Homewaters Introduces QR Codes

If you haven't heard about QR Codes yet you will start to notice them just about everywhere very soon. Basically they are a two dimensional bar code that can be generated to direct those who scan the code to a website or other location. Anyone with a smart phone can download a free reader at any number of sites. I pulled one down on my phone from i-nigma.mobi and it seems to work well. Once you have the reader, just hold your phone's camera over the code and it will redirect the browser on your phone to the intended location. We've begun to use them on our mailings and will likely start using them on our yard signs to direct users to details on specific properties. Keep a look out in your favorite magazine or on products in the store and you'll be amazed at how many companies are already incorporating them into their marketing strategy. We've chosen to direct most users to our mobile website since it's formatted to fit the screen of a phone or smart phone. If you haven't checked out QR Codes or our mobile site before, here's your chance to do both! Just download the reader and scan the code below to view details of one of our newer listings on The AuSable North Branch.

Great stuff Chad! Simon had shown me this technology a while back and tried it on my BB. Worked great!

Good luck with that great listing!
