QR Codes – What are they?
A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) was originally created for the motor industry in Japan in 1994 to track vehicles during the manufacturing process. Now they play an important role as a marketing tool that can add interactivity to virtually anything, which then can be turned into advertising space. Using your mobile device that can download a QR reader you can scan the code and be taken to a webpage, dial a telephone number, read a text message or download a vCard.
Did you know we can create customised QR codes personalised to match your brand?
We bet you didn’t! QR codes are generated in plain black and white. You can even create a plain one yourself using a free code generator. But it doesn’t show that you are ahead of the crowd. Make your campaign stand out with an eye-catching QR code created by A3.. We can incorporate your logo into the design and change the colour of the code to match or compliment your logo. For even more customisation we can overlay graphics on the code, altering it’s appearance. Custom QR codes show you are one step ahead of technology, match your brand identity and bring engagement and interactivity to your print.
We offer a fast turnaround and will supply the final code in various formats. All you need to supply us with is your brief, logo and url. If you require any tracking and reporting on your code please get in touch.
Simply scan the code on the right or call us on 01252 737222 or Email for a quote.
