Real Estate Sign Riders with SMS and QR Codes
bloggist
A new real estate sign rider app launched today offering free text messaging for real estate sign riders during their beta. PleaseText.Me is an app from the same Chicago-based authors of ThisHo.me. This fork in the development cycle still leverages the same “full” 10-digit phone numbers for the text messaging application. This allows consumers to directly engage with the real estate agent from the same number that initiates the relationship with the agent. That’s not possible with the short-code SMS solutions. Additional enhancements in the updated release include QR code analytics and a mobile landing pages. With the QR code tracking, agents can add their own Google Analytics or other site tracking scripts to the application. What this means is that QR code traffic is stored in the same analytics and reporting tools that you’re already using to track your “full” website.
You can see the feature tour of how this changes your real estate SMS marketing options. The platform serves as a console to manage all lead flow from your real estate sign riders. SMS replies offer property information and links to websites or even video. QR codes can be updated to toggle the landing page and/or destination URL in a snap.
The platform is available on an invite-only basis right now. To apply for a beta, apply at PleaseText.Me
