You do not need a smartphone to have a QR Code and account. You can set up a free account, customize your QR Code where it points to your content, put in on your blog, Facebook, send it out over Twitter, put in on your business cards and more. As you can see in the picture, when someone scans and reads your code, it takes them to a simple dashboard where they can choose how they want to contact you and what content of yours they would like to see. This is the ultimate QR Code to mobile website platform for your business!
