Mobile Marketing tactic help[QR code+Mobile Website]
 
I had this idea this morning and was wondering if my fellow warriors could help me out a little bit and point me into the right direction for this.

What I would like is this:

1)I would like to get a QR code that is scannable by the popular mobile phones
2)This code will open the browser on the phone with a simpel site of the product with a facebook and twitter link (very basic)
3) even better would be if the facebook and twitter phone app's would open when clicking the link.

I have 0.000 experience with QR codes and mobile website. I can build simpel html websites myself

What tools do I need?/Sites must I check out?

And off course this should be for as little money as possible. The product I'm promoting is not a money making product. I'm promoting it for name recognision.

Please help!

Are you going to use QR codes in Holland? because if you do be advised that the general public here don't know about QR codes... You're better of with SMS

Novelty can work very well in marketing efforts. If people in Holland arent familiar with QR Codes then chances are they would stop and look to see what one is.

Grabbing a Persons Attention is the first rule of Marketing.

The codes will be used in holland but I have confidence that it will work to some extend. Again I'm not selling anything. And I'm 95% sure that no one in holland in my target group and probably in other parts of the world is doing what I want to do.

I've seen plenty of businesses in holland use QR codes. I'm still in college and there on almost every flyer. But again it hasn't been done yet in the group I am going to target.

Anyway, so QR codes? How to get them?

SergeLight, an easy way to get QR codes from URLs on your website is to use a URL shortning service like bit.ly. Sign up for an account and shrink a URL. Once you do, visit the "+" page. Along with tracking stats bit.ly also provides a QR code for every link.

There are several QR code generators on the net. Most are free. I like this one.

There are two WSOs that I know of to make mobile sites. One is from WillR, Business in a Box, which is the one I use. If you know HTML then Will's would be do it in your sleep simple. He offers excellent support.

The other is from Quentin. His WSO is here. I haven't used his but I haven't read anything but praise from those who have.
