Big in Japan | ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner App

Scan with ShopSavvy Program

Earlier this month ShopSavvy® began supporting QR Codes AKA 2D barcodes.  ShopSavvy supports standard QR Code instructions including URL redirection, Phone Dialing, SMS Messaging and Contact Addition.  Retailers, brands and advertisers can leverage ShopSavvy’s name recognition and installed base of users (more than 4.5 million as of January 2010) in their QR Code promotions and marketing.  This is a FREE program designed as a win-win for marketers and ShopSavvy.

Simply overlay the ‘Scan with ShopSavvy’ badge on top of any QR Code and ShopSavvy users will be alerted that they can scan the code.  Users who don’t have a reader are instructed to download our reader (for free) from the shopsavvy.mobi website.  To use the ShopSavvy name and graphic you must receive permission (via email) which will not be unreasonably withheld (generally we just want to try to up-sell you).  Just let us know how you plan to use our graphic and name and send it to sales@biggu.com.

While consumers will be able to leverage ShopSavvy they will ALSO be able to use ANY barcode scanner than supports QR Codes.  LOTS of phones have the ability to scan 2D codes natively – your QR promotion will work on any of these devices unlike proprietary barcodes.

Options

• custom download link, i.e. brand.com/shopsavvy (links to custom version of ShopSavvy with brand’s messaging in footer – 320×36px)
• location aware QR Codes, i.e. we can report GPS (lat/long) to advertiser for each scan.
• custom 1D programs, i.e. proprietary UPC/EAN codes linked to your actions (for agencies who wish to keep their programs proprietary).
• custom art, i.e. on white, on black or in color.
