| Qriket |
QR codes are everywhere these days from movie posters to the roof of
Facebook headquarters. But people do not seem to be interested about
scanning these distorted checkerboards because they do not see any real
reason to scan them.
A startup in Toronto plans on making this dull activity profitable for you. The Qriket,
an app available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, enters people
into a contest for a chance to win cash prizes every time they use the
app to scan a QR code.
The money comes from companies who pay out Qriket users (or as I
would like to call them, Qriketeers) who scan their QR codes from as
little as $1 to as much as $50. Why you ask? Because these companies
would like its customers remain engaged with their brands, along with
the QR codes they have incorporated into their marketing campaigns.
The response has been positive. Since its launch in November 2011,
Qriket has paid out more than half a million dollars to players from
around the world, with its top players regularly scanning hundreds of QR
codes daily.
Qriket is available for free on iTunes.
