<\/p>\nQR codes were invented in the mid-1990s by Masahir Hara. They\u2019ve become more and more popular ever since. They\u2019re very similar in concept to a product bar code. They can contain a lot of information.<\/p>\n
Manufacturers, such as automobile companies, use QR codes to help them track parts and stock.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve become more common in all sorts of advertising and marketing. It\u2019s a very quick way to bring someone to a particular website and web page.<\/p>\n
Restaurants use it so they can show specials without having to reprint their menus.<\/p>\n
Stores use it to show coupons or special deals.<\/p>\n
A company that sells a small product (like a tube of lipstick) might use it to give its customer the full list of ingredients.<\/p>\n
A manufacturer with a complicated product might use one to get customers to a \u201cHow to Get Started\u201d video.<\/p>\n
QR Codes are very versatile.<\/p>\n
A person with a smartphone (any phone with a camera that also connects to the internet), just takes a picture of the QR code, and voila! The website appears on the phone. It\u2019s very fast and much more accurate than manually typing in the url\/website address.<\/p>\n
For newer phones, that\u2019s all you need to do.<\/p>\n
For older phones, you might need to download an app. Usually taking the picture will prompt the phone to ask if you want it to download a \u201cQR Reader\u201d.<\/p>\n
We provide a unique QR code for every fundraiser. It\u2019s a great way to get folks quickly and accurately to their friend\u2019s or relative\u2019s fundraising page.<\/p>\n

As safe as the company providing them. Like any webpage or link on the internet, you never want to click on\/activate ones you don\u2019t trust.<\/p>\n
