Delta Media Group Introduces QR Code Signs
Listing signs are no longer enough. Consumers drive by them, often not noticing or remembering the listing agent’s website, email address or phone number. But there is a new way to capture more traffic and generate more leads direct from listing signs by use of QR Codes. Delta Media Group recently released integrated QR Code signs, which can link to the listing detail page on your Delta Media Group-built website, encouraging customers to contact an agent directly for more information on a listing they scan, and tracking all QR scans from consumers. QR, or “Quick Response” Codes, are easy-to-use bar codes that are scan-able by apps available on smartphones. When scanned, Delta Media Group’s QR Code signs send consumers to a website associated with the Code, complete with lead capture options and integrated tracking. Delta Media Group's Lead Management system has been programmed to track every scan of the code, allowing agents and brokerages using the QR Code signs to better record market penetration and ROI. Though most agents and brokerages are using the codes on listing signs to send interested consumers to the listing’s website, codes can be reassigned, allowing brokerages and agents to point them toward future listing websites, direct pages on a website, or even an agent recruiting website. For those agents and brokerages using Delta Media Group’s Mobile real estate websites, the QR Codes will send consumers to a listing detail page specially built specific for mobile phones. Delta Media Group is already displaying QR Codes on printable fliers generated from listing detail pages on real estate websites we build. The QR Code signs are the next step in our line of QR Code integration. QR Codes are quickly being integrated worldwide as a quick and easy call-to-action to push walk-by traffic and print advertising to a website associated with a company or product. This convergence gives companies better capabilities to “capture” customers by way of them submitting an online lead. Once an online request has been submitted, Delta Media Group’s Lead Management system immediately notifies the real estate agent of their new lead opportunity and tracks the agent’s interaction with their customer and the customer’s actions on the real estate website.

"So many Realtors are confused over what they need to change, buy or implement to attract today's smart phone user to see their listings when driving or walking by the property. We designed VisualTour to be mobile phone friendly in early 2010. At the recent NAR convention in New Orleans we showed thousands of Realtors how to leverage the mobile enabled VisualTour search feature into their own yard sign marketing. Now, we've automated creating QR codes on the fly to take mobile marketing to another level for our customers", states J. L. Winn, V. P. of Marketing for VisualTour. "As NAR's own surveys show, both the Internet and yard signs are key tools used by home buyers," continues Winn.

Goomzee Bundles Text, QR, Branded Mobile IDX Into One Solution
Missoula, Montana – January 10th, 2011 – Goomzee Corporation, a leading provider of mobile technology solutions for real estate professionals, announced today it has released the real estate industry’s first all-in-one mobile marketing and lead capture solution that includes 2-way Text Message marketing, QR Code marketing with lead capture, and Branded Mobile IDX. Goomzee’s product offering includes its industry-leading Text Message Marketing Platform, Realty Connect, which is currently available to over 120,000 REALTORs through its growing MLS and REALTOR Association partnerships.  Their new product suite now includes a patent-pending system for incorporating QR Codes into mobile marketing while providing lead capture, an industry first.  Goomzee’s new Branded Mobile IDX solution is already being piloted by some of America’s largest multiple listing in Arizona, Texas and Florida. “At Goomzee we identified key functionality that was missing in current QR Code and Mobile IDX offerings and welcomed the challenge to enhance our text message marketing platform and introduce a comprehensive solution that supports today’s mobile consumers, and tomorrow’s,” cites Goomzee founder and CEO, Mike Sparr. A QR (Quick Response) Code is a 2-dimensional barcode designed in 1994 by a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation.  It allowed the company to add square, 2-dimensional barcodes to items and quickly scan them.  The standard was offered royalty free and has recently been embraced by marketers globally to promote their companies and brands.  Consumers can download free barcode scanner applications for most of today’s popular mobile devices.  They can use these applications to recognize and decipher the contents of the barcode, which most commonly encodes a website address, or URL. “With technologies like QR Codes, one common problem was that it merely redirected consumers to a web link but did not offer lead capture to create more sales opportunities for marketers.  Our engineers designed a unique method of device and user identification that verifies leads and generates lead alerts when QR Codes are scanned without requiring an app download to track leads.  Another problem we solved was allowing marketers to reuse QR codes and avoid costly rebranding of signs and promotional material for each new property listing.  We were so thrilled with the innovations that we filed additional patents so we can offer our customers an exclusive, best-of-breed mobile marketing platform that is truly second to none,” claims Sparr. Goomzee’s product suite, Realty Connect, includes Text Message and QR Code marketing as well as Branded Mobile IDX.  By integrating with MLS data systems, mobile marketing campaigns and Mobile Property Pages are automatically generated and linked to the agent’s listings, eliminating double entry.  Agents then add Text and/or QR codes to yard signs, flyers, websites and print advertisements. Potential buyers are prompted to send a text message with a unique Property ID code or scan a QR Code.  Within seconds the buyer receives listing information, pricing and photos via Text Message or Mobile Property Page.  At the same time, the agent receives lead alerts either via email or text message.  Agents can then follow up directly from their phone, or they can log into their Administration Website and monitor lead activity or interact with contacts from any web-enabled computer. “We take both an agent-centric and consumer-centric view to designing our solutions and save agents the hassles of unproven technologies and companies.  Now real estate professionals can promote their listings and manage their leads in a single, easy-to-use product that literally does most of the work for them.  Our exclusive Auto Response system literally follows up with and filters leads automatically so the agent only contacts the most interested buyers.  Rather than maintaining a variety of tools, with buyer leads scattered from website to website, Goomzee’s Realty Connect suite does it all in one place.  I’m very excited to unveil the new Realty Connect suite,” Sparr added. In support of these new product offerings, Goomzee redesigned their corporate website and re-launched it on January 10th. About GoomzeeGoomzee provides mobile technology tools that allow real estate agents to deliver property information to a buyer's cell phone while they are standing at the property or on the go and helps convert more leads into sales.  With the company’s industry-leading product suite, Realty Connect, Text Message and QR Code marketing, and Mobile Property Pages, are automatically generated and reusable.  Goomzee’s products seamlessly integrate with MLS property listing databases to provide accurate, relevant information for the real estate professional and their clients.
