Recently my elderly father bought himself a new mobile.  He strode, sorry wrong verb, he’s old.  He shuffled nervously, into a gleaming temple where products aren’t so much on show as implied by bright colours and a lot of chrome.  His entrance appeared to provoke a tangible sense of horror in the youthful sales assistants, three of whom managed to get away leaving one bewildered young man facing the slightly wary, watchful but relatively innocent and wrinkly face in front of him. 

SalesForce is a great crm to keep track of all your leads and contacts. Being a web guy my favourite part is an easy to use “web to lead” forms.

A common problem with the forms though is what about when you want to have multiple fields on the form but only one field within SalesForce i.e. on the form have fields for “first name” “last name” but then on a report export or email blast have a field with “first name last name”.

When you insert the QR code into artwork try to keep it at least 1″ square with a few mm’s of white border. They are and can be made as large as you think a phone could scan. If you do plan on resizing the image to make it larger I would recommend a vector image (normally in pdf format) since it resizes without loosing resolution.

Hope this helps and if it did please share

I attended the SES conference in toronto this week and found that while it would be very useful for certain demographic, it didn’t offer anything new for a seasoned SEO/SEM’r.
