You may have recently noticed these small ‘cryptic’ boxes appearing on many items that you buy?
QR codes are quickly becoming the quick and easy way to use your ‘smart phone’ to connect to a web site or obtain additional information.
Well, these QR Codes are showing up everywhere . . . on price tags, on in-store displays, signs, and now on PacMail coupons.
On the outside of every one of the 1.2 MILLION PacMail envelopes mailed annually, you’ll notice it will promote the ‘Boost’ web site and QR codes.
And on the inside, most of the coupons will now contain QR Codes* as well.
On that page, you’ll find your coupon, a map to that merchant’s business, and other useful information about that merchant.
This additional information will also tell you why that seller is special . . . and why you should go out of your way to patronize them.
And on the ‘Boost’ web site, you’ll find ‘ADDITIONAL OFFERS’ as well!
To redeem a coupon, you may either use
1) your PacMail paper ORIGINAL, 2) a copy PRINTED from the Boost web site, or 3) simply DISPLAY the www version of it on your ‘smart’ phone at the time of your use.
And the Boost ‘virtual’ coupon is just as valid as a printed one.
Now how’s that for ‘easy to use’!
By using your ‘smart’ phone’s QR reader to read the QR Code, you will quickly jump to the ‘Boost’ web page of that particular coupon.
A QR Code can link you to a www page or display up to 250 characters of text.
It originated in Japan in 1994 and has widespread use there on everything from grocery items and clothing . . . to electronics and books . . .
