We've had a lot of people asking questions about QR codes, but one of the ideas of a business that I had was QR codes, funny enough. And when we were in Scarborough, the idea was to take QR codes and put them on for sale boards or for rent boards. Because normally, like when you're walking them down the street and you see the for sale sign outside, you don't see anything, you can't see anything of the inside. So my idea was to put a QR code on these occ. These boards, a sticker on it, so somebody walking by and maybe this property was of interest, they can scan the code and it would take them straight to the real estate agents page on the website. And phones nowadays are so clever. You can just hold up your phone to a QR code, it will recognize it, the camera will recognize it, and it will bring up the web page. So that web page could be anything from a video to a post on social media to, to literally anything online. You can now utilize QR codes and you know, whether it's a digital guidebook or just a simple sticker next to the hob or to the dishwasher or to the laundry machine or next to the boiler, so. Or WI fi. Prime example, somebody has just put WI fi in the comments is that instead of you having to try and explain it over the phone, you can just say, yep, sure, no worries. All you need to do, get your phone, scan that QR code. So hold your phone over it. It will take you to a video to show you exactly how to set it up or what to do if it goes wrong.
