Archrival interviewed 534 college students

Archrival interviewed 534 college students
Lesson 1:

QR Codes are not what you call a fad or hip
Lesson 2:

    College students are not an ideal target

Certainly not in Belgium because mobile data is
          horribly expensive for most

Let’s look at some more scanning stats really fast
     now, please make your own conclusions

                   based on a Forrester study, which you can buy here

Recent Success Case
Printed QR Codes in Glamour magazine

       512,339 scans
            resulting in
      50,814 FB likes
Pushed mobile app “Friend & fans”

   FB likes resulted
in exclusive discounts
How to interpret your stats
Scanners are more likely to be your
   fans, they spent a relatively
   considerable effort to scan
Webmetric analogy

Scans = inverse bounce-rate
Don’t just count scans, they are
    nothing more than hits

HITS = how idiots track success
Final Advice
Be nice to the scanner:
- Give at least something practical
- Make it a Fun User Experience
- Give incentives (coupon, secret, sweepstakes, …)
Simple Incentive Illustrated, scan for boobs …
