Wow, how cool! I'm very curious to see the conversion rate it generates!

To measure the conversion rate here will be difficult, as it is text which is decoded offline (good point: it's quick and at no cost for the customer).
With SMS, Phone and mostly URL's you can measure it;)

Hey! Thanks for the post, guys!
Roger- Actually 'cost to consumer' was one of our conversations. We didn't want people to be forced to go online via their mobiles for anything. We really just want people to learn about QR Codes and making it too complicated at this stage is of no use to anyone.

Gia,
Thanks for coming on the blog too:)
And you are absolutely right to do so. To start with QR Code it can make a lot of sense to use text, phone or SMS QR Codes as this is decoded on the phone and produces therefore no cost for the customer.

Kudos to Clear Channel for the QR code implementation. Looks like the work of NeoMedia/Gavitec.

Sean (Streetstylz),
Actually Clear Channel and Neomeida/Gavitec were no part of this, in fact it is a FOX own initiative and a very good one I must say.

It's Gia who deserves all the cudos for this initiative;)
