Not all QR codes are equal
Maybe not all QR codes are created equal - or maybe we're just partial - but there really are some distinct advantages to pbSmart Codes. Other "free" QR code software may limit you to creating a QR code linked to your website. With pbSmart Codes, you can create a QR code, design a custom mobile web page and track the results. Generating just a QR code restricts what you can do with your marketing, and what customers see on their smartphone.Some limitations may include:
- Slowness - without a mobile-formatted web page, information may load slowly
- Unformatted text - standard websites may be difficult to read
- Inconvenient - updating or changing a promotion requires continual website revisions - not so easy
for many people - Limited functionality - inability to offer coupons, collect email addresses or use advanced interactive marketing tactics
- Inability to measure results - tracking scans and clicks may require advanced programming
