Whether you know it or not, most of you have probably seen a QR code. You’ll find the unique black and white square modules, like the one seen above, pasted inside business doors, on websites, and even on business cards. It seems that QR (quick response) codes have begun to pop up everywhere.

But what exactly are QR codes? And should they have a place in your chiropractor marketing?

QR Codes were created in Japan in the mid 1990′s as a tool to track vehicles during production. The codes can store large amounts of information in a small space. Because of this, their usage quickly expanded. Now the codes are used for everything from to entertainment ticketing, marketing, and product labeling.

Apps for scanning QR codes are readily available for almost all smart phones. When scanned by smart phone cameras, the code will automatically display text, URLs, photos and videos.

It’s pretty easy to see that QR codes have the potential to help businesses communicate information quickly and easily.

Although still unfamiliar to most people, (according to Lab42.com, only 40% of those polled said they knew what a QR code was) their popularity is growing.

The survey takers said they scanned the QR codes for a variety of reasons.

3. 43% out of curiosity
