Creating QR Codes in TextingOnly:
Offline → SMS
Conversion

Every Lead Collector auto-generates a QR code. Point it at any physical surface — direct mail, door hangers, yard signs, event signage, print ads, receipts — and turn offline interactions into SMS conversations with full source attribution.

QR CodesEntry PointsPrint-to-TextAttribution
What It DoesConverts a physical surface into an SMS conversation — scan → branded loader → native SMS opens pre-filled → contact sends → OTTO qualifies.
The Attribution AdvantageEach QR code carries a unique source tag. Table tent vs. receipt vs. yard sign vs. direct mail — all tracked separately in your reports.
Dynamic QR CodesQR codes in TextingOnly are dynamic — update the destination collector without reprinting. One QR code, updatable campaigns.

This feature is part of TextingOnly’s entry point system — every surface your customers interact with is a potential SmartLink or QR code that feeds the same OTTO qualification flow and reports.

Where to Deploy QR Codes

📬
Direct Mail

EDDM, postcards, letters. QR on the front or back with a clear CTA. Each mailing piece can have a unique QR for per-piece attribution.

🚪
Door Hangers

QR code with “Text us for a free quote” converts door-to-door distribution into SMS opt-ins — tracked separately from web leads.

🏡
Yard Signs & Vehicles

QR on truck wraps, lawn signs, job site signage. Neighbors who scan enter OTTO immediately — no website visit required.

🍽️
Table Tents & Receipts

Restaurants, retail, service businesses. QR on the table tent or printed receipt converts existing customers into opted-in SMS contacts.

🎪
Events & Tradeshows

Badge scanners are passive. QR on your booth signage or handout converts active interest into a live SMS conversation with OTTO.

🏠
Open House Signage

Replace the clipboard. QR on the door collects attendee details through OTTO — carrier-verified phone, buying timeline, pre-approval status.

Per-Placement Attribution

Create a separate collector — or use the same collector with different UTM tags — for each physical placement. Your reports will show which placements drive the most scans, highest opt-in rate, and best conversion to qualified leads.

✓ Multi-location businesses

Create a separate QR code per location. Your report breaks down which location drives which scan volume — so you know where to concentrate print spend.
