Your van drives past a hundred potential customers every day

Every house on the street where you're working is a potential job. The neighbors see your van, they see the work going on, they think "I've been meaning to get my exterior done." But by the time they walk over to ask, you're up on a ladder. By the time they look you up later, they've forgotten your company name. The moment passes and the lead is gone.

Paper cards don't solve this either. A homeowner takes your card, puts it in a pocket, washes the pants, and it's gone. Or they type your number in their phone as "painter guy" with no last name and no way to find you when their neighbor asks for a recommendation three months later.

A QR code on your van turns drive-by traffic into saved contacts.
A neighbor scans the code from the street, lands on your page with your photo, your finished project photos, and your contact info — and saves you to their phone with one tap. They didn't need to talk to you, didn't need a card, didn't need to remember your name. You're just in their phone now, ready for when they need you.

What homeowners see when they scan your QR code

A professional page with your photo, logo, finished project photos, services, and contact info — all in one place. No app required. One tap saves your contact to their phone.

📞 Click-to-call phone number
One tap dials you directly. A homeowner scans your van QR code from across the street and calls you before they've gone back inside. No typing, no searching, no second-guessing.
👆 One-tap Save to Contacts
Homeowners save your full contact — name, number, email, company name, and photo — directly to their iPhone or Android. You're in their phone permanently, not a sticky note on the fridge that gets thrown away.
🖼️ Project photos
Upload up to 5 finished project photos — exterior repaints, interior work, cabinet painting, trim work, deck staining. A homeowner sees a freshly painted colonial that looks exactly like their house and they're already sold before they call.
📱 Free QR code included
Download your QR code in PNG, SVG, or print-ready PDF. Put it on your van wrap, your yard signs, your estimates, your door hangers, and your invoices. Always points to your current info — even if you change your number next year.
🎨 Your services list
Interior painting, exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, deck staining, pressure washing, drywall repair — list every service you offer so homeowners know your full range without asking. More services listed means more jobs booked.
✏️ Update anytime, instantly
New number? New service area? Added pressure washing or cabinet painting? Log in and update your page. Every QR code you've ever printed updates automatically — no reprinting, no dead links.
📊 Built-in analytics
See how many people scanned your van QR code, viewed your page, and what device they used. Know whether your van wrap or your yard signs are generating more leads — without guessing.

Your van is your best billboard — make it work harder

Every painter with a lettered van is already advertising. A QR code turns that passive advertising into an active lead machine. Here's how painters are using it.

One scan from the street and the neighbor has your number saved permanently.

🚐 Van wrap or door magnet
Put your QR code on the side or rear of your van with a simple "Scan for a Quote" label. Every neighborhood you work in sees it. Neighbors scan it while you're on the job next door and save your contact before they've ever spoken to you.
🏠 Yard signs during a job
Post a yard sign with your QR code at every exterior job. Every neighbor who walks or drives by scans it. By the time you're done painting one house, three neighbors have your number saved. That's how painters build neighborhoods-worth of repeat business.
📋 Estimates and invoices
Print your QR code on every written estimate. The homeowner saves your contact while they're reviewing the quote — you're in their phone even if they don't hire you this time, which means you get the call next time.
📄 Door hangers
Leave door hangers on every house within two blocks of your current job. The QR code does the work — they scan at their own pace, see your finished project photos from right down the street, and call when they're ready.
💬 After every job
Text your link to the homeowner when the job is done. They save your contact permanently and can forward it to their neighbor who's been asking about painters. You get the referral without printing another card.
🏘️ Neighborhood canvassing
When you're in an area for a big exterior job, knock a few doors and hand out door hangers with your QR code. Exterior paint jobs are neighborhood events — if one house is getting done, three more are thinking about it.

The referral problem painters don't talk about

Painting businesses run almost entirely on referrals and repeat customers. A homeowner loves your work and tells their neighbor — but the referral only completes if they can actually hand over your contact information in a useful form. "He's great, his name is Mike, I think his number is..." doesn't close a job.

When your contact is saved in their phone with your name, photo, and company name, the referral works completely differently. They pull up your contact, tap Share, and send your full info directly to the neighbor asking about painters. That neighbor sees your name, your photo, and your company — not just a number from a stranger. They're already warmer before they dial.

And because your project photos are on your card, the referred neighbor can see finished work that looks just like their house before they've even called. You're not cold to them anymore — they've seen your work. That's the difference between a referral that becomes a job and one that dies in a text thread.

Works for solo painters and painting companies

Solo painters need to look professional and be easy to reach. Your digital business card is your website, your contact page, and your portfolio all in one link. When a homeowner looks you up after seeing your van, they find a professional page — not just a number in a text.

Painting companies with crews benefit from giving every foreman their own page. Each crew member on a job site represents your company — if a homeowner strikes up a conversation with a crew member, that crew member can pull up their card and share your contact instantly. No one has to say "I'll have the owner call you."
