For the real estate industry, its for your promo product spend, as well as signage, among other things to link back to the mobile web via the use of QR Codes so you don't need to build an app!

Imagine a virtual 3D representation of a new home!

That's what mobile media can do!

It sounds like you are using QR Codes :-) And they are awesome! Just some of the things you can do with them:

*QR Codes can contain links to web sites or phone numbers

*QR Codes can contain coupons for discounts to products and services or hidden messages

*QR Codes can be printed on almost anything from business cards, billboards, clothing, hats, web sites and more

*QR Codes make it easy for any business to promote or communicate directly to someone’s cell phone instantly after the image is read because the marketing message is displayed right then and there. Plus it can contain all personal contact info or links to anything a business wants

I know most if not all real estate professionals have a fancy business card, and that's okay, but what happens when folks lose it?

Having a fancy web site is cool but folks aren’t always online to access it right?

With QR Codes you can solve these problems and be on the cutting edge of Mobile Marketing technology giving you the edge over your competition!

For the visual learners you can learn more about them and how they can increase your sales in this four minute video http://qrcodes.chanelljoyner.com.

I upload the code onto flyers and it brings you to the virtual tour!

Can you expand on this, please? If a prospect loses the business card (and I assume your point is the QR code is on the BC), how will they access the QR code?

And if they are not online to access the 'fancy website', how will they use a QR code?

By the way, you seem like an advocate for QR codes, can you share some stats regarding how you have successfully implemented them in your overall marketing plan? Thanks.

Hey look a shiny new object!

About the best use I can see for these is to have them on the brochure box or sign rider so they can quickly get the full info on the spot.

If you have a website that's worth squat buyers will be able to find it easy enough without a QR code.

We just put a QR code on a flyer. I will let you know how it works out. But, I'd put it on another you have that are print ads.

ugh. this topic.

Show me data that QR codes work. And then maybe I wouldn't be such a skeptic.

The problem is people (agents) are putting them on EVERYTHING. So it's a matter of knowing WHERE to put a QR code.

If you have a blog that is put together well, and is something that can benefit people passed simply showing listings and talking about real estate, a QR code would be great!

I can see where it might be of use in print ads. One day I passed a building in the Philadelphia area that had two signs on each corner of their yard. There was no other sign on the building or nearby - and all that was on the signs in the yard corners was a giant sized QR code. Since I don't have a smart phone and could not look up the code, I found it mildly annoying.

I suspect it was some sort of marketing experiment to see how many people respond to it.

My son has a business creating mobile apps for i phones and droids that are great for real estate and business in general...

I see the strength in QR Codes as a Marketing Coordinator for one of the best teams in the country we plan to use them extensively and there are many ways to get some benefit out of them.

I hate adding contacts to my phone as it is a tedious process with such big hands. With a QR I scan the biz card and voilà all the work is done for me.

For the tech savvy clientele they also appreciate that you are advanced with your marketing tools which benefits your brand.

Also I find it is great to easily convert people from one medium to another conveniently. Say the client is on your website sees a listing and with a qrcode they can be calling your office without even dialing the numbers.
