Have you noticed the images on our website like this one to the left? Or maybe in a magazine, newspaper or billboard? This is a Quick Response (QR) code. You’ll be seeing more of these on SellingCantonHomes.com, our Facebook fan page, and our printed marketing materials.
So what is a QR code? What does it do?
A cousin of the classic bar code, this code contains a URL…basically, it’s a hyperlink on paper. Your smart phone can read & launch these codes with a QR app. What this means to you is that our website & Canton home seller resources are now easier than ever to access on your smart phone!
How do I read a QR code?
You’ll need an app for your smart phone to read these handy codes. Just search “QR readers.” Several apps are free, some are paid. Here are a few sites and searches to get you started:
- iPhone QR reader app search
- BlackBerry QR reader app search
- Droid QR reader app search
- iTunes
- BlackBerry App World
- Android Market
After installing the app, launch it to scan the QR code with your smart phone camera. The app reads that image, launches your smart phone’s browser, and the website & information you want is on your screen.
