Testimonials that no one has said. Ever.

"Scanning that QR code led me to a non-mobile site. Hot-diggity! Let the zoom and scroll begin!"

"That QR code on the company car makes me think that brand is forward-thinking and hip!"

"That QR code on your site, that takes me back to your site, enriched my web experience and made my AOL membership fee worth it!"
