Bryan deserves a big round of applause for his commentary on this topic. I totally agree. 2D barcodes are just a tool. Correctly aligning barcode w/ goals of the campaign and the company's brand promises with the customer experience is critical. A lot of companies fail because they don't pay enough attention to this. It is all about the experience!

In my view getting the QR code app on the phone in a seemless way is half the challenge. Over time I am assuming these will arrive pre-loaded but at the moment its not an easy process. If we want QR codes to become a way of life then having the enabling software available in a user friendly way is critical.
