Japanese Web Site, Mobile Site and QR Codes

As an essential part of any Japanese business marketing plan, you will require a localized Japanese web site. In addition, a mobile site used in conjunction with QR Codes will allow you to reach mobile users. (Read more about QR codes below.)

About Mobile Sites, QR Codes and Music Promotion in Japan

A sample QR CodeIn Japan, where mobile phones are popular, having a mobile page/site is the norm for indie and major label artists. Working together with mobile phones are QR Codes (small square-like barcodes; QR stands for Quick Response). QR Codes contain information which can be read when you take a picture of it with your mobile phone (widely used in Japan but relatively unknown in the USA). The information can include a website address, text and other data. Many printed ads, magazine/newspaper/online articles, packaging, flyers, and posters have a QR Code on them. In Japan, it is not uncommon to see people taking pictures of posters or magazines with their mobile phones. Once the QR Code is in their phone they can link to your mobile site.


Below is a Japanese commercial using QR Codes.
It's in Japanese but you will get the point.
