Exportable QR Code Statistics

We`ve had a lot of interest on using QR codes for marketing which shows their full potential. As soon as the first steps are done and the Campaign is live, it’s all about the analytics. What is a marketing campaign good for if you are not able to measure the Success?

If no one is scanning your QR code, it’s likely that something is wrong. Is the code really Scanable? or is the placement not conducive to scanning? Things you can’t think about if you have no metrics.

Some public URL Shortening Services offer Scan statistics too, but did you know that those Statistics are public readable? This for example allows your competitors to monitor your campaign and obtain Information you better keep private.

For ucardo privacy is a really important point, we protect every single log entry, every statistic and all stored information by state of the art technologies.

Besides viewing the Campaign Statistics online you are able to Download all recorded Campaign Information to utilize in your offline analytic tools. We use a well-accepted Excel compatible CSV Format. Even if the campaign is closed you can archive the whole statistics offline.

Device-related forwarding

Did you ever notice Smartphone App Advertisements displaying several QR Codes to direct you to the correct App Store like this:

With the upcoming Windows 8 Phones those Sites have to cover even more Device related links. We think this is just a waste of space and user-unfriendly. Ucardo Pro offers a simplified solution for this Problem. With a single QR Code you designate the Device dependent target URL.

Try it your self, this is the resulting QR Code, redirecting you to the specified Device-related URL.

Another good example of use: Your App is currently available for Android and iOS but the Windows Phone App isn’t ready yet. Use the Device-related redirect to show scanning customers with a not supported device Information about availability.

This new feature is available to all our ucardo Pro Customers.

Ucardo предназначен для создания микросайтов, содержащих информацию о владельце. Она кодируется в виде QR-кода, который можно напечатать на обычной визитке. Если направить камеру смартфона на этот код, то он распознает его и откроет соответствующим образом оптимизированную страницу.
