QR Codes Can Make You Money
Unless you've been living on another planet these past few years you're familiar with QR Codes. Their frequency of use is increasing daily and we're getting lots of questions about how you can use them in your marketing.
QR (Quick Response) Codes are satisfying our need for instant information. Imagine . . .
