Here's a nifty law firm marketing technique: I just got 100 business cards with my custom QR code on the back from Office Max for $30. If you're going to the LMA conference, you can give the cards to your colleagues, who can read the code with their smart phones.

Where do I get my free QR code? Go to www.vizibility.com and fill in the blanks. You will get a graphic of your QR code. It's a .JPG file you can download onto a flash drive. Take this to your printer and have them put it on the back of your cards.

How do I read the QR code? Get a free app for your smart phone. Get NeoReader, Optiscan or QR App for an iPhone, or Google Goggles for a Droid, or BeeTagg and UpCode for a Blackberry. Using the app, take a picture of the QR code. It will reveal the data contained in the QR code.
