Feature Presentation: QR Codes

Quick Response Codes (QR Codes) are two-dimensional barcodes that are readable by barcode readers and mobile devices. Typically, these codes are arranged in a black and white boxed square pattern, but can also be customized with images or logos. These codes may contain information ranging from text to URL's.  QR Codes are quickly gaining ground in our market: from billboard ads to business cards, magazines to brochures---QR Codes are marketing gold. The reason they are so desirable from a marketing standpoint: these codes provide measurable response rates with high accuracy (as you can track each time the URL or link is “hit”, if you create a 'QR Code' specific page to your website), which creates easier calculation on ROI—ending in a better approximation on marketing budgets.  Other points that make QR Codes a great marketing strategy:


*The same code may be printed again and again.


*QR Codes are inexpensive to create, and free to read (the QR Code reader apps are numerous and free to download on most devices)

*They can be used in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors—making them graphically appealing as well as an innovative way to take your customers exactly where you want them to go!

If you are interested in learning more about QR Codes, or would like to get started in using one in your latest marketing or print campaigns, call or email us today! TWG is working harder for your business.

From Our Desk to Yours...Mobile Sites

Please join us in celebrating the launch of our TWG mobile website!  Now, you can check us out on-the-go!  Not only do we have a mobile website, but many of our clients do, as well.  Mobile websites are an excellent method to be available to your consumers, even when their computer is not.


Many people don’t realize the difference in download time and view-ability between a standard website and a mobile website for smart phones—trust that the difference is vast!  So much so, in fact, that if your competitor has a mobile website, and you do not—a potential consumer may choose them over you—simply because the mobile site comes up quicker, and is easier to view than your standard website that is much too large for the viewing window of a mobile device.


Enhancing your online presence means taking a good hard look at where you stand with your on-the-go presence, too.  Check out our mobile site, and use it to determine what a huge benefit one could be for your business:  www.thewebguys.comCall us today, to inquire on setting up your very own mobile site, and QR code for your mobile site, to get the most out of your brand.
