QR Codes for the Real Estate Business
Some of you might have seen these funny looking blocks in some magazines and they are starting to be used more and more.
This funny looking block contains information, sometimes just a website URL (address) or maybe even text message or a link to a video clip etc and needs to be scanned with a Smartphone and then used. Many companies use this for advertising and this has real value for us as agents as this will probably one day replace the business card as we know it today.
BlackBerry has used this technology to great success with the BlackBerry Messenger application but the BBM application only works on BBM Pin number codes from one BBM contact to a next. My BBM code ...With one quick scan, clients can now scan my QR Code and save all my contact details directly as a new contact on there phone. These QR codes can be added to ads and boards where information about property can be given.
I am a BlackBerry user so I played around a bit and got to a good application called BeeTagg that allows me to do just that. This is a free Application but you need to find what application works the best for you. I specifically looked for something where I can scan and then save as a contact and this one works fine.
Look out for my QR Code and other codes on my ads where is will be parting with property related info to my current and prospective clients.
