QR Code Enhanced Classifieds

The first thing you may be thinking is, "What the heck is a QR code?" Barcodes are everywhere these days so we tend to ignore them. You have probably seen a QR code already and didn't think twice about it. QR stands for "Quick Response" and that is the magic that these square 2D barcodes provide. Just scan with a reader app on your smartphone and these versatile codes can do amazing things. At ZippyTrader we use QR codes to enhance our classifieds by creating a unique QR code that links to a mobile optimized version of every listing.

So how can you use this QR code? First, we've included your QR code on a custom "For Sale" sign that you can print from your computer. Put that sign on a car, motorcycle, or whatever you are selling and people will be able to get complete information in an instant We also give you the option of downloading just the QR code for use in other material. That flyer for your lost dog can now quickly link to your Lost & Found ad with 16 full-color photos of your dog plus a video. Maybe your business has an ad in our services section. Put your QR code on a yard sign to display at your projects. People can quickly read about your company and services, see photos of your work, and watch a video introduction for your company. It's like having an instant mobile website for free. Post an event and include detailed information plus photos and video from previous events. Put your QR code on flyers, posters, and other materials.

Those are just a few examples of how you can use your QR code. I'm sure there are plenty more I haven't thought of. Be creative and have a little fun.
