To get a QR Code Reader for your smartphone, go to your app store. The free one I downloaded has ads at the bottom of the screen. Google “QR Code generator” to find a site to generate a QR code for your site. JonR: Try to find a site that includes analytics so you can track usage. Note: The site Rob and Jon mentioned – <a href="http://www.bit.ly">www.bit.ly</a>, it not a QR Generator, but rather a site to shorten a URL – similar to <a href="http://www.tinyurl.com">www.tinyurl.com</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>14.

KathyK: Kathy learned through her informal survey of women in her store they were in town for WOW. Not as many as she would have like, but still a good number. JimK: Not much impact at Icefire. JohnB: Guests at CBVR indicated they were here for WOW. LisaS: There was a good vibe at Mo’s with the WOW visitors. JeffT: Noticed groups of women on Friday at TerHars. Saturday sales were only as good as last year. With the 3-day weekend, more was expected, but the rain and wind on Saturday was a factor. GeorgeV: George’s free Saturday afternoon portrait offering had to take place indoors and was down from last year. Somehow it got left off the flyers and website for the event and most of the portraits were visitors to the gallery and not WOW attendees. See photos at <a href="http://www.cannon-beach.net/events/wow/wow2011">www.cannon-beach.net/events/wow/wow2011</a>. MarcyW: The events at the Wayfarer and Surfsand were very well received but not as well attended. StephanieA: Not many late shoppers came upstairs to Primary Elements, but she did observer people in Maggie & Henry on the ground floor when she left that evening. CarmenS: Most Sea Ranch lodging guests did not know of event before arriving but the Spa was busy. She felt there were more women out than last year. WendyH: Ocean Lodge was full. Occupancy is up 12% for the month to date. Inn at Cannon Beach is down though. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>6.
