“QR codes are changing how people obtain information,” said H. Arthur Wing, President of Little Giant Ladder Systems. “Our QR codes give consumers easy access to the information they want and need. With the scan of a smartphone, people can now view ladder safety and instructional videos on demand anywhere, anytime.”
The new Little Giant QR codes are conveniently located on packaging and ladder labels to meet the needs of consumers. In the aisle of a retail store, consumers can scan the QR code on the outside of the box and view a product demo highlighting Little Giant’s versatility and innovative safety features. At home or on a jobsite, a QR code on the ladder will launch an instruction and safety video, a perfect complement to the printed instruction manual provided with each ladder.
“Little Giant Ladder Systems is going beyond what any other ladder company is doing in the hardware industry,” said Ryan Moss, CEO. “This groundbreaking new initiative of combining handheld mobile devices with the best ladders in the industry will help people be safer while they focus on getting professional results. Using QR codes is another example of Little Giant’s ongoing mission to engage and connect with consumers to prevent ladder-related injuries and save lives.”
