Welcome to the very first blog by Virtual Tour Madison! Our team fully understands how important it is to create a lasting impression...in fact, it is our mission. In marketing and advertising, image is everything! We photograph and market all kinds of businesses like water parks, restaurants, limousines and hotels, but our primary business comes from the real estate world. Agents, brokers and homeowners know that when selling a home, like any other product, the images must be top notch! With 85% of home buyers beginning a home search on the Internet, the images become even more critical!
We've all seen some terrible photography used in the Multiple Listing Service, on websites and even in Virtual Tours. Remember the saying: "You only get one chance to make a first impression." Hiring a professional photographer is the best way to insure your images will fully showcase your listing or home! It's more affordable than you think, and the functionality of Virtual Tour Madison's tours make them a total package of a marketing tool...with distribution to hundreds of sites, social networking and bookmarking built right in and the ability to assign a URL and make our tours a stand alone site. If that's not enough, our tours allow for multiple outbound links, making them a natural Google ranking machine. While all the fancy stuff is important, we think you should know that it's totally affordable! In fact, we think you can't afford NOT to use a professional.
In today's challenging real estate market, presentation and exposure is critical! Agents can no longer afford to use photos taken with a cell phone or equipment which begs the question: "What are they selling there, exactly?"Do yourselves and your clients a favor: hire a pro!We'll use state of the art equipment, specifically designed for your home, listing or product; we're highly trained and have years of experience in marketing, photography and copy-writing. The same holds true in any business!
I recently stayed at a hotel with a small water-park attached. There was one photo of a small area of the park and no room photos. The ballroom and banquet rooms had nothing, either. Photography and virtual tours can absolutely do the sales job for your business! It is the least expensive, highest ROI marketing and advertising money can buy! The shelf life of professional photos is unlimited. A virtual tour is live for two years and can be extended and even updated.
Our products are designed to drive traffic to your site and increase sales, all while spending less. Find me a radio or print advertising campaign with that kind of power! Remember: "If you think it's expensive to hire a professional, just wait 'til you hire an amateur!"
