Create Call to Action with QR Codes

By Heather Timmerman Digital Media Trends Comments Off

Research has shown that 51% of US mobile users are smartphone users (comScore) and the number of European consumers watching video on their mobile phone has increased by 66% in the last 12 months (eMarketer). With the increasing trend in smartphone usage and mobile video consumption it’s important to understand how you can maximize and monetize both trends.

You can start by integrating all aspects of your online video campaign with your print outlets by incorporating QR codes on all materials. A QR code is a call to action (CTA) that can be added to any printed piece which enables the user to learn more about the product, watch a video, or receive any recent promotions – via smartphone.

It’s the ultimate link between online and print and not only technologically savvy, but easy to implement. Our partner Okari mobile has helped us bring this technology to customers such as Kino.dk and SF Film and we can help you too. If your marketing and promotional campaigns call for printed materials such as magazines, posters, or DVD boxes, Preview Networks can help create a CTA allowing you to monitor success and create a fun and interactive campaign.

Thanks to recent research done by Frank N. Magid Associates, Inc. we have more data confirming online video habits continue to grow.  The numbers have most likely already increased as months in the online world feel like years in the real one, but here are some highlights to take note of:

50% of internet users now watch online video weekly or more

Youth is driving the weekly online views at 85% in the 18-24 age bracket

76% of online video consumers watch professionally produced clips regularly

28% believes online video is more entertaining than TV shows

To sum up; we live in a world where watching video online is common for everyone, but different age brackets have different needs or interests.  Professional clips are watched by people in the 18-34 age bracket while the younger generation drives the overall wave.  It should also be noted, that watching video online had minimal negative impact on watching TV in general.

In a digital age where connecting your laptop to the TV is just as common as popping in a DVD, the market seems to want video whenever, wherever, however they can get it.
