• Purpose: Why you get out of bed in the morning.
• Vision: Where do you see your business going?
• Mission: What is your business' mission statement (i.e. how will you
achieve your vision)?
• Goal: What are your short and long term goals? What activities will you
undertake to meet them?
Set a goal SO BIG that you can’t achieve.
Until you grow into the person who CAN.

analysis

to be met before this activity is considered a success?
Plan – Audience
Audience Profiling and Market

define your audience?

Offline / QR Codes
QR Code Marketing Tips for Small
Businesses
1. Start with well-defined goals. Think about why
you're asking someone to scan your code in the first
place. What do you want them to do?
2. Decide if a QR code is right for your target audience.
3. Make scanning a QR code worth the effort.
4. Your QR code should link to a mobile-optimized website,
rather than a standard desktop site.
This will increase the effectiveness of your campaign and build on the curiosity
factor. www.qrbreeder.com
