answer is pretty obvious, because surfing around websites with a mobile phone on sites that are not mobile friendly is very annoying. The mobile phone user has to constantly scroll back and forth and hit the plus or minus button. So what are a few key factors that make up a mobile friendly website? The first thing that makes a mobile website friendly is speed. If a mobile website doesn’t load in 3 or 4 seconds then Google deems it not mobile friendly. The second mobile friendly website factor is visibility. If anyone from a mobile phone has to hit the plus or minus symbol while surfing a website, then the website isn’t mobile friendly. The third factor and this is a biggie, if your website has flash being used on it, then no person with an Iphone, Ipad or Itouch will be able to see the website. That is not a good thing for Southern Utah businesses because, there are a lot of Iphone and Ipad users out there.
Are There Any Good Custom Mobile Website Designers Located in Southern Utah?

I’m sure there are a few good mobile website designers in Southern Utah, but with the power of the internet and search engines, you don’t have to settle for a Southern Utah mobile website designer if you don’t like what they offer. So what are some of the key factors to consider when looking for a custom mobile website designer? Price is a key factor, but it definitely shouldn’t be your only consideration. Custom mobile websites start in the price range of $300.00 and go up from there. How many pages will the mobile website have? I think a mobile website should have at least 5 pages, but 10 or more is better because you don’t want to put too much information on any one page on a mobile website. Are the mobile website pages and the site itself search engine optimized? Here take a look at this custom mobile website I built Numyz. Look at it from your computer and click on the pages and then look at the browser window and see how the pages are named. Search engines rank pages, so you want your pages named for your local area, and type of business you own. Example: www.doggydaycare.com/ Southern Utah-dog-hotel-contact-us.php. Think about it, your mobile website will contain Southern Utah in all the page names. I also created a sitemap so the search engines know what pages the mobile website contains. Will the mobile website be built on its own domain name or subdomain name or will it be forwarded to a domain name? If someone searches and finds your main website from a mobile phone, will they be redirected to your mobile website? Will your local Southern Utah mobile website designer charge you a fortune monthly for maintenance, and hosting? There are many things to consider about purchasing a custom mobile website, but you will want to get your Southern Utah business mobile friendly as soon as possible.

Now once a person texts the information, they are in the businesses data base and the business can send those customers future offers. It is not highly recommended that a business send out more than a few mobile sms text message offers per month.
