NearBuy Marketing Triggers; Scan It, Snap It, Check In
QR codes have been popping up everywhere, in magazines, on packaging and in stores, many now involving a one-tap purchase. It’s not about the trigger but about the engagement that it leads to. What are the best ways for sellers to engage via the scan or snap? What are the best uses for QR codes, SMS and MMS to engage for commerce? Can consumer decisions be swayed and what are the upselling opportunities? What insights can be gleaned by analyzing the data from these scanning and SMS activities? And what would cause barcode scanning to reach critical mass?
