We’ve just released our latest campaign examples from July. Like always, campaigns ranged from a variety of industries including Tourism, CPG and Retail. The summer has also become a popular time for sweepstakes, as we had codes linking users to contests from Hanes, JanSport, Tilly's and more.

Due to the enormous growth of mobile barcode technology, thousands of marketers are turning to QR codes to engage with their audience.
