Welcome to day #2 of our ‘Hospitality Survey Suite’ series of blog posts. If you missed yesterday’s post, we’re running a contest on our Facebook page, encouraging our community to ditch their comment cards and move to digital feedback. This week, we’ll be covering a few features you can take advantage of within our Hospitality Survey Suite that allows you to go beyond the comment card.<\/p>\n
Today we’ll be covering QR codes. QR is short for Quick Response (they can be read quickly by a cell phone). They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone. You might see QR Codes in a magazine advert, on a billboard, a web page or even on someone\u2019s t-shirt. Once it is in your cell phone, it may give you details about that business (allowing users to search for nearby locations), or details about the person wearing the t-shirt, show you a URL which you can click to see a trailer for a movie, or it may give you a coupon which you can use in a local outlet.<\/p>\n
The reason why they are more useful than a standard barcode is that they can store (and digitally present) much more data, including url links and text. The other key feature of QR Codes is that instead of requiring a chunky hand-held scanner to scan them, many modern cell phones can scan them. The full Wikipedia description is\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n How Can We Use QR Codes to Gather Feedback?<\/strong><\/p>\n QR codes, as mentioned above, can be put on EVERYTHING! Let’s pretend you own a restaurant. When your server delivers the bill at the end of a patron’s meal, the QR code could be printed right there on the bill. No need for the patron to waste time filling out those silly comment cards — all they have to do is scan the receipt with their phone and move right along.<\/p>\n Here’s a video on how to use a QR code once you’ve created a survey in QuestionPro:<\/p>\n
