QR code Marketing
QR code: Quick ReviewWhat is QR code?
A QR Code is a scannable/readable barcode that allows you (course teachers/organizers) to share text, data or a URL of course/event with people. Anyone with a smart phone (Android, iPhone, etc) can simply scan a QR Code on flyer/poster and get details on event on the phone.

Download Just imagine you have a course/event flyer in public place, the reader browses the flyer details and is interested to learn more details on the event by going to a AOL website. QR code is a code on flyer that when reader scans using his/her cell phone, immediately the AOL webpage pops up on cell phone. This way they get to see instant details on the flyer course/event.

Adoption of QR Codes is soon to spread with big brands, major retailers and even the government starting to use QR Codes.

Where will QR code exist? Who will design it?
QR code will be on flyer - designed by AOLmi.org and included in flyer templates. But in the meantime, I have compiled Powerpoint file with ready-made AOL QR codes - you can view/save it by clicking from top right download button.  You can copy the desired QR code(s) from PPT and use it in your marketing/outreach materials.  For example I have codes for Part-1 course details,  Meditation, etc. etc.

What happens when reader scans the QR code on flyer?
The webpage relevant to the event described on flyer will be displayed on cell phone.

How can you scan QR code using cell phone?
QR code reader FREE application(s) are available on Smartphones (Iphone, Android..). All you do is take a picture in the QR code reader application and it will do the magic. It is very easy.

Popular QR Code applications include QR Droid (for Android phones) and Neo Reader (for iPhones).

Which webpage will you display when flyer QR code is scanned by reader?
Initially scan of QR code will display course description page on official AOL website. Part1 course flyers will have QR code that will navigate Smartphones to Part-1 course description page (http://www.artofliving.org/us-en/art-living-part-i-course-art-breathing). I can program unique QR code specific to actual course registration page but will wait till AOL website progresses with global locations getting online registration capabilities. Also there is an ongoing debate of what is valuable url for QR code - The actual Course registration page Or Course description details. The reader scanning flyer on cell phone will mainly use it towards information research as compared to actual registration. Lets see how we get responses, I will have open mind to try out both options in future.

Do you have QR codes for main AOL pages? I would like to download standard AOL QR codes.
