Hosts can share their network and password details with the quick scan of a barcode.
Among the most commonly requested pieces of information from hosts by their guests is the network name and password so that they can access the wireless internet, and QR codes have now been discovered as an ideal solution to this request in one simple scan.
A new mobile trend has arrived, in which hosts have been framing the barcodes and hanging them.
These unique QR codes have been pre-designed in order to allow party and house guests to be able to simply scan them in order to gain access to the wireless internet in the home. This is proving to be both convenient and practical in today’s society where people feel the need to be connected at every moment.
These QR codes are hung in frames that can be scanned by guests so that they can obtain the data they need.
The trick to taking advantage of these QR codes at a party is to hang them prominently in one of the main areas of the home, and to display them in spaces where guests have a tendency of stepping aside in order to check something online or reply to their emails. Before this option, guests were required to ask their hosts for the login information; a process that could be rather frustrating.
As today’s network passwords need to be rather complex, they are often combinations of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols, and they may or may not use any recognizable words. This can make the exchange of the information rather time consuming and impractical. However, when all it takes is a scan of QR codes, it simplifies the process immediately.
This trend was started by a single person, who posted their successes online. It caught on quickly over the holiday season until it became much more common to see them at the Christmas and New Year celebrations and other parties that were happening at that time of year. It didn’t take long for smartphone users to catch on and start scanning the QR codes to receive the connection they needed.
Qriket believes money is a good incentive for scans
QR codes are showing up everywhere. After years or hype, these barcodes have come to dominate mobile marketing and have enabled businesses to stay engaged with consumers. While the codes continue to grow in popularity, they are still in danger of being replaced by new, more dynamic technologies, like NFC and augmented reality. One way to ensure that QR codes remain on top, in terms of mobile marketing, is to provide consumers with an incentive to scan them. Qriket believes that money is the best incentive in this endeavor.
App turns scanning QR codes into money-making game
Qriket is a relatively new startup that has an intense focus on QR codes and offering rewards to consumers. The company, which produced a mobile application by the same name, has a lot of faith in QR codes, believing them to be powerful marketing tools. The application incarnation of Qriket is billed as a mobile game that is able to close the gap between the physical and digital worlds and will provide users with a chance to win real money each time they use the application to scan a QR code.
QR code traction could be boosted with powerful inventive
The money doesn’t come from Qriket itself. Rather, these funds come from companies that are interested in using QR codes as a marketing device. Consumers have a chance to win a percentage of the funds that these companies pay to have their codes available through the application. The concept is simple, and that simplicity has translated into steadily growing popularity. Qriket has found a way to ensure that consumers scan the QR codes they encounter in the real world, thereby also ensuring their participation in the marketing campaigns coming from companies using these codes.
Consumers still concerned over the safety and viability of QR codes
Though QR codes ate popular amongst advertisers, this is not always the case with consumers. Some have complained that the codes are simply not engaging enough, while others have their own concerns regarding mobile security. Qriket may be able to placate these concerns and help QR codes gain the traction they need amongst mobile consumers.
