> Or forget the newspaper. Let’s say I’ve already got customers in my shop and I want to capture the visitor’s information for follow up value add marketing ala coupons as an example. Maybe I’d like to have a sign in the shop offering a 10% coupon or whatever and to get that coupon, all the visitor has to do is scan the code and simultaneously, they get the coupon and the shop gets the customer’s contact info?

There is no way that I’m aware of to automatically capture contact details, but what you could do is embed a link to your app in a QR Code, and then when the customer scans the code you present them with a “registration” screen asking for their details. Once they enter the details and submit, you could then supply a coupon code.
