A typical printed ad in a newspaper could cost as must as $400 a month. There is no comparison. Though in times gone by, the printed media was a very effective way of getting the word out about a piece of property you have for sale. However, with the explosion of the internet, no reads the printed word like they one did.

Your customers and their affiliates’ most effective flyer/broacher they have is their website. Why not draw more people to your site and keep them their longer with a virtual tour.

Some typical affiliates for realtors:

  • Surveyors
  • Staggers

    Don’t let realtors be your only source for virtual tour leads; the sky’s the limit. Don’t forget airports, restaurants, parks, golf courses, resorts, stadiums, theme parks, shopping centers, marinas, boats, government facilities, motor homes, bed and breakfasts.

New Perception for Hot Spots

Looking at things in a different way is just one aspect of virtual tours.

Recently I checked out a fellower RTV (Real Tour Vision) Dealer's (Loop Photography, Minnesota) blog posted on RTV's blog page.

What he had to say in his blog drew me in, but his virtual tour is what really caught my attention.

Some times you use tools and never have a clue on other ways to use them. Pictures and videos are tools that display real estate, but virtual tours are another still tools that show real estate in yet a different way.

The way he used his hotspot to show a different angle in the living room pan was totally different than the way I generally think of using hotspots. I think hotspots as leading to another area/room.

This enlighted perceptive gives a new way of thing about hot spots.
