PRESS RELEASE – November 8, 2010 – www.uQR.me has launched the first free social utility designed to share web content out in the real world via a QR.
What’s a QR code?
Strange pixilated squares have been popping up in magazines, outdoor ads and newspapers, but what many people don’t know is that these pixilated squares are called QRs and can graphically reproduce a URL. QRs were once only available to big advertising firms, but now www.uqr.me gives individuals the opportunity to have their own personal QR and manage it which ever way they want, for free.
Check out the uQR.me video to get a better idea of the infinite possibilities available with www.uQR.me:
With uQR.me people can register to get a free personal QR and link it to any photo, video, webpage, Facebook page, Twitter, Flickr, a resume, a “For Sale” sign or anything they desire. uQR.me members have the freedom to print and post their QR anywhere, such as a wall, a tree, a shop window, a t-shirt, a pin, a concert poster, a wine bottle, a business card…literally anywhere. People can “spot” the QR with their cell phones and be automatically directed to that persons or companies online content. This online content could be a video related to what you’re reading, it could be a contest powered by the brand advertised at a bus stop or detailed info about artwork at an exhibition. In short, QR codes link objects in the “real” world to the web, introducing a new dimension to everyday life.
The link to the QR, aka the “QRlink,” can be changed as many times as needed, but the actual QR never changes, which means never having to reprint or repost your QR. The only thing uQR.me members have to do is log onto www.uQR.me and redirect their QR to anything that they want to inform the world of that day. uQR.me offers one FREE QR per user but gives the opportunity of purchasing more QRs via their Business Option.
The Business Option
The business option offers more QRs that are all managed on that individual’s uQR.me page giving any small or big business an easy way to boost its outdoor advertising and get its message heard at a very low cost.
uQR.me is now offering additional free features for the next 5000 members also called “Founder” members.
The “Founders”
The Founders get free stats to see in which region of the world their QR has been spotted, no advertising pop ups and other special features.
- uQR.me has been used to spread music all over the streets. Any artist can
promote their music by printing and posting their QR where it can be spotted by everyone. Those who spot the QR, can automatically hear the song on their cell phone.
- Bloggers have used uQR.me by printing and posting their QR at bus stops or coffee shops.
- Retailers and consultants have linked it to their LinkedIn profile and embedded their QR to their business cards.
- Real Estate businesses have used the Business Option to sell their homes. With over 50 QRs, they can print the QR to the “For Sale” sign. People can “spot” the QR and instantly get a virtual tour of the interior of the home, including all types of information for that home, including cost, other homes available in that area, square footage etc. without the need of the real estate broker.
- Some have printed their QRs in trade exhibition invitations which provided the host with opportunities to monitor the guest list attendees through uQR.me stats.
- Wine distributors are starting to use uQR.me to make their wine stand out from the rest. Wine labels are printed with a QR that is linked to virtual tours of the winery, recipes or a description of the flavor of that wine.
- The possibilities with uQR.me are endless.
