We would like to track clicks on QR codes on behalf of a client. They have their own analytics account but we would like to track the clicks to determine whether a QR code is required on future campaigns.
We initially thought that we would provide a URL to a page on our server which would track the click and re-direct to the relevant link, but we have also read about Urchin tracking modules and wondered whether these could be used in this scenario instead as a less labour intensive method? Does anyone have any experience with this? If so could you advise on best practice?

If you have an access to their GA account, UTMs will be most efficient.
Encode as QR code destination URL with additional parameters utm_source, utm_medium and optional utm_campaign eg.
example.com/landing_page.html?utm_source=QRcode&utm_medium=poster&utm_campaign=february2015
Then in Acquisiton -> All Traffic -> Source/Medium report you'll see "QRcode / poster" for that traffic (without tagging it will be counted as a direct).
