QR Codes That Fail Kill Kittens

October 17, 2013 By Tim Somers 1 Comment

It’s not often I focus on blog posts that tell my readers what NOT to do, the majority of my posts are driven by my successes using various marketing techniques and the successes of my clients.  My intent is to help you the business owner put your marketing in action with tips that can be used in the marketing of your business.  A fellow marketer shared the video below of Scott Stratten talking about his new book OR Codes Kill Kittens.  This video was really eye opening, Scott uses comedy to drive the point home that marketers do things like using QR Codes just because and in most cases are doing it wrong.

I just ordered a copy of the book and will provide a review once I read it but wanted to share the video to help stimulate you to really think about all the tools that you are using and most likely using wrong.  If you are using QR Codes you really need to review the “why”.  Why are you using the funny looking bar-code? what’s the purpose, the point – what is the end result you are looking to achieve once someone scans it. Really put some thought into it and make sure the code works…crazy how many don’t…TEST THEM PEOPLE!

QR Codes Kill Kittens

You might want to check out this book “QR Codes Kill Kittens” as well, the description says it includes real-life examples along with tips and guidance on several other topics too, including experts, human resources, marketing/branding, networking (in person and online), public relations, and customer service.

If reading this book saves just one kitten’s life, it’s worth it.

To your success!

    It is possible to undoubtedly view your capabilities inside work you’re. The entire world desires of far more fervent authors just like you who will not be fearful to talk about how they believe that. Usually comply with your own center.

Tracy Hill is wonderful, and is a great resource for all business owners. Tracy helped me get Style Books with my logo embossed on them, and I couldn't be happier with them. She worked with me and the vendor to make sure everything was perfect. Her customer service and follow-up was wonderful. I would highly recommend working with Tracy to any business owner needing marketing materials/promotional products!

Tim: Just like when one of my gift baskets arrives and you're so excited when you open the box and you're seeing something magical for the first time--that's how I felt when I saw those magnets. You did a fabulous job!

Mary Lewinski, Extra Special Baskets    Website   

I would like to thank Tracy Hill for a fantastic job. I had a huge networking event fast approaching and I needed promotional items for my vendor table. Tracy was able to recommend several options and cleaver ideas. We were able to place my order and I received the items in time for my event. I ordered pens and they look amazing.

I would highly recommend Bizarre Marketing and I would definitely recommend Tracy, she is the BEST!

I am so happy with my pens and business cards. I was like a kid in a candy store when I saw my pens (pink no doubt). My business cards are amazing - I finally got official cards with my logo, no more generic cards (they served their purpose). Tracy Hill was my representative and she is the absolute BEST! She helped me with ideas for an upcoming event and ensured everything would arrive on time for event.

Valerie Priester - Victorious Life Coaching    Website   

Thank you Tracy for helping me with our health fair. The Large insulated bags were a hit and are of very high quality. The pin wheels with our name on the handle were a hit as well with the children and the parents.
