You are on-target. We see more interest in QR codes every day. Businesses around the world, both B2B and B2C, are using them to help drive customers to their mobile sites. The technology is still in its infancy. Use will continue to grow rapidly. Here's our take on the ScanLife report: Dramatic Growth in Scans Makes Compelling Case for QR Codes in Print Catalogs http://www.catalog-on-demand.com/blog/2013/10/dramatic-growth-scans-makes-compelling-case-qr-codes-print-catalogs/

Excellent examples, thanks for sharing. Glad to see that the news about the death of QR codes may be premature.

It's a breath of fresh air to hear that QR codes are making a difference - and still alive! I've read quite a few articles saying that QR codes are "dead" and always felt those statements weren't fully informed. QR codes can be very effective as long as it connects the scanner to valuable/interesting content. I've seen more of our customers incorporate QR codes onto their labels to engage with consumers beyond the grocery aisle. Great article, thanks for sharing!

QR Codes may be dead in the sense that they don't seem to get as much press, attention, etc these days. Yet their usage statistics continue to grow! All part of the product life cycle I suppose. Great article and great comments.
