What is a QR Code?
A QR Code is a two-dimensional bar code created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The "QR" is derived from "Quick Response", as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.

How do I read a QR Code?
If you have a smartphone, go to the app store and search for a QR code reader. You’ll find several free apps. We like the AT&T QR Code Reader. Run the app and then hold your phone’s camera over a code to read it. Most codes you’ll come across have a URL encoded, so chances are when you read the QR code it will take you to a web page. These codes link offline information to online content. A QR code can be printed on packaging, magazines, and promotional items to enable smartphone users to go directly to a web page without having to type in the web address. These little pictures truly are worth a thousand words!

How do I create a QR code?
There are several QR code generating sites out there. We like Delivr. www.Delivr.com generates QR codes quickly, and allows for immediate downloads of PNG and EPS files.

Go ahead and try it. Open your App and click on the QR code shown above. Then enter for your chance to win! 

Your own business YouTube Channel is a great way to:

• Advertise your goods and services; and
  
• Drive traffic to your website.
  

The nice thing about having a YouTube Channel is that it gives you the opportunity to show what your business does in a very visible way. If you sell books, then you would have videos about that. If you make toys, you could have a video of a toy being made from start to finish. Making things visual increases the likelihood of sales.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million!
