One
of the most common questions that we hear daily is "What is a VisualTour®,
and how does it compare to the iPIX® tours
that I've used previously?" A VisualTour® is created and totally
controlled by you, the agent, using a standard digital camera and
your laptop or desktop computer. As thousands of our existing customers
will testify, creating your own VisualTours is FAST and EASY. VisualTour.com
provides you with the software, training and hosting to enable you
to create your own tours. If you can use a digital camera, you can
create your own tours.
Why
do thousands of agents create their own virtual tours instead of
paying an outside service provider to create them? There are many
advantages, but we'll talk about the four most important here. If
you'd like to see a full benefits list, click this link (or copy
it into your browser's address window) http://www.visualtour.com/compare.asp.
1.
Cost - A VisualTour® costs $25 per tour vs $99 or more for
a tour created by a service provider. There is a one-time startup
fee of $499 that includes your first 10 tours ($250 value), software,
online account setup, unlimited one-on-one telephone training and
support (every customer is assigned a personal trainer), and hosting
of your tours. After you've used the first 10 tours from your starter
kit, additional tours are just $25 each. Broker starter packages
are also available to automate your entire office.
2.
Control - YOU are in complete control of the tour. You use
your sales skills to create your own unique tour instead of paying
for a third party to provide a tour that's exactly like your competitor's
tours. You can include up to 50 images (including panoramic 360
degree images if you like), text on each image, and even a voice
overview. You completely control the content and quality of the
tour, and you can even include pictures of the neighborhood, schools,
parks in the area, etc.
3.
Timing - You can have your tours on the web the same day
as you get the listing instead of waiting 1 to 2 weeks. A tour typically
takes less than 1 hour to create. No more scheduling photographers,
waiting for processing, and guessing at the quality of the end result.
4.
Diskettes - With VisualTour.com you can create an unlimited
number of virtual tour diskettes for FREE. These diskettes can
be used for open house give aways, personal promotion, mailers,
or whatever you choose. Other virtual tour companies charge up
to $30 extra per tour for this feature.
Next
week we'll talk about some of the ways that our customers are
using their digital cameras in their listing presentations to
give them a very powerful competitive edge.
