Leads vs Brand Awareness. How to Start an Advertising Campaign
Every time we talk to a Realtor or Mortgage Loan officer about digital advertising one of the very first questions is “how can I get leads?” or “how many leads per month will I get?

So our team dug in and now we really hold strong and do our best to educate our clients on why brand awareness is more important the lead. Check out this quick, 3-MINUTE video for more details.

QR Codes – Make Sure You Collect The Data
Coronavirus has forced restaurants to make necessary adjustments. One of which is producing outdoor dining spaces and safer environments for patrons. This includes the use of disposable menus or “contact-less” menus with the use of QR Codes.
Using QR codes is a learning curve for some, but technology has evolved, and now most smartphones come with a QR code scanner built into the camera. This now allows your patrons to come in and scan your menu.
When they scan the QR code they’re directed to menu page on your website. This should activate your data trackers and start collecting data you can use for advertising.
