At <a href="http://oneillrealestate.ca/" target="_blank">O&#8217;Neill Real Estate</a> we have been using QR codes since 2007 and have experimented with what works and what does not.  Perhaps the single most important aspect of using QR codes, besides ensuring the code points to the correct website, is to publish the code large enough so it can be read by the majority of phones with cameras.  All too often we see QR codes too tiny for cameras to read, such as this code George O&#8217;Neill discusses that was recently published in a New York Times Starbucks ad.  Our research has shown that about 40% of smart phones will not be able to read this Starbucks ad since the image is just too small.</p><p>We have found that QR codes need to be a minimum of 2 inches in width and height for printed ads, and those used on outdoor signs and billboards and signs need to be much larger.  On our lawn for sale signs, for example, our QR codes are about 8 inches square in size.</p><p>At O&#8217;Neill Real Estate we take digital marketing serious and we sweat the details to ensure our client&#8217;s properties receive the maximum market exposure possible.  We don&#8217;t just use something because it is the current fade, as many seem to be now doing with QR codes.  We only use marketing tools that work, and we properly implement them.</p><p>If you would like to learn more about how we properly market our client&#8217;s properties using digital marketing techniques to get the maximum market exposure please send an <a href="mailto:George@ONeillRealEstate.ca" target="_blank">e-mail</a> to George O&#8217;Neill, CEO and Broker of Record at O&#8217;Neill Real Estate Limited located in The Beach, Toronto.</p><p>You're reading <a href="http://oneillrealestate.ca/2011/10/25/qr-codes-great-idea-but-failed-implementation/">Episode 402 &#8211; QR Codes &#8211; Great Idea But Failed Implementation</a> from: <a href="http://oneillrealestate.ca">O&#039;Neill Real Estate</a>.

We call this tool <a href="http://realti.ca/" target="_blank">Realti</a>.  Check it out.  Many of our clients find it interesting to stay on top of the real estate market in their neighbourhood.</p><p>If you would like to learn more about the Toronto real estate market, or are thinking about selling your property and would like to know the market value, please send an <a href="mailto:George@ONeillRealEstate.ca" target="_blank">e-mail</a> to George O&#8217;Neill, CEO and Broker of Record at <a href="http://oneillrealestate.ca/" target="_blank">O&#8217;Neill Real Estate Limited</a> located in The Beach, Toronto.</p><p>You're reading <a href="http://oneillrealestate.ca/2011/10/24/episode-401-what-the-heck-is-a-zoopraisal/">Episode 401 &#8211; What The Heck Is A Zoopraisal?</a> from: <a href="http://oneillrealestate.ca">O&#039;Neill Real Estate</a>.
