As pull technologies, QR codes have considerable potential to supplant text-based mobile marketing communications and help organisations to overcome consumers’ negative attitudes to wards mobile marketing communications. The findings from the research into QR code awareness and acceptance drivers suggest that con-sumers respond more positively towards QR code marketing thanthey do towards SMS marketing approaches, because they feelmore in control. The primary use of QR codes is to access informa-tion on mobile websites, but there is some evidence that consumersare also using QR codes to access games, discount vouchers, com-petitions and other advertising. Most QR code accesses are in thestreet or at home, and consistent with this the two most scannedmedia are magazines, and outdoor adverts or posters. QR code usersare relatively positive about continued use, but value ease of use,information/content and discounts; certainly users are motivatedby the benefits that they perceive scanning a QR code to deliver.Non-users agreed on the value of information, content and incen-tives, but faced barriers arising from older technology, and lack offamiliarity with QR codes and their potential benefits.
