Default QR Codes
I wrote a post about QR Codes and I was wondering if there are any other VAs incorporating them into their marketing campaigns?

Great post, LaTosha. I'm such a homebody that I don't even have a smart phone. But I do believe QR codes are the MOST amazing invention! Truly a game changer. Thanks for this thoughtful analysis.

I love QR codes. I use them on my brochures, PDFs etc. and I recently purchased a branded 4x4 spare wheel cover which has a QR code on it.

Thanks for the great article LaTosha. I have not yet used the codes for my business but love using them when I am out and about.

Thanks bridiej and Lee! I am a huge fan of them. They especially come in handy in the event when you don't have pen and paper. Just scan them and go. Bridiej, very cool idea with the spare wheel cover. Very creative!

That is a really neat idea--using a QR code for the spare wheel cover. Love it!

The only problem I have with conventional QR Codes is that once they've been printed, that's it. If you use dynamic qr codes then at least you can update the content (video, texts, links etc) anytime you like without having to re-print the Code

Default Re: QR Codes
I want to use QR Code but I do not know a reliable place to generate one, Also I have smart phone but no scanner so I can not test it out. I do not want to add it to my marketing and it does not work. Any suggestions?
