GoKodesâ„¢ Launches the World’s First Smartphone Scanable ‘Lost and Found’ Labeling System Featuring Free Email and Text Messaging Notification

PR Newswire

MINNETONKA, Minn., Jan. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — GoKodes™ presents customers with a unique way to create a personal QR bar code that can be attached to a specific possession so that, if lost, the code can be scanned and the possession returned.

Says the British-born, Minnesota-based husband and wife team, Todd and Nadine Penny, “GoKodes offers customers a new and affordable way to insure the safe return of lost possessions. Once their GoKode is scanned, they’ instantly receive an email and text message to let them know their possession has been found and they can then use the GoKodes message board to communicate with the finder, to get their property back.”

Nadine Penny comments, “Until now, the typical method available to insure against the loss of personal property was to attach our personal information and hope that our lost belonging might be recovered.  That solution leaves our personal information accessible to anyone. To combat the threat of identity theft and improve personal security, GoKodes, provides a simple way to help bring our lost property back while safeguarding our identity.”

To celebrate the launch of GoKodes, customers are being presented with three free GoKodes to print them themselves using any printer. In April 2012, GoKodes will release its Gold and Platinum premium subscription services where high-quality custom labels can be ordered and shipped to customers at an unbelievably low price.”

GoKodes’ patent-pending technology can be used to label smartphones, iPods, laptops, purses, musical instruments even mountain bikes, for example.  Created in weather-resistant white, silver, gold and transparent 1.5 inch square labels GoKodes can be attached to any personal property.

Customer Iris Sharland says, “I printed off my free GoKodes and put them on my laptop, my phone and purse. I love this product, the labels look great, they offer insurance to my property and they can be used by anyone aged nine through ninety-nine. I recommend everyone print your free, three GoKodes, after all (as they say on the website) what have you got to lose?”
