Brand Building 2011

“Branding Pays Off”!  Toursdforce, a Lenawee County virtual tour provider knows and understands the importance of Brand Building.  Although most people associate brands with Big Companies, Tours D’ Force  a small locally owned business, right here in Lenawee County uses branding techniques with great rewards and they didn’t require the budgetary resources of Procter & Gamble either.  Branding doesn’t even require a product or a tangible delivery mechanism.

Time, money and effort spent on branding comes back many times over when the process plays out.  Here’s why:

1.    Memorability. It’s easier to remember the branded company than the what’s its name one.
2.    Loyalty.  When people have appositive experience with a memorable brand, they’re more likely to buy that product or service again than competing brands.
3.    Familiarity.  Psychologists have shown that familiarity induces liking, and this makes even non-customers more likely to recommend a brand they know.
4.    Extensions.  With a well-established brand, you can spread the respect you’ve earned to a related new product, service or location more easily.
5.    Lower marketing expenses.  Although you must invest money to create a brand, once it’s created you get a bigger bang for every marketing buck using it.
6.    For consumers, less risk.  People tend to choose the brand-name suppliers over the no-name one when afraid of the consequences of a mess-up.

For those reasons and more, branding may be for you.

Looking for new avenues for your brand awareness project in 2011, here’s what Toursdforce found to be HOT!

What’s up for Brand Building in 2011…
GENERATION G (That would be G for ‘Generosity’, not G for‘Greed’)

                    To be a greedy pig or a free cone, that’s the question

GENERATION G | "Captures the growing importance of 'generosity' as a leading social relations “social change” and business mindset. As consumers are disgusted with greed and its current doomy consequences for the economy—and while that same upheaval has them longing more than ever for institutions that care—the need for more generosity beautifully coincides with the ongoing (and pre-recession) emergence of an online-fueled culture of individuals who share, give, engage, create and collaborate in large numbers.

In fact, for many, sharing a passion and receiving recognition have replaced 'taking' as the new status symbol. Businesses should follow this societal/behavioral shift, however much it may oppose their decades-old devotion to me, myself and I.”

The three drivers for GENERATION G:
1.    Recession and consumer disgust
2.    Longing for institutions that care
3.    For individuals, giving is already the new taking, and sharing is the new giving

When it comes to the GENERATION G (that's G for Generosity, not Greed), there’s no better way for a branding in 2011 to put its money where its mouth (or heart) is than engaging in Random Acts of Kindness (R.A.K.). Consumers' cravings for realness, for the human touch, ensure that everything from brands randomly picking up the tab to sending a surprise gift will be one of the most effective ways to connect with (potential) customers in 2011.

For brands, a serious (and sincere) R.A.K. strategy may mean no longer being seen as inflexible and unwieldy, but as more compassionate and charismatic instead. Something which is of course, priceless and actually fun to do.

Fueling the R.A.K. trend is brands’ ability to actually know what’s happening in consumers’ lives (good or bad!), as people publicly disclose (from Facebook to Twitter) more and more about their daily lives, their moods or their whereabouts.

Social networks also enable acts of kindness to spread far beyond its recipients, as they will gladly tell their friends and followers about the unexpected good news.

Joining GENERATION G as a company or a brand is not really optional, it’s a fundamental requirement if you want to stay relevant in societies that value generosity, sharing and collaboration. Joining obviously entails more than adding a social responsibility; it means adopting a generous mindset that permeates every interaction with your community, with your employees, with your customers, with, wait for it, your ‘stakeholders’. Nothing more or less than a holistic approach* to generosity and business.

The benefits?
•    It doesn’t hurt that in turbulent times like now, generosity will find an extra-appreciative audience, and certainly won't be forgotten.
•    Not only will your customers be more appreciative, they'll also return your favors by being more willing to spread the word about you. And being more willing to collaborate with you, co-creating or co-inventing or co-improving.
•    And last but not least, to manage a company with a caring, generous mindset can actually be good for your soul, too ;-)  Source: www.trendwatching.com.

So…It’s time we get started on our 2011 branding projects and whatever you do, do it generously!

Service: Engaging Your Customers in a Digital World

         (Quality Insider by: Hal Holubik & Tours D’ Force)

"Take Action!" I don’t care what type of business you’re in, what you’re selling, or where you are in your strategic plan, the goal of your marketing message is to motivate your prospects into taking the next step. Today, companies are going to greater lengths to capture their customers' attention and win their loyalty—They are joining social network sites, they’re blogging, they’re building fan pages, they’re finding new places where their brands can be seen—but are they talking with their customers, are they getting to know their customers, are they talking to their staff to get customer insights, are they asking their customers for feedback as to how they might improve their services. One of the most powerful components to engage customers is sometimes the most undervalued: customer service.

Looking for a ways to engage customers with Tours D’ Force, a Lenawee County virtual tour company began a search for other companies that had already established customer service standards to see what their experiences were.

First they searched Google for “small business with customer service standards” and the results were surprising.

The first three page results were as follows: there were no small business companies listed in the search results. The majority were informational websites which occupied 99% of the results. The balance a government site (The Dept. of Energy).

So they then searched Google for “virtual tour customer standards” and found only 2 individual virtual tour providers (Real Vision Studio & Nova Scotia Virtual Tours – Hats off …, to you!) had made mention of customer service standards.

Coming from a quality background Hal Holubik, Owner/Operator of Toursdforce expected the search results to be dominated by or at least making reference to company customer service standards. But he was completely WRONG.

He really thought that there would be many companies that had established customer service standards and that they would publish them. WRONG again. Why don’t more companies create and publish standards of service for the whole world to see. Wouldn’t you think that if they did that they would have more loyal customers?

Here are some reasons why they should.

Your customer service standards will help your entire operation perform better and keep your practices repeatable. Your customer service standard should define your brand and give customers a reason for doing business with you.

Your customer service standards will tell your customers that you have a system in place and what it is that you’ll do for them, how you will treat them and what they should expect from you. There a way to tell the world why your company is better than any other company out there. They show your customers how you will do something for them that no other company will.

Standards provide a practical framework for small business owners and employees to examine, review, and continuously improve any area of a business. Investing time in creating customer service standards leads to increased operational efficiency, improved customer services, increased sales, higher returns, and greater profitability.

I hope that you can see that well-crafted followed and publicized customer service standards can be a valuable engagement opportunity for your company.

The truth is that service matters to people, especially in an economy where consumers are thinking as much as ever about which companies deserve their hard earned cash.

As a matter of fact, a recent study from RightNow.com that measured how much more people are willing to spend to get better customer service revealed that 85% of people are willing to spend more money to get better service, with 76 percent willing to pay about 5 percent more to be assured that the customer service they receive is good. More than half (55 percent) would pay a 10 percent premium on the product price to be assured of a higher level of service. But a small number (10 percent) would be willing to ante up 25 percent more for better service.

According to the RightNow survey; word of mouth is the one form of advertising that can't be bought. Maybe it can't be bought with hard currency, but it can, apparently, be bought with good service. Their research found that consumers are far more forgiving if a company has earned their trust over time. In fact, almost nine-in-ten consumers are willing to give a company a second chance after a bad experience if they've historically experienced great customer service with that company.

That goes right back to why it's so critical that companies listen to what customers are saying and are responsive to their needs. The insights a company gains by listening closely to its customers will help it deliver better service and create an environment where customers are inclined to stay loyal even when things aren't perfect.

And when it comes to showing customers why they should “choose you”—customer service is the best strategy of all.

Don’t you think it’s time to take a look at your customer service policies and procedures?

Are you offering your customers the whole enchilada?

The term “whole enchilada” dates back to about 1960. Like, “the whole nine yards,’ the term mean that everything is in there.

Why “enchilada”? Because there’s a BIG deal in it!

A total menu, you can order the complete meal or ala Carte. Starting with an appetizer and later, an entrée!
“Productizing” a service business
One of the best ways to innovate a service business is to “productize” your offering. Make the intangible tangible. Consumers are very accustomed to buying from a range of predefined offerings - think McDonalds combo packs, a burger, fries, and a drink.
Productizing services makes them easier to buy. It creates distinct advantage over other service providers and enhances your over-all service profitability.
For example, Tours D’ Force a Lenawee County Virtual Tour Company who specializes in promotional media services. Toursdforce has a limited range of choices that are available to clients. The deliverables that are available from each offering are limited and the desired deliverables have been packaged into a pre-defined and stratified set of offerings. They’ve dramatically curbed customization in the sales cycle and positioned the sales cycle for value-add up-sells that will help increase their profitability. Most importantly Tours d’ force’s clients know about and can match budgets against a published price set for each offering.
Visit: http://toursdforce.com/pricing.html to see how Toursdforce has productized their residential property marketing services, and http://toursdforce.com/commercial.html for their commercial cliental.
This ham-handed term simply means that you make your service look more like a product, so that it becomes easier for your clients to buy. You give it a defined scope, assign it a definite price tag, and attach a distinctive name.
Turning a service into a physical product allows you to create a passive revenue stream, reach a larger audience and demonstrate your expertise.
There are many firms who simply cannot package their offerings. But for those whom this strategy makes sense, the guideline below is an effective approach that Tours D’ Force used for their clients.
How To Productize Offerings
1. Base your offerings on previous experience. Analyze sales looking for trends in deliverables, pricing, and profits.
2. Layer these into 3-5 levels of service, deliverables, and price where profits are guaranteed at each level.
3. Fix price the offering. When someone buys a product, they need to know the exact price up front. Even if you are intending to have the offering as a free value-add to a larger purchase – putting a price on it demonstrates the value the customer is getting.
4. Be clear about the benefits to the client. Document the value proposition of the offerings. Create a compelling story about each offering to help clients understand the range of solution and expect win-results associated with ascending price and value from least expensive to most expensive.
5. Be crystal clear which activities occur during the engagement.
6. List you’re up-sells options for all levels and ensure they can be delivered profitably at any level.
7. Roll out offerings to customer’s first, get feedback from clients on your new service packages, and make adjustments to offerings as needed.
8. Take them to market.
“Servicizing” a product business
Having a product to sell - rather than a service - may sound like earthly paradise, but unless you wrap and deliver your product with a unique approach to service, you stand to be just another commodity, and your margins may be ground down to merrily nothing. Why do people drive halfway across the city to fill up on gas that is one cent less per gallon? Because fuel is a commodity, and nobody actually believes there is a difference between Amoco BP’s Ultimate and Meijer’s (generic) premium 93.
Today in 2010, people line up every day at a Starbucks to gladly pay $5 for a Starbucks cup of coffee. . So how did Howard Schultz and Starbucks do it? How did they get people, who used to pay 50 cents for a cup of coffee, to fork over ten times that amount? What did they do? Hint: It’s not about the coffee. They did packaging. They created their own coffee language and customized each beverage and added enough service to its offering to avoid commoditization. Likewise, I pay nearly $150 for tennis shoes at the Foot Solutions instead of buying the same shoe online for $100. Why? Because I like the personalized service I get from the Foot Solutions: their skilled fitting professionals provide solutions with a broad range of footwear and the most innovative arch supports and custom orthotics on the market today. They devote 30-45 minutes on average with each client and they have a high rate of success in minimizing and/or totally alleviating foot and foot-related pain and discomfort.
You can make a $5 cup of Joe too, offer your clients the whole enchilada, which means making your service companies look more like a product company and your product company more like a service company.

Prime Time for Internet Marketing!

Blissfield, MI. (Lenawee County) November 6, 2010

Has the Prime Time for internet advertising arrived for businesses? Hal Holubik thinks so. Hal Holubik is a leading provider of online virtual tours, property marketing services, lead generation, branding, search engine management, and promotional media. This Lenawee County based virtual tour company has been a provider of Internet marketing services since August 2009. At that time, the company partnered with RTV (Real Tour Vision) in an effort to provide the best products and services possible. RTV combines all aspects to provide a more comprehensive approach to increasing customer awareness.

The experienced staff at RTV is comprised of experts with over 15 years of experience. RTV is recognized as the leader in virtual hardware and software in the world. They do not only train the dealers how to build High Quality virtual tours, but also how to get the maximum exposure on the Internet through cooperation with All of the Team at RTV. No other company or property marketing solution can match their level of property marketing exposure simply because they do not have access to RTV’s network of actively social networking business owners.

Bottom line, the goal at Tours D’ Force is to maximize real estate agents and business owners’ Return on Investment (ROI). Tours D’ Force secures the latest technology and uses the latest principals to increase online visitors and online sales. Their newest Tech. release, HD Fullscreen V-Slide is included with every virtual tour purchase to ensure the client's customers are provided with the best online experience. A pleasant experience will improve sales conversions and thus, increase customer revenue. Owner/ORIGINATOR of Toursdforce, Hal Holubik states simply "Only results matter."

 Tours D’ Force offers several different tour packages specifically designed for different property needs. Each package type: basic, standard, deluxe, full house, or commercial includes their ALL New HD V-side FREE of charge. Also, each employs the special techniques used by Toursdforce to maximize the amount of traffic driven to the site. The online Exposure Engine Hal Holubik utilizes assists the growing number of residential and commercial clients utilizing the Internet to increase their revenues.

During a challenging economy, Internet marketing and interactive advertising services are the most affordable way to market a business. Businesses may reach millions of customers for very little investment. Once the virtual tour is produced by Toursdforce, there is minimal upkeep required aside from the search engine optimized articles. Hal Holubik assists clients by fine-tuning their marketing strategy to ensure that they maintain a competitive edge and advantage in the industry.

Web marketing is not just about driving traffic to a website. When customers arrive to the virtual tour website from a search engine, the tour must be compelling and interesting to encourage the customer to continue viewing. The content must encourage customers to want to personally tour the property or visit the business site. Customers must feel confident in the agents/company's ability to provide the product and/or service. Hal Holubik provides this through customized business banners and logos, agent/owners photo, affiliate banners (redirecting the viewer directly to the agent/business website) and conveying tour content. Interactive Virtual Tour Advertising combines all of these aspects into one package for a comprehensive marketing solution.

Tours D’ Force provides viable solutions that will increase a agent’s/company's revenue and exposure to potential clients. When people are struggling financially, a agent’s/company's job to influence a customer to buy becomes increasingly more difficult. Agents and Companies alike must become creative to encourage clients to part with hard earned money. Hal Holubik realizes that branding and reputation are a significant part of encouraging customers to buy. Customers who feel that the agents/companies are trustworthy will purchase more products and services and remain loyal, a key to the agency's overall branding campaigns and virtual tour design for clients.

Toursdforce clients are kept informed throughout the life of the tour with weekly traffic reports with updates on progress and results. In addition to the tour specific traffic reports Tours D’ Force keeps their clients in formed on updates, new technology, marketing tips, tech tips, and more through their monthly E-Newsletter. In today’s market real estate professionals and business owners need dependable, profitable and cost effective marketing solutions to compete effectively.  The Toursdforce property marketing system is a complete virtual tour creation solution and comprehensive marketing engine designed to help real estate professionals capture more listings, service clients more efficiently and close leads rapidly.

Internet marketing is moving away from traditional monologue and making interactive media a MUST. The central goal of online marketing is ENGAGEMENT. This means getting your customer or potential client involved with your company, your products, and even your people before they pick up the phone or visit your location. When customers like what they see before actual contact is made a ‘virtual relationship’ between your company and the customer is formed via the Web. The online YOU will pre-sell your business and encourage   qualified clients and serious inquiries to reach out to your company.  This is our specialty.   Toursdforce will help your company leverage the depth and interactivity of the Web to create a memorable relationship with your potential customers worldwide, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

 Search results for phrases like “web design services”, “security services”, “advertising and design services” or "your business type" should quickly tell you there’s a lot of competition out there.

Your answer is how you differentiate your business and how you stand out in the crowd.

Inventory Tours Helps Owner Fulfill Need to Serve

Inventory Documentation Services gives owner Hal Holubik of Toursdforce, a Lenawee County virtual tour company, what he wants out of life – a great deal of satisfaction  in knowing that the service that he provides to others  will give them security and peace of mind.  With an up-to-date home or business inventory Hal Holubik’s clients have in hand the information that they will need to protect themselves if disaster does strike.

Home inventory documentation is nothing new for Toursdforce, but it is just now seeing remarkable growth. Large companies have known the value of a thorough asset list for years, and now small- to medium-sized businesses and homeowners are realizing the need as well. A thorough inventory is a great tool to help people remember, whether their loss is from a fire, burglary or natural disaster. Personal property inventories are either beneficial – if not essential – for many other reasons, some being estate planning and settlement, divorce, prenuptial agreements, taxes and valuations, moving, and buying or selling a home or business.

Experiencing is certainly the hard way to learn the value of a personal property inventory, and Holubik’s first-hand knowledge speaks for itself. His family experienced a financial loss after their garage was broken into.  Hal quickly did a visual inventory for the policy report and then was granted a 6 week extension from his insurance company to come up with a complete missing item list. One year later they’re still finding items missing that were not reported. “You simply cannot remember everything until you go to get it”, states Hal Holubik. This instance would have benefited greatly from a thoroughly prepared inventory.

Insurance Companies, Agents, law enforcement agencies, and Financial Advisors strongly recommend through documentation of personal property to ensure your family’s financial protection in the future.  Tourdforce Home Inventory Service provides a professional, reliable, third-party home and business inventory designed to maximize your claim as well as making the process smoother and faster.  In addition their service can document your personal property prior to a move or storage in the event you need to prove damage or theft.  Fire, floods, thieves or storms can take away a lifetime of memories and valuables.  Don’t add additional grief and pain by not being prepared for your insurance company.

About Toursdforce inventory documented tours. Toursdforce professional photographer has the perfect solution for you AND your valuables with their Home Inventory Tour!  They will photograph, document and securely store all of your valuables on their secure servers and onto a CD for you and one stored in your file at your insurance agency for your proof of ownership which is only a mouse click away!  Did you know that when making an insurance claim a photo is worth as much as an actual receipt to your insurance company?

Small Businesses Need Innovation – Toursdforce Has Their Solution

Small business owner Hal Holubik announces www.toursdforcer.com, the professional provider of promotional media services. Today we announce the official launch of 2011 Social Ignition course for small businesses and real estate agents. Toursdforce.com a Lenawee County virtual tour company will continue to help provide entrepreneurs with the tools necessary to increase traffic to their websites, create better SEO (search engine optimization), and of course encourage small business growth here in Lenawee County and the surrounding region.

"We recognize that small businesses need expert guidance and professional knowledge when it comes to SEO and social networking to truly become Visible," said Hal Holubik, Owner/Operator of Toursdforce.com. Our Program will help provide business owners with the steps necessary to take advantages of blogging, social networking, social bookmarking and micro blogging. Business owners willing to dedicate a little time each week WILL be able to dominate search engine results in their area, drive more traffic to their site and become a recognized leader in their field.

Hal Holubik has been helping small businesses with online marketing and social media for over three years. "What started as a hobby has now turned into a home based business," says Hal Holubik. The popular YouTube website has helped this and many other small businesses streamline promotional products and services to potential customers through the World Wide Web.

Google has also played an important role in his entrepreneur success. Hal Holubik states, "I enjoy helping small business owners and real estate agents write relevant and quality content enabling Google perform it magic and bring them up on first page search results. Small businesses continue to understand the importance of online marketing and social media and how Google helps people find information through their web based search engine results.”

Today, it’s impossible to separate social media from the online world. Facebook reached 350 million users in 2009 – and it accounts for 25% of the Web’s traffic, according to Pew nearly one in five people on the web use Twitter or some other service to check status messages, and 94% of enterprises plan to maintain or increase their investment in enterprise social media tools. The social media conversation is no longer considered a Web 2.0 fad – it’s taking place in homes, small businesses and corporate settings, and extending its reach into nonprofit, education and health sectors. People now speak of social media as simply another channel or tactic to bring more people to their websites.

As new businesses grow and develop, social media innovation will no longer be limited by technology. Companies will need to look to innovate the way they use existing technology, rather than focusing on technology enhancements themselves. Small businesses will need to look to new ways of turning information into wisdom and insight into action. According to Hal Holubik, "Times are tough and forcing many small businesses into making cuts. However, this is the time for businesses to invest in innovation and web based services to help customers understand their mission and to gain the competitive edge."

Agents Mobile Websites

 This is an amazing opportunity for Lenawee and Monroe County Real Estate Agents to really connect with their potential clients, to offer a service that they will love, and promote your listings at the same time!

In an effort to continue to provide agents with the best tools and information available in the industry, Toursdforce has introduced a new service that will improve an agent's productivity, professionalism, and relationships with buyers and sellers. It's important to note that access to real estate listing information while on-the-go has become mission critical to today's active buyer. Mobile Websites for Realtors is an industry first that not only helps meet the ever increasing demands of mobile buyers but promotes the name and brand of the agent while saving them time and money.

Some of you may not be aware of this yet but accessing the internet on a mobile phone is like night and day vs. using a standard website. Unless a website is specifically built to work on all operating systems and for each of the thousands of mobile phone handsets, it will be a difficult browsing experience for any user. The mobile phone is here to stay and as they get smarter and smarter, and people continue to access the mobile web, real estate agents, as well as other businesses, need a mobile formatted website to continue to capture users and promote their services.

TxTConnect's mobile solutions help real estate professionals to win more listings, acquire more leads and close more sales, bottom line, make more money.

Mobile Websites for Realtors is the most exciting marketing tool for real estate agents available today. It puts all of an agent's listings in the hand of an active buyer at a time when it is most advantageous. The built in GPS functionality will also identify the nearest properties available to where the buyer is when it is checked.  This added feature makes it so much more convenient for a buyer to view an agent's other properties nearby for sale.

The mobile site is created automatically and gives buyers instant access to the agent's bio, photo and contact info. In addition, the site promotes the virtual tour of every property listed by that agent.

So why would you want to pitch the mobile site?
1. Perfect way to promote your virtual tours.

2. Raises the profile of the agent using the service.

3. It is the most advanced tool on the market today to appeal to the mobile buyer.

4. Every listing is displayed with a location map plotting all their listings, a video or virtual tour upload option, up to 10 photos, GPS activation, a full property description and "Click-to-call" links to contact the agent by SMS/Text, Email or Phone.

5. Plus, it is all automatically created as they upload their listings and they are live within just a few minutes!

6. Buyers access this mobile site either by using 1 single SMS/Text keyword or by an automatically generated QR barcode we create in each account. They can then promote either of these in all their ads, signs, TV, radio, business cards, etc, etc.

7. Custom colors they can select for most of the major brokerages.

8. Like our other SMS/text keyword service for unique property codes, this too captures leads of all inquiries.

How much you ask? You say this looks and feels just like an iPhone App? iPhone Apps typically start at $15,000 and most mobile websites start around $5,000. Get this, $29.95 per month! That's it! (Really, no catches).

So are you ready to connect with your potential clients like never before, offer a service that they will love, and promote yourself and your listings at the same time! Contact your Lenawee and Monroe county virtual tour provider Toursdforce, Today!

ToursDForce Virtual Tours Now With iPad & SmartPhone Support

Toursdforce Standalone Slideshows - Are now LIVE!

We are very excited to have released our standalone version of our HD slideshow in August. That's right; you can now purchase our Standalone Slideshow Module with up to 60 Scenes.   . 

We are thrilled with this new technology and our clients love it as well.

                                  

We have had an incredible response to the Slideshow Module.  Customers and dealers alike love the look, the features, the transitions, etc.  The new standalone slide show offers a whole new world of photography options.  With primarily still photography in the slideshow we need to grab the attention of the viewer so it’s time to get creative.

No longer are we bound to just capturing the views and amenities that a property has to offer.  Now it is time to capture the heart of the viewer with photography that entices, intrigues, and touches the senses with art and appeal. 

So how does the standalone slideshow differ from the slideshow?  Well first off, every time you create an interactive Virtual Tour, we also create an HD Slideshow for that same property address.  We use the same images as your HD virtual tour and have the ability to select up to 30 additional HD images not already in your virtual tour.

With our Standalone HD Slideshow Module you can create UNLIMITED slideshows.  Soon enough these slideshows will go to Realtor.com and get a weekly hit report JUST LIKE OUR TOURS!

Toursdforce now offer a technologically elegant and slick presentation with 20 still photographs which I professionally shoot for $69.00.

We also offer a self-service for $29!  Send us up to 20 of your best high resolution still photos, not less than 700kb per file, and we'll create an HD V-Slide for you.

                             


And, here’s yet another way you can take advantage of our Stand-Alone Slide-Show Module.  Prefer to do your own virtual tours?  Now any agent or broker in Lenawee or Monroe can now purchase our Stand-Alone Slide-Show Module and create UNLIMITED slideshows / annually on your own.

Enjoy the new technology and please feel free to contact us with any question that you have.

TDF Launches Real Estate Websites for Agents & Brokers

By now we hope you've had a chance to review the brand new Agent WebSite Program that was launched on June 14th. Here's the same announcement (revised with some newer updates) in case you missed June's article about it.

The real estate market is finally starting to show signs of life again, and here's your chance to jump in just at the right moment! With the launch of the new Agent Site Program, you can now have your own totally manageable website that automatically populates the tours that we shoot for you right into your website.

You've been asking to see what it will look like and we can now say, "Okay, here it is." This is a demo site that has been set up and filled in based on information graciously provided by a Realtor in Traverse City.
http://demoagent2.bytepages.com

As the owner of this site, you could log into a management section and change any of your colors, swap your template for another, change any text or pictures, add or delete various types of pages, manually add listings other than the ones already being automatically populated, add Google Analytics, and more.  Keep in mind that as we create virtual tours for our customers, your virtual tours will automatically be added to this site via an auto feed that we have in place with the RTV virtual tour servers.

So how do get one of these sites? We have created a sales site for you for that purpose. With this link http://agentsites.bytepages.com/ you will get an extremely reasonably priced website, all ready for your own personalized content, in a matter of three days max. By the time we shoot another tour for you, your site will be live.

Do you already have a website?  No problem!  These websites are so inexpensive they make a perfect secondary website for agents and brokers who are sitting on unused or forwarded domain names.  Many agents now days have two or more domain names which makes our new virtual tour fed sites a must have for any proactive agent.

Is your brand ready for the new competition...?

Online Virtual Tour Web Marketing

Knowing about proven SEO strategies and how search engines find and rank web sites today is the key 

The Lenawee County virtual tour company, Tours D’ Force online virtual tours, LLC., recently added the option for our tours to be full screen, high definition. The difference between these and the typical standard definition tour is astounding! High definition videos contain one or two million pixels per frame, which is nearly five times that of standard definition images.  HD full screen virtual tours are transforming the typical virtual tour into something spectacular. We pride ourselves in harnessing the newest technologies and using them to enhance your virtual tours.

With web virtual tours and slide shows at this quality level, businesses and real estate brokers, whether large or small, will look like the leading firm in its industry. Then, by having an SEO company post the high level production to the top video websites like YouTube and many others, businesses will receive lucrative free promotion around the world. Then, when the virtual tour, slide show or video is attached to emails, clients and prospects, they are much more likely to buy.

SEO and Conversion Rates are Greatly Enhanced with Virtual Tours, Slide Shows and Videos.
The wow factor from Toursdforce is just the tip of the iceberg. What lies underneath is hidden and huge, and a tremendous search engine optimization potential for your business. YouTube is just one of the many sites your high-quality video will be featured in. The exposure to new clients AND the increase in Search Engine Ranking will help your business prosper. This is where Toursdforce internet marketing can assure any company reaches its goals.

Optimizing your Virtual Tour, Slide Show and Video
Having a great looking virtual tour containing a slide show and video is one of the powerful benefits to promote your web site and listings. Optimizing it is the key to improving your search engine rankings. There are many ways virtual tours and videos can improve a company’s web page ranking, including some of the following:

•        File names that contain search engine optimized terms. This is the back end work an SEO company does to improve rankings.
•        Your internet marketing production will be given a relevant file name which is surrounded by content related to your business.
•        The virtual tour/video relevance is determined in part by the page relevance it is placed on.
•        Place virtual tours, slide shows and videos on a web site and get direct traffic and back links to improve in the search engine rankings.

Optimizing your Virtual Tours with Keyword Analysis
How Toursdforce chooses file names for your virtual tours depends on how a web site is optimized. The goal should be to find terms that potential clients search for in finding a business or service. Find the terms that actual prospects are using, and then applying them to the web site with accompanying virtual tours. Keyword Effectiveness looks at the number of times a particular keyword is used by potential prospects to the number of pages produced by all its competitors’ web sites then identifies the best search terms.. The key is finding the keyword terms that help increase the web site's optimization.

Integration for Web Marketing with Multiple Search Engine Optimization Services
Designing a web site to get on the first page for specific search terms should be planned from the very beginning, not as an afterthought of web site design. An SEO and Web Marketing company should plan how each component will work together. The web site itself should be designed with a simple universally recognized content management program that makes its content on the web site indexed easily by web ranking spiders.

Tours D' Force virtual tours are spider friendly!

Google Blended Search Results
Google uses "blended search strategies" to rank web sites. Blended search is the greater variety of "media" one uses to higher the search engine rankings. Using and posting a video into Facebook or MySpace.

Using virtual tours to improve your rankings in various search engines and knowing about blended search and how search engines find and rank web sites today is the key. For many businesses both large and small much effort is placed in the written word to promote their web site. Thinking twice about how search engines "should" search you and think about how to balance your web site with combining various media. Adding a virtual tour is one of the most cost effective and interesting ways for new customers to find you.

Adding a Virtual Tour to E-mail marketing or E-Newsletter
Adding a virtual tour to any e-mail marketing program is considered by many to be the best marketing practice. Notify friends, colleagues, and prospects about the new virtual tour and watch it go viral.

Bringing Hollywood to Main St

Let Tours D’ Force bring a high-quality virtual tour production worth several $100’s or more, down to size. Get your FREE Toursdforce Search Engine Optimization guide with your next virtual tour and watch your web site climb in the search rankings. The Tours D’ Force company prides itself in service quality, product innovation, creativity, and technical expertise to keep small business clients successful in this new virtual world.

QR Codes for Internet Marketing

What are QR Codes?  QR codes are a 2 dimensional barcode that is readable by QR scanners, some phones with QR scanners and virtually all smart phones.  The technology was developed in Japan in 1994 by Denso Wave.  It was originally designed for to track parts for cars but recently has been adapted to the mobile marketing market.  It is used to market URLs, text messages, phone information, expanded contact information with a memo or just a long string of text (up to 3000 characters) in a way that is easy for mobile movers to capture. This technology is very prevalent in Japan and becoming more prevalent in Europe now.

The reason it is important in the US is that it is being heavily marketed by mobile marketers and people who want to make information conveniently available to phone savvy, technology savvy consumers.  The software needed to do this is also free on both the QR code generation and the on the reader side.  As a matter of fact the reader software is a staple free software of the various smart phone app stores and can be also found easily by searching  Google for “QR codes”..

Google recently got behind this technology by sending premade QR codes out to their 1000 largest clients suggesting that they embrace this technology as Google plans to promote it as well.  Through a simple file extension Google will produce a QR code for any website!

The Empire State Building recently used QR codes to activate a multimedia exhibit.

Calvin Klein has used QR codes to on billboards to activate a multimedia ad campaign in Los Angeles and New York to promote its jeans

How can a real estate agent use this to their advantage?  That is a question for the creative mind but a few places to start are on anywhere you want to market your business to people but may not want to leave information openly exposed or any place where you can introduce your company and want to provide a quick way to address a URL or message that you want to hit a phone.   Another place you may want to use it is a place where you have a web page that has constantly changing information but the URL remains the same such as a listing web page or your company blog feed.  Your interested party can come back to that QR code time after time whenever they want to see the most current update and don’t have to go through the trouble of reentering the URL.  You may want to use this tool as a vehicle to send interested people a message of up to 3000 text characters.

Exposure Elements expands on the real estate industry by leveraging the photos and YouTube videos in our mobile marketing auto-responders to provide our customers with a complete internet marketing system that includes both mobile and desktop internet marketing.  I believe that QR codes will be an integral part of a complete solution you can provide to your clients.  The technology is free on both ends (code generator and code reader) so, start introducing the technology to your clients and build your value as an internet marketing expert.

For Real Estate Professionals!

Do You Have a Mobile Site?

A mobile site means giving potential buyers direct access to ALL of your listings and having them displayed perfectly on their mobile phone. More users are discovering the power and convenience of using their mobile phones to surf the web and do everything they normally would do using a PC or laptop.

If you have a website but it is not a mobile website, your potential clients cannot see the way it should be displayed, but with a mobile website they can.

According to a recent study of potential home sellers conducted by Philadelphia based research firm Devine and Powers, 49% of respondents said they would be more likely to use an agent who offered a mobile solution as part of their marketing plan, while 67% said it would be a major deciding factor in choosing a Realtor.

With Our Mobile Websites, agents can raise their profile, promote their brand and appeal to more buyers, by making all of their listings conveniently and instantly available to any buyer out driving around looking at properties. You can display contact info for the Realtor including, phone number, website and email address. Additionally, active listings, including photos, listing details, YouTube Video and even mapping to all of your existing listings are instantly available.

We all know that sooner or later, every Realtor who has a web site will also need a mobile site (a mobile site is formatted to display and function properly on any smart phone) so take advantage of this opportunity to be the first in your town or office to offer this amazing new product.

You can get all your listings displayed on our mobile website for a nominal monthly fee.  Call for more information. 517-486-4209.

Soon to come, a Stand-Alone HD Slide Show Module which will allowing Tours D’ Force the ability to create slide shows independently of our V-Tours for a small fee much less than that our standard virtual tour.

Next month I will be addressing TDF Slideshow pricing, terms and describe to you in full the difference between our TDF HD Slideshow and the new Standalone TDF Slideshow module which allows you to have slideshows with unlimited scenes. Well, almost unlimited, up to 60 scenes, WOW!!  What a great opportunity for you.
