Use cases
QR codes for real estate signs
A real estate sign QR code should open a listing page you control and be big enough to scan from the sidewalk: about 12 inches wide for 10 feet, or 6 inches for a rider read up close. Use a static code, which is free and never expires, and point it at a page on your own site so you can swap listings without reprinting.
Free, no signup. Made in your browser and never expires.
How to make one
- Create a page on your site for the listing, or a page that always shows your current listings.
- Make a link code with a frame such as Scan for photos.
- Download SVG or PDF for your sign printer at the size you need.
- Test from the curb before installing.
Avoid links that expire
Listing portal links often change or disappear after a sale. A code pointing to your own page can be redirected to your next listing, so the sign keeps earning leads.
Outdoor printing
- Matte finishes reduce glare.
- Dark code on a white panel scans best.
- Keep the code away from the sign's edges and mounting holes.
Questions
- How big should a QR code be on a yard sign?
- About one tenth of the scanning distance: 12 inches wide for 10 feet.
- Can I reuse the sign for the next listing?
- Yes, if the code points to a page you control and you update that page.
