If it is almost time to order business cards, you should consider adding a QR code.

WHAT IS A QR CODE AND WHAT IT DOES?
Although QR codes appeared in 1994 began to take off recently, with the advent of smartphones and barcode scanning applications. QR Code is a two-dimensional barcode that lets you access various information by simply scanning the code with your mobile phone and the application recognize the information contained by the cod (Wikipedia).

This information can be a link to the company website, the address or GPS coordinates, social networking account ar even all the full contact. The great advantage is that all these information are obtained by simply scanning the QR code without requiring manual typing of these details.

WHY TO ADD QR CODE ON MY BUSINESS CARDS?
Why not? As I said above, the advantages are obvious. Once handed over, the purpose of a business card is that your contacts become the phone book of the business partner. The problem is that often this does not happen because the data have to be entered / typed manually, so takes time and so the operation is “delayed on later”.

Another problem is that usually the cards end up in a folder along with other cards or worse in the washing machine with clothes from that day. Adding a QR code you add interactivity to an ordinary business card and facilitate the save of your contact data by simply scanning the code, takes less than 1 minute.

PRINTING BUSINESS CARDS WITH QR CODE
Printing a QR code business card is done in the same way as with simple business cards. The only difference is that the design should include the QR code.
