Why Aren’t Buyers Calling From My Video??

Because some of you make it very hard for buyers to do so!   You want prospective buyers to contact you after seeing your PropertyPreviews video, right? Make it easier for them by adding your telephone contact information in the Phone Book section of your profile.

We do NOT recommend ONLY putting it in the property details for a few reasons:

1.  Other Sites Can’t See It. When we syndicate listings to other sites, they want to display your telephone number(s) and if they are not in the Phone Book, it harder for prospects to find you. A blank will be where they expect your phone number.

2.  Potential MLS Issues. You may violate your local MLS rules by “branding” your listing with your name and or telephone number within the property details.  If you use the Phone Book, we automatically suppress information that may get you in trouble with your MLS.

3.   ePostcard Issues. Your PropertyPreviews ePostcard webpage won’t show your telephone number where buyers expect to see it, and that only hurts you and your sellers.   You drive traffic to this page, so have complete contact info on it for buyers to reach you.

Go ahead and update your Phone Book, and your ePostcard will be updated immediately, as will all sites that received the link to your ePostcard.   Other sites may take a day or two for the new data to be refreshed.  Going forward, all your new videos will have the correct information with no further action on your part.   You can always change, update or add telephone numbers to your Phone Book.

To take full advantage of your PropertyPreviews video, and the power of the marketing we can do for you, please use the Phone Book features in your profile to make it easier for prospects to contact you!

Eye-Fi’s iPhone app. Send photos on your iPhone to PropertyPreviews.com

Eye-Fi announced at Macworld that they will be releasing a free iPhone app for users that currently own a Eye-Fi card.  PropertyPreviews happens to be a distribution site for Eye-Fi users.  If you have not tried Eye-Fi it is certainly a great product. If you are taking a lot of photos on the run and would like to streamline your photo upload process, give it a try.  Better yet give it a try with PropertyPreviews.com!!

The new application will let users aggregate all of their photos – from both an iPhone and a digital camera - into organized folders on a computer and to one of 25 online photo sharing and social networking Web sites. iPhone users who own an Eye-Fi card can download the free application from Apple’s App Store up

on release.

“Whether you’re snapping pictures on-the-go with an iPhone or capturing life’s important moments with a digital camera, Eye-Fi will offer one easy way to manage and share all your photos – without docking a gadget or fussing with software,” said Jef Holove, CEO for Eye-Fi. “We are solving another real-world frustration for anyone who takes photos with both devices.”

Using the Eye-Fi application, users can select which iPhone photos to upload and where to share them. As with the Eye-Fi Explore card, photos taken on an iPhone can be automatically tagged with information about where the picture was taken. Users can then view geotagged photos on a digital map and organize photos by location.
