Custom QR Codes

I will be opening a service under the warrior for hire section in the next couple of days. Were putting the final touches on a few things.

The cost will be $97 per branded QR Code. I will need an image and I will embed the image onto an "editable" QR Code. Editable in the sense that you can change the purpose of the code at your convenience. Example, today you use it to go to a cpa offer, tomorrow you want it to display a coupon...

Just like anything else on the internet your QR Codes have to be hosted. The generators are around to provide you a teaser, and soft sell on the value of the service. With our codes, we add the appropriate text, or url redirect, and host this information on our servers. At any time your information on the code can be edited.... This is unique for our services....

We are within the 30 day window being able to create portals were our clients can manage their codes.

I'm currently offering review copies at $67.

You will receive a branded QR Code, in PDF format, directed to the url, or displaying the information of your choice.

Thanks

  • There already are quite a few online sources that do the same thing now. How would your service be different? Google "qr code generator"

    • Simple...

      I would take your logo or existing images and embed it into a QR Code. While the generators produce a simple 2d bar code w/o any images.

      My thought process is to be able to provide a fully functional QR Code customized, that properly represents your brand.

  • How much would it cost you to make one, I ask because if it is very little capital outlay then try it open a WSO on the forum even. I think it is a great idea. I have another Idea with Qr codes that I am going to try so go for it.

    They look really cool with a custom logo.
  • Thanks for the PM's. Here are a couple quick samples....

    • They look neat, but they don't work. And isn't that the point of a qr code? (I have a blackberry)

  • i thought QR codes were a digitized graphical representation of a URL. this is just based on me having generated them by using the javascript library at http://www.tag.cx/qr-codes/tag-cx-qrcode.js and calling the generateQRCODE() function with a URL. other than that my knowledge of them is fairly limited.

    but if that's how these QR codes work, how does a customized QR code maintain the same URL? or do you somehow submit a graphic along with a URL to some QR code repository, instead of have the graphic generated in response to a URL submission?

    • QR Codes can be created to display a variety of things.
      • text messages
      • urls
      • phone numbers
      • contact information
      • maps...
      Once a QR Code is created it is assigned a task. Once the end user scans the code the code completes its task. I think your getting the word "custom" confused.

      You ever scene how photographers take a photo of a couple behind a green screen, and it instantly shows the couple in Paris, or some other place? Well the QR Code is the backdrop, and the couple represents the logo....
  • There are alot of services available for cheap and even free online... however, your market is "offline".

    In the "offline" world you can sell a package of 1000 backlinks for $1000 if you want to.

    Just because people are savvy online of the various resources... well, put it this way; classically here's why a plumber gets paid 70 bucks per hour "because they know how and you dont".

    I think that says what Im trying to say.
  • Interesting! My domains would work well with this:

    CustomizedQRCodes.com

  • Thoughts? This will be the build for the service.... Take a peep at the QR code and let's talk....

  • ESPN used QR codes in their magazine, just saw it. Looked pretty cool.
  • I think as these take off then this will be a great service.

  • So all of my current clients are in line waiting for custom QR Codes. Here's one just completed for RE/MAX. My offline clients are really starting to love these!

  • Genius Idea: QR codes have been all the rage this year for big brands, and now ordinary consumers and small businesses can get in on the fun, too. JumpScan lets users create customized QR codes that combine all your contact information, including social media profiles, for on-the-go sharing.

    Think of it as a QR-powered iteration of Flavors.me or About.me especially intended for mobile phones.

    It’s also a lot like a next-gen version of Contxts and similar services, but it uses your phone’s camera instead of SMS for a smoother experience with fewer actions between meeting and contacting a person.

    As a user, when you sign up for a JumpScan account, you’ll get to create a mobile landing page by entering your contact information. You can add your e-mail address, phone number, Facebook profile, Twitter and Flickr feeds and more.

    Once you generate your own code, anyone with a smartphone can snap a picture of the image to be automatically redirected to your own JumpScan page.
  • Shame the remax site is not mobile compliant. What are the rules about graphics in a QR Code?

    Q

    • Quentin, that's the great part about this service. My real estate clients are killing each other trying to get access to these custom codes. So I deliver there codes and forward them to their website. So their clients are scanning their codesand then complaining that they have a hard time interacting with the website. So then my office phone rings with cheap ol' realtor asking me to upgrade their sites.

      In most cases if I have a client on the hook these codes are making the close for me. They talk themselves into it. These custom codes are in demand in Maryland because there new here. It reminds me of being in high school and the new jordans arrive at the store. I'm telling you qr codes is where the offline world needs to be paying attention too.

      Rules: I'm not aware of any so long as the code can be read. I take the code and increase the default error from 30% to 50% then layer the graphics and modify the colors. Testing is key. I have all the big name readers downloaded on the major smart phones. Then scan away.

  • For anyone that wants to try these qr codes but doesn't have a smartphone there is a great piece of freeware software (for windows) that works with a webcam. bcWebCam - FREEWARE : Barcode Reading with WebCam

    • The challenge is getting the customized QR code images to still work via barcode scanner. There are so many things you can do with the scanned bit.

  • People need to be focused on making money NOW.
    It's marketing 101 - You don't sell them what YOU think they need.
    You sell them what they ALREADY want.

    There are many examples of "the next big thing" that never got off the ground.

    FOCUS on what people WANT NOW!

    • So are you saying that SMB's aren't interested in QR Codes?
      • [1] reply
    • If you look on Google Trends I think you will see it is what they want but they need to have a little bit of education.

      I take in a QR Code and My mobile phone and it is a 5 min sell then pick up their site to mobilize or upgrade.

  • Well car sales and real estate can benefit as you would create a page for each listing to provide more information especially if there is no sales people present then just link to that page with your QR Code. Here is a great video.

    • Thanks for this information. I am really interested in knowing about qr codes and how they can be used. So it would be good for, as you said, car sales and real estate. Interesting. Very interesting.
  • I am just building this site at the moment but I have 9 videos on different uses.

  • Your $97 USD QR code is that in high resolution ? like 3000x3000 ? Secondly how do you "change" it that one day it points to a website and next day to a coupon ? As far as I know QR codes are static and once you generate them you cant change the action anymore apart from replace it with a new one. Am I a behind ?
