How to get the virtual tour into the hands of home buyers?

How to get the virtual tour into the hands of home buyers?
Answer: Get the link in as many hands as possible.
Online
Make sure the virtual tour is linked to your personal and brokerage websites. You will also want to get the tour on your local MLS and any other local website frequented by consumers and real estate agents. If you have any questions with linking, call our office: (910) 269-8533 or email: mail@a1virtualtours.
Print
Whenever your listing appears in print, the tour link should appear as well. Links should be found in flyers, newspaper ads, magazine ads, etc. Many people look for homes in newspapers or magazines. By simply placing the link in your printed materials, you not only direct people to your tour, but also to all of your other tours and to your personal website.
Signs
Make sure you have a sign in front of the property that directs passersby to the virtual tour. When driving by a property, a potential home buyer only gets to see what the outside of the house looks like. This gives them a chance to tour the inside as well.
Email
Email the link to all of your contacts. Request that they forward the link on to anyone they know that may be looking for a home. They can send it quickly using A1 Virtual Tours 'Mail to a Friend' button located on the tour.

Usually great results occur, when you actively promote your virtual tours in all of your marketing.
