They are like a bar code that comes on everything you buy, but a little different. You use these codes to get places fast. Hence the name "QR Code" or "Quick Response Code". (Here is the long definition from Wikipedia)If you have a smart phone with a camera i.e. blackberry, iPhone, droid etc. All you have to do is down load a QR reader program* (many already come loaded with an app), then open the program when you want to use it, then take a picture of the code and it will do whatever the creator of that code wants it do. For example it could...
1) Send you a text back with some sort of message
2) Take you to a website
3) Give you an email address
4) It could import someones contact info into your phone
5) It could import an event into your calendar
6) It could take you to a place on a Google Map
7) It could take you to a Pay Pal buy link
8) It could take you to a social media account (i.e. facebook, twitter, blogspot etc.)
9) It could play a YouTube video
10) Or take you to an iTunes link.
However, in real estate they are beginning to make an entrance on Yard Signs. That way if your driving by you can click a picture and be on your way. Instead of getting out to get a flyer or fumbling for a pen to write down the agents number. It's just a way to make your life easier.
