Does anyone use QR codes?

Have you utilized Quick Response codes in your traditional advertisement mix? Have they increased customer engagement?

@VladGorenshteyn not as much engagement as you'd think. Adoption is a major issue. We've done both QR and MSN. People mostly use shortcodes.

They are increasing customer engagement IF there is a call to action. Just plopping a QR code in an advertisement is not so effective. Here is a relevant blog on this matter.
