QR Codes storing addresses, websites (URL's) and other related contact information appear in magazines, on signs, on buses, on business cards, or on almost any object (now including many promotional gifts at Go Promotional) about which users might need information. Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct QR Reading application (nearly all mobile phones in 2011 have this ability) can scan the image of the QR Code to display text, contact information, connect to a wireless network, or open a web page in the smart phone's browser. This act of linking from physical world objects is termed hard linking or object hyperlinking. QR Codes may also be linked to a location to track where a code has been scanned. Either the application that scans the QR Code retrieves the geo information by using GPS and cell tower triangulation (aGPS) or the URL encoded in the QR Code itself is associated with a location.

You do not need to have a QR code to have them printed on your promotional gifts. Go Promotional has the ability to create you, your very own company QR code free of charge, with the purchase of any of our promotional gifts that are labeled as "QR Friendly".
