BlueLaVaMedia, producer of Traverse City Virtual Tours is very pleased to announce the release of our brand new Social Networking Utility that is now integrated right into our virtual tour window!
This newest addition to our already robust virtual tour will allow anyone to quickly add their favorite virtual tours to popular social bookmarking sites such as FaceBook, MySpace, Digg, LinkedIn, Twitter, Delicious, FriendFeed, Furl, Backflip, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Technorati, Mixx, and Bebo. As many already know BlueLaVaMedia currently has a well established distribution tool called our Exposure Engine which sends real estate virtual tours to 98 real estate portal sites and now also converts virtual tours to a video format for enhanced video distribution.

We are very excited to have this unique social bookmarking distribution tool in place and accompanying our already extreme virtual tour exposure. Typically tours sent through our Exposure Engine receive thirty to fifty percent more traffic than those not sent. This new tool is sure to elevate that number since literally anyone on the web can instantly share our tours across social networking sites. We know that now more than ever, real estate agents and business owners alike need powerful marketing tools like this to remain competitive.
This latest enhancement gives our customers a competitive edge and the kind of visibility they need in this aggressive market. Furthermore, we are planning on holding FREE extended education classes for any of our customers that would like to learn more about getting the most out of their online virtual tours via a webinar / phone session sometime soon in 2009. The webinar will teach local real estate agents the importance of social networking and some of BlueLaVa's secret SEO tips that will place them ahead of their competitors in the rankings on google and other major search engines.

BlueLaVaMedia proudly announces the Insurance Documentation Virtual Tour Service! Did you know that when making an insurance claim a photo is worth as much as an actual receipt to your insurance company? For the last ten years I have been hearing our virtual tour providers around the world show growing interest with the concept of the “home inventory tour”. To date only a few have actually put a program like this together.
Now we are very pleased to announce that after many meetings with Traverse City insurance companies BlueLaVaMedia has officially launched our Insurance Virtual Tours. You can read more about this exciting new addition to our tour offering by visiting our home inventory virtual tour page found here: Traverse City Insurance Virtual Tours
“As we get closer and closer to the winter here in Northern Michigan it will be more important than ever to diversify as much as possible. Summer was great and filled with a good amount of real estate tours and commercial / business virtual tours. With this new addition to our product offering I plan on staying busy all Winter long especially with the incredible feedback that I have been getting from the insurance companies and adjusters. Basically as long as Jason keep coming up with these new income streams for our product I don’t see things slowing down that much!” said Jim Blue, manager and virtual tour coordinator of BlueLaVaMedia.
Each Home Inventory Tours Includes:
Up to 30 Rooms featured of your choice
Both 360 panoramic and still images
One full year of secure tour hosting
2 Virtual tour CD's for off site storage

BlueLaVaMedia producer of Traverse City Virtual Tours is proud to announce our Tour Sticker marketing blast which is the latest addition to our virtual tour marketing program. What is a tour sticker you say? You should ask Susan Hintz a Traverse City real estate agent about the tour sticker.
Back in the day tour stickers were SO popular that Susan would get in trouble if she forgot to leave one behind on the listing sign. In fact, back in early days, Real Tour Vision actually sold virtual tour stickers by the hundreds to virtual tour providers all over the world who then turned around and placed these little vinyl stickers onto the real estate yard signs of every home that received an interactive 360 virtual tour.
What happened to the tour sticker? Well that is a very good questions to ask indeed. First of all RTV stopped selling tour stickers because they were not branding the dealers as much as they were RTV. When RTV stopped selling the stickers new virtual tour providers did not know of their existence. At that time we had no marketing department so the tour sticker simply disappeared from existence altogether only to be remembered by few. While the tour sticker has been lost in RTV past it has certainly not been forgotten and by golly Jim and I are fired up to bring it back!
Here is how the little virtual tour sticker worked back in the day and can still work for you and your virtual tour company today:
First you will want to download the new non branded virtual tour sticker from the RTV site that found here (or make your own):
As a side note there are some pretty nice images on that site that you can use for your virtual tour company like I have done here:
Traverse City Virtual Tour Linking
Next give Bill Modzel (or your favorite screen printer person) a call from Modzel Screen printing and design. Traverse City Screen Printing
Just tell Bill that you would like the same virtual tour sticker printed out that Jason at BlueLaVaMedia had made and he will hook you up with a very sleek vinyl sticker that measures about five inches by five inches. The stickers do cost a bit to produce but you will have the honor of telling your customers that the stickers will not fade in the sun, bake on in the heat or flake off in the bitter winter cold. In fact the stickers easily peel off years after being in place without destroying the real estate listing sign.
Next you will want to announce to ALL of your real estate virtual tour customers that after completing each virtual tour you will be placing an attractive virtual tour sticker onto the listing sign. You will find that some real estate agents will want to place these stickers on themselves while others will be fine with you placing the sticker on yourself. Just use your best judgment and don’t cover up any letters or images!
To date Jim and I have yet to find a single customer that refused the placement of our sticker. Can you guess why this is the case? Of course you can!! It’s because virtual tours are a sense of great pride for home sellers AND the real estate agents who use them. The more tour stickers that start showing up all around your town…the more people start asking about using virtual tours to sell their homes faster. That my friends is secret of the tour sticker. It works great for you AND your customers. Now go get some and happy sticking to you all!
