soOlis.com's Sample Custom QR Codes

Here is a great example of how custom QR Codes can impacted a business. This is an excerpt from Sales Growth from Thomas Baumgartner.

In 2009, Tesco’s South Korean subsidiary Home plus put up a billboard in a Korean subway station that replicated the aisle of one of its supermarkets. Commuters could scan the QR codes of items on the poster using their phones and have their groceries shipped to their homes (Figure 5.3). “Let the store come to the people,” the ad read, proposing to turn “waiting time into shopping time.” The results were that in 2011, Home plus had pictures and QR codes of 35,000 merchandise items in three subway station virtual stores in Seoul and Busan, and 760,000 buyers downloaded Home plus’ mobile app. The company’s online user base jumped by 76 percent, and online sales increased by 130 percent from 2009 to 2011, making the company a leader in the country’s online grocery market.

September 28, 2012 Nashville, TN.  In soOlis.com’s continual effort to educate everyone on Fitness and Wellness products and services, they have created Custom Instructional QR Codes for fitness equipment.  It is quick and simple; just scan the QR code and a detailed instructional video will help the user operate the fitness product.

Tim Sebold, VP of Sales & Marketing for soOlis.com, said, “We are really excited about our most recent product.  We believe with this product, we can get more people exercising.  Think of all the unstaffed fitness facilities. The explosion of 24 HR fitness clubs, corporate fitness centers, condos, and hotels.  We believe we can assist all owners and operators of these unstaffed facilities to provide a safe and informative facility through our instructional videos.” Tim further added that he hopes the instructional videos will increase membership for local gyms and usage of condos and corporate gyms.  “People generally have a tough time asking for help and working out of their comfort zone. Now add working out for the first time!  It all becomes very intimidating.  But now with Custom Instructional QR Code, a person who has never worked out and has been cleared by his or her physician, can go to an unstaffed condo gym, scan the QR code and safely operate that treadmill that seemed so intimidating before.  There is no awkwardness or guess work.  It just makes for a happy and safe exerciser.”

soOlis.com’s first installation of the Custom Instructional QR Codes was at WOC Fitness in Ocean City, MD.  WOC Fitness is a 24 HR fitness facility utilizing several different brands of fitness equipment.   When asked why it was important for WOC Fitness to have this technology, Bonnie Zemo, President of WOC Fitness said, “Since we are open 24 HRs, we aren’t always here to answer questions or show people how to use the equipment.  With this technology, our members will be able to properly and safely use our equipment.”  With technology people are always concerned with cost.  But according to Bonnie, “It’s a “no brainer. We paid a small set up charge for our logo and $9.95 a label.  It is much less than paying a trainer to demonstrate each piece of equipment.”

Patchell Evans with Fit4Less in Canada and Mark Smith from the City fitness in New Zealand.

The agreement, reached during a meeting held Wednesday, March 16 on the IHRSA Convention floor, served as a monumental launch for the 30th IHRSA Convention and Trade Show and a triumph for Star Trac fitness, which Mr. Bruno acquired in July of 2010.

Each of the three club chains is planning for substantial growth in the next few years. Star Trac CEO Michael Bruno was upbeat upon concluding the deal saying, “Teaming up with Tony, Mark

and Patch, three of the most respected gentlemen in the industry, is an exciting venture that kicks this great show off with a bang. We at Star Trac are honored by this partnership.”

Industry veteran Mark Smith, who had a long relationship with the Star Trac brand during his tenure at TSI, was delighted by the agreement stating, “I am thrilled to be able to come full circle with Star Trac after my very successful partnership with them when running TSI. City Fitness now has a significant New Zealand presence, and the prospect of having exhibition facilities showcase Star Trac products is an exciting one.”

David Patchell Evans stated, “I have a lot of confidence in the new ownership and management of Star Trac and look forward to using it for our Fit4Less brand. It is another sign of our whole industry getting stronger after this recession.”

Echoing David Patchell Evans’ sentiments was Tony de Leede who said, “I and my team are very excited about working with Mike Bruno, Andy Richters and the Star Trac team in rapidly rolling out showcase clubs featuring Star Trac products.”
