QR Codes

So let's take a few thing to the next level and step it up a bit.

Everyone now a days seems to have a smart phone or an iPhone. The beauty of that is that most of them can read those QR codes (quick read). You know the those bar code like box that sort of looks like static on an old TV. They are starting to pop up every where.

If you go hunting a little bit online you can find a few different places that will give them to you for free. What you can do with them is great. Link one to your web site, a blog page, a blog or what ever you want. Its a great way to get extra people seeing your band page and hearing your music.

Why? Well on all your posters, hand bills, stickers or what ever you want you have an instant link to your music. Think about how much more information someone can get about your band from a show poster.

This one Is the one I am using right now. I went to a free site and linked it to a  bunch of my pages. I'm using www.itsmyurls.com and it helps direct people to my many websites.
I like it because it is set up for Mobile devices and is very quick and simple to set up, plus I can add sites and links at any time I want.
The best places I can think of to start using your QR code to help promote your music are:
  • Poster
  • Handbills/fliers
  • Stickers
  • Print ads
  • And full size on a T-shirt
It is a free andit helps direct people off line to your on line promotions.

The only question to you is where else and how else could you use one?
Share you ideas and successfull placements on how you are using a QR code to promote your band.

Keep on Rockin!
Cheers!
