Raising awareness with easy barcode scanning technology

QR Code advantages Cow

Farmland Dairies is joining the multitude of companies using QR codes as part of their latest promotional campaign to raise consumer awareness.

The company, a leading manufacturer of retail and foodservice branded milk and cream, will be using the codes in health clubs throughout the Northwestern U.S. The campaign is to promote their new dairy products that are enriched with fiber and omega-2 fatty acids.

Farmland is using static panels in more than 100 health clubs spanning from New York to Connecticut. The panels feature $1-off coupons and a QR code. When scanned, the code will take consumers to the Farmland mobile site set up for the campaign that will tell them how to receive free samples of their new products.

Farmland Dairies has teamed with New Jersey based advertising firm Linett & Harrison, who created the campaign and suggested the usage of QR codes.

The dairy company is likely to pursue further uses for the codes in the future.
