The Comeback Kid; QR Codes post: Talks about how QR, short for “quick response”, codes aren’t exactly the newest tech in the business world. They’ve been around for years. (And if you remember their particular usefulness when it came to exchanging BlackBerry Messenger pins, congratulations — you’re officially old.)
But all jokes aside, QR codes have seen a significant resurgence in popularity recently, and they’re one of our top marketing and communication trends for 2023. While in years past, the usefulness of QR codes was limited largely by people’s access to smartphones and the tediousness of having to download specific apps to read them, today’s phones make it as easy as opening your camera.
