In today's digital age, technology plays a crucial role in shaping the way we conduct business. For realtors, it's essential to stay ahead of the curve and leverage innovative tools to enhance their marketing strategies.  And this creates new opportunities for real estate sign installers to sell new services, which can increase you revenues per real estate listing.

One such tool that has gained significant popularity in recent years is the QR code.  The simple reality is that COVID forced us all to learn to use QR codes. Now almost everyone, of every age, is comfortable using them. And that is why Realtors are using QR Codes in their real estate signs.

By incorporating QR codes into real property signage, agents can seamlessly bridge the gap between offline real estate buyers and online marketing channels, thereby creating a more streamlined and engaging experience for prospective real estate clients.

What are QR codes and why should realtors use them?

QR codes, short for Quick Response codes, are square barcodes that can be scanned using any smartphone or tablet. After scanning, the codes will quickly direct real estate buyers to specific online content, such as a property website, virtual tour, property listing, or contact information for the real estate agent.

Realtors can benefit from QR codes in several ways:

  1. Instant access to property information: QR codes provide potential real estate buyers with immediate access to detailed property listings, including descriptions, photos, and virtual tours -- directly on their smartphones.
  2. Enhanced buyer engagement: By incorporating QR codes, you encourage prospective real estate buyers to actively engage with your marketing materials, driving their interest and increasing the likelihood of a successful sale.
  3. Tracking and analytics: QR codes can be easily tracked, allowing realtors to gather valuable data on buyer engagement and adjust their marketing strategies accordingly.

Bringing offline buyers into online channels

QR codes serve as a powerful bridge between offline real estate signs and online marketing efforts. Here's how realtors can leverage them to attract offline real estate buyers into online channels:

  1. Eye-catching signage: Place QR codes prominently on your real estate signs to catch the attention of passersby. Use attractive visuals and clear instructions to entice potential buyers to scan the code.
  2. Direct buyers to online property listings: Link QR codes directly to online property listings or dedicated landing pages that provide comprehensive information about the property. Ensure the content is visually appealing, user-friendly, and optimized for mobile devices.
  3. Virtual tours and video content: Use QR codes to direct buyers to immersive virtual tours or video content that showcases the property's unique features. This allows prospective buyers to explore the property from the comfort of their own homes, making it more convenient and accessible.
  4. Lead capture and follow-up: Incorporate lead capture forms on the landing pages that are linked to your QR codes. This allows you to collect contact information from potential buyers, enabling you to follow up and nurture leads effectively.

Best practices for QR code implementation

To maximize the effectiveness of QR codes in your real estate marketing, keep the following best practices in mind:

  1. Optimize for mobile: Ensure the content linked to the QR code is mobile-friendly, as most users will be accessing it on their smartphones. Responsive design, fast loading times, and intuitive navigation are essential for a positive user experience.
  2. Test and track: Use QR code generators that provide tracking and analytics capabilities. This allows you to measure the success of your campaigns, track user engagement, and gain insights into your audience's preferences.
  3. Clear instructions: Include concise and easy-to-understand instructions alongside the QR code, explaining how to scan it and the benefits of doing so. Make it clear that scanning the code will provide access to valuable property information.
  4. Aesthetics matter: Design visually appealing QR codes that align with your branding and catch the attention of potential buyers. Customize the appearance of the QR code while ensuring it is scannable.
  5. Create your QR codes in Jistix, then send them to your sign printer, so you can easily change the destination where your QR code takes buyers, as you place your sign installation orders. Also also get all the metrics that you need, automatically tied to your listings.
