Scanbuy and Lion Nathan Launch Cellar Key
Mobile Barcode Marketing Platform Offers Instant Access to Wine Information for Mobile Users
NEW YORK, Sept. 1 -- Scanbuy, Inc. (http://www.scanbuy.com), the global leader in mobile barcode solutions, and Lion Nathan Wine Group (http://www.lionnathanusa.com), owner and importer of fine wines from around the world, announced today the launch of Cellar Key, the most integrated 2D mobile barcode marketing platform that provides users fast and easy mobile access to information on Lion Nathan's esteemed wine brands.
With the ScanLife mobile app, users can scan the Cellar Key "QR" Code featured on a bottle's neck tag, shelf display, wine menu or other location to point their mobile phone camera at it and instantly read reviews, meet the winemaker, take a video tour of the winery and explore food and wine pairings. Mobile users can also instantly share their experience on social media sites, including Facebook and Twitter.
"Mobile barcode technology is proving itself to be an extremely easy and engaging way for brands to connect with their target audience," said Mike Wehrs, CEO and president of Scanbuy. "Furthermore, it's a technology that provides marketers a simple way to obtain valuable metrics and data that highlight consumers' interest on specific products and the improved effectiveness of campaigns that utilize mobile barcode technology."
Cellar Key will initially feature six wines including Oregon's Argyle Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and Vintage Brut; Australia's St Hallett Faith Shiraz and Poacher's Blend from the Barossa Valley; New Zealand's Wither Hills Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and Argento Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina. Each 2D barcode is associated with a specific wine and features an embedded code, or URL, that will automatically open up to a content rich website on a mobile device when scanned.
