A: Excellent question! The whole point of a QR code is to make it quick & easy to get some kind of data on your mobile device, so naturally it doesn't really make sense to include them on your website or in your email signature. However, here are three instances in which it might make sense to include one:
1. Sharing an App
If I read about an amazing app, either on the app developer's website or in another user's review, I want it NOW! Sure, I could take out my phone, navigate to my app store and search, but it's much easier to just point and download. For example, the list of apps on my Android page are all instantly accessible by scanning:

2. Share a Map
Many people now use their smart phone as their GPS unit. Include a map link in a QR code to make it easy for them to get where you need them to go, whether it's an event, open house or meeting point.
3. Create a Text Message
If you're requesting a text message or want to let people know they have the option of texting, take the work out of it by creating a QR code that will generate a text message.
