Similar to UPC symbols, these small bite-sized codes can be read with
most Smartphone’s onboard cameras, and acted on by an app on the
phone, or the phone’s own software.
What’s that bar code?
This unique bar code (known as a QR code) lets customers – and
potential customers – instantly learn more about a business, by visiting
a mobile version of the businesses Place Page on any supported phone.
Here’s more on how it works and what you can do with it:
Make sure your phone can scan a QR code with its camera, either with
an application that you download or via software that’s already installed
on your phone.
To find out what application to use for your phone, we recommend doing a Google search for the model of your phone along with “QR reader”. These readers are usually free.
When you see a QR code, use your phone’s application to scan it. You will be instantly redirected to whatever the QR code has been programmed to deliver, a mobile website, video, coupon or any other the many uses.
You could be instantly redirected to a businesses website, where you can:
-
Read reviews to see what other users think about the business
-
Find an offer that the business has posted to their Place Page
-
Star the business to remember to check it out later, or to remember to visit again.
-
Leave a review right after you leave a business.
