GMC has developed a
brochure with bar-code-type designs called quick response codes that smartphones can read, Chrissie Thompson reports. Phones scan the codes and point consumers to Web pages that give details on the
Granite's features, offer opportunities for social networking and discuss designers' inspirations for the concept. Studies show that by 2011, two-thirds of cell phone sales to people under 40
will be smartphones, Rosenblum says.
Meanwhile, GMC is using a YouTube site, "Terrain's World," to market the Terrain crossover vehicle launched last summer.
