Your van is a moving advert, and a yard sign is up for weeks. A QR code on each lets a potential customer save your number or request a quote in seconds.
How contractors and trades use QR codes
Van and yard sign
A code that saves your contact or opens a quote request form. Make it big, because people see it from a distance and in passing.
Invoices and estimates
A code on the invoice can open your payment page or a review link after the job.
Business card
A vCard code puts your name, phone and trade straight into the new customer's contacts.
Previous work
A code that opens a gallery of finished jobs, which helps customers who do not know you yet.
Set it up in three steps
- Make a vCard code for your contact details and a link code for your quote form.
- Print the van code at least 15 cm wide, in dark on white.
- Check it from several metres away before you commit to the vinyl.
Mistakes to avoid
- Placing the code where it will be dirty, curved or at a poor angle.
- Making it too small to read from a following car.
- Linking to a site that does not work well on a phone.
Frequently asked questions
Will a code on a van scan while it is moving?
Not reliably. Plan it for parked vans, yard signs and stationary traffic. Include your phone number as text too.
Should I use a vCard or a link?
Use a vCard to save your contact. Use a link to send people to a quote form or gallery.
Can I see which sign brings calls?
Dynamic link codes count scans, so use a separate code on the van and on each yard sign.
