QR Code QR Code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) first designed for the automotive industry. Formerly confined to industrial uses, they have in recent years become common in consumer advertising and packaging, because the dissemination of smartphones "has put a barcode reader in everyone's pocket" for the first time. As a result, the QR code has become a focus of advertising strategy, since it provides quick and effortless access to the brand's website or mobile app.

Incredible Growth According to Google, Australia has the second-highest smart phone penetration in the world. Based on current trends, mobile internet use will surpass desktop use in the next few years. You may have a great website already, but if it isn’t mobile-ready, you stand to lose a large audience. While consumers are readily embracing the mobile revolution (95% of smart phone users have searched for local business), the same can’t be said for businesses (92+% of businesses either don’t have a website or are not mobile friendly)

The Trend is Mobile Have a look up from your mobile screen on your next bus or train journey into work and look at what the majority of passengers are doing, yes that’s right the same as you – eyes fixed on the small screen in their hands. Stop by the mall, or go anywhere near a high school and you’ll encounter the most recent evolution of the human race. Mobile devices are now interwoven into the fabric of our daily lives and people are searching for your business, information, products, sharing content and even talking on them! In case you haven’t been keeping up with the latest stats: mobile is growing like crazy. While analysts have predicted for years that mobile will be “the next big thing,” their prophecies are finally coming true in a very big way.

Mobile First Designing for mobile first not only prepares you for the explosive growth and new opportunities on the mobile internet, it forces you to focus and enables you to innovate in ways you previously couldn’t. Some of the biggest web companies in the world are adopting a mobile first design philosophy as well. Google Chairman Eric Schmidt advises: “The simple guideline is whatever you are doing—do mobile first,” If your website doesn’t look good on a smartphone users will move on to one that does. A mobile website ensures that you – not your competitors – capture visitor attention while you have it.

Customers Take Action According to mobile research, people have more trust and confidence in buying from a handheld device over their desktop computer, likely due to associating desktops with malware and other threats. Nine out of ten customers have taken action as a result of a mobile search, with 77% calling or visiting a business. Mobile searches often have more “intent” than desktop searches.

Direct Customers to your Business Location is especially relevant to mobile users, and smart mobile marketing can increase foot traffic to your store or business. If you have a retail storefront, direct prospective customers to your store with directions and a map.
