I bet if someone had the motivation they could build a Obnoxiously Huge QR Code, like a billboard but bigger and rent it to a business in the town off the highway?

Anyone ever seen this done?

  • paint them on rooftops and let google satellite pick them up eventually.

    • Have a friend who builds them out of rubik's cube pieces and sells them to children related niches like toy stores and daycare centers along with a mobile site of course.
    • I've seen them on several full-sized billboards. In fact, one of those billboards not far from where I live is located only about 50 yards on the other side of a blind curve, where the speed limit is 55mph. Pretty dumb move for the business that put a QR code on that one, as you literally only have about 2-3 seconds between the time you see the billboard and the time you drive past it. Doh!

    • You do know all you urbanites out there you could project a qr code onto any non-residential building after hours with a high lum projector, probably could sell that as a promotion or promote your own services.

    • Sorry - I missed this. I wrote QR Code Mastery and included a photo from Mission Hills in which they stuffed red and white umbrellas into the hands of golf event participants and lined them up into a huge QR Code on a fairway.

      I, too, speculated on whether some developer would build a community in the shape of a QR Code you could read from space.

      Now that people have sent up mobile phone satellites, who knows what crazy stuff marketers will come up with?
  • I got into a discussion here about QR codes a year ago. I said they are useless. I still feel that way. I know people who want to put them on everything.

    I hosted a large event with several hundred people a few months ago. Another organizer wanted QR codes all over the place to enter into a free small class that lasted 6 weeks. This was a highly specialized mentoring class that was very relevant to these mostly high-tech startups. Not even ONE person used the QR codes to sign up.

    I remain fully skeptical. They just are not practical at all.
