      I Have a client who is interested in qr codes. Not by my suggestion. I haven't heard much about them lately and was wonder if anyone thinks its worth the time.

      If you think they are, then where is "the" place to get them at a reasonable cost?

        Hi Nathan,

        Not sure what you mean by the "place to get them at a reasonable cost"? there are plenty online QR code generators where you can create as many as you like for free.

        In regards to your question there is no one-size fits all answer as to if it "worth the time". It depends the product, the market and how creative you are.

        For example I have see QR codes on the train stations that have been very useful for train delays etc and have seen some random ones on building roofs which I am sure the only reason I notice them is because I am an on-line marketer, otherwise I would have probably just passed.

        Hope this helps!

          Hi Nathan,

          Some sites below where you can generate QR codes:

          UQR

          QR Stuff

          Tiny QR

          TRAKQR

          QR codes are very helpful for tracking all kinds of offline print advertising. (Magazines, Newspapers, post cards, mailouts etc)

            I agree with Yiannis.

            Just use a free online qr code creator, copy, and paste it into your design.  It does not take much effort, time, or money.

                Hi Diegopp, it looks like you might have a relation to this service you're promoting. If you do have a relation, could you please disclose the relation? Thanks!

                Also, it looks like this post was an abstract of http://www.cnet.com/news/qr-codes-arent-useless-after-all-nielsen-study-says/, where the original posters might want to go to find more information.
