![]() Believe it or not some hotels want the card in every room, so it isn't a "waste of time" as previously stated.
If the material available is in the room as well as on the front desk then the person who is wondering where to eat doesn't have to go to the front desk to ask. Sure they are going out the front door anyway, but they may want to decide before they get to the lobby in the comfort of their room. If you put QR codes on your room cards, or desk flyers or whatever means of communication you employ, be sure to have an alternatives means by which to find your site. While it's true that almost every smartphone(SP) is capable of scanning a QR code, in practice very few even have one installed. There are a very limited number of SP users that even know what the heck that little square box is. Less than 20% have an app installed and use it to scan. Every phone can text and browse the web so a text to get a link option or at the very least a web URL is a must. QR codes alone will eliminate at least 80% of your potential users. And trust me, people are not going to download a QR reader and learn how to use it just to scan your code. Quote:

![]() Once again......give "US" people (me) who create and put together Promo Programs......some "slack" or....some "credit"......for the things YOU bring up!
Just because I don't go into or SHOW the EXACT DETAIL on my programs does NOT mean I have NOT considered ALL options AND.....implemented them .....like......"Gee Willikers, I spose I should include the URL near the QR Codes ......just in case Hotel Guests can't Scan the Code!"! This is the 2nd (or 3rd) time you've commented on one of my programs about some "detail" you think is missing. Are you doing this to show that YOU have found something to make the program/s better.....to make YOU look good or......that I have "overlooked" something .....to make ME look bad? I'm curious as to WHY you bring up "details" about my programs. Don Alm |

![]() OK.....OK......I WILL Reveal a "detail" about THIS program that I DISCOVERED BY DOING THE PROGRAM!
When I printed TV Channel Guides on 6 x 9 Cards and placed them IN ALL the rooms......I started out by putting the Cards in "Plastic Displays" that sat next to or ON the TV. I found I had to REPLACE most of the displays every few mos. Guests would take them. I then went to just plain Cards on Card Stock and put the TV Remote On Top of my Cards. This to I had to replace because the Loose Cards would get mixed in with other printed materials a tossed out. So.....what we do now is print the Guides on a 8.5 x 11 Card and STICK THE CARD ON THE WALL NEXT TO THE MIRROR OF ON THE BACK OF THE DOOR! Don Alm |

![]() Great tip. Too bad the first line makes you sound like you're tooting your own horn and putting everyone else down when you know NOTHING about what anyone else has done.

![]() I went back and read the post that this response is to and I must say I don't see any "naysaying". Just me providing additional information that could help someone doing a directory. Additional information that comes from experience.
Like usual Don, you react. It's either with sarcasm, derision or "you will FAIL"!! I thought I read somewhere recently that you were going to try not to do that. Still getting it out of your system huh. You have some great ideas and I have used bits and pieces of them here and there, but your attitude towards people who ask questions or try to build on them really sucks. This quote below is a perfect example. Quote:
