While many of the QR Codes that we write about on the QReate & Track blog are primarily used for marketing purposes, we have also run into a number of instances where they are being used to serve the community.
With summertime in full swing, here’s a recent example of how that can be done.
The New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium, The Jersey Shore Partnership Foundation, and the Girl Scouts have partnered up to spread awareness of rip currents along a huge stretch of coastline.
The current plan is to post 2,500 QR Codes on signs across a number of beaches, to help make the community aware of the dangers that rip currents could cause for ocean swimmers.
Upon scanning the QR Code, people are directed to a website that provides educational materials to help the public learn more about rip currents. One of the links that caught my attention was a video of what a swimmer should do if they are ever caught in one:
I think this is a nice example of how a community can integrate print and mobile technology to provide crucial information and educational content to the growing number of folks that are carrying smartphones around.

If there are small things that you may be able to fix by communicating with the salon then try cheap hair extensions uk first. For example if you are upset over the higher prices tell nail tip hair extensions. If you have been a long term customer they may be willing to cut you a price break in order to keep you at their Dallas salon with weaved in hair extensions. If you are upset over the wait time each time you come in for an appointment perhaps cheap clip in hair extensions can make changes to their procedures so that you get seen on time from that point on.

We’ve tried to provide a bit of fluffy fun in the face of this week’s tragic tods shoes in Boston and Texas, but when we found out that our friends at Boston-based tods handbags had come up with a way for people around the country to raise money for the victim’s medical bills and honor the city simultaneously, we thought we’d be remiss not to let you guys know.There’s also a section devoted to Marc Jacobs Online shoes (moccasins, pumps and Tods Ferrari Shoes!) and another full http://www.marcjacobssaleonline.co.uk Marc Jacobs UK Sale devoted to small accessories like sunglasses, belts, cosmetics cases, Marc Jacobs Handbags and more.What immediately grabbed my attention with this particular http://www.acoachfactoryoutletusa.com coach factory outlet is the bright orange wording printed on the front. It says "That’s the Marc By Marc Jacobs", playing on the fact that the base of this tote features a lifelike straw print. Incoming calls are visible on the display as are emails, Facebook notifications, and Twitter MARC BY MARC JACOBS Bags,Clothing, Shoes & Accessories updates. This orchid floral Marc Jacobs Handbags is my absolute One thing I do like is the price. Have the gender-role perspective shifts of the last decade not yet hit the Marc Jacobs Handbags profession?
