Some of us already do that; I've had mine on my business cards for a
couple of years now.  Unfortunately, the two most common things heard
are "What's that junk on your business card?" and "No way I'm scanning
a strange QR code, you might be trying to pop my phone."  Only one
person in four years and change has taken it seriously and used it.

QR codes work well, but the uptake of them as anything practical isn't
where it needs to be yet.
