Unique Sign Riders Get Attention

Monday, July 12th, 2010


Panoramic Sign Riders Stand Out and Grab Attention

Panoramic sign riders are a great innovative marketing solution for real estate agents or For Sale By Owner properties. These riders are designed to capture the attention of passers-by and to stand out from the crowd of other real estate riders.

A drive through any neighborhood in the Shreveport/Bossier City area will reveal a host of real estate signs and their respective riders. Most of these provide information such as the listing Realtor, a phone number or maybe a website address. However, PanoRiders are not your typical sign rider. A PanoRider offers a full color, high resolution panorama of the interior of the property. Text alone is not enough any more, this sign rider will capture interest with a glimpse inside the home.  This is exceptionally great if there is a competing sign in the yard next door.  Our sign rider will make your yard sign unique and attention grabbing.Panoramic Sign Rider in Action

Once interest is peaked, a buyer can gain the information they are seeking with the single property website located on the PanoRider. This single property web address is the address of the listing itself. Once online, the buyer will see a virtual tour of the entire interior of the home along with lots of additional photos, detailed text description and the listing agent’s or owner’s contact information. But wait, there’s more.  The website is accessible from your smart phone!  How awesome is that.  It’s like marketing – with superpowers.

Next, of course, the interested buyer calls the agent and offers double the asking price for the home, then requests to bring a check by that afternoon……Ok, no, that part doesn’t really happen. But, this sign rider does generate highly interested leads.

This innovative marketing tool harnesses the power of the internet together with the power of a yard sign to gain exposure for real estate listings. If you are a real estate agent or an FSBO who wants to stand apart from the crowd while maintaining cost effective advertising, this is worth your time to investigate.  No more soggy flyers or empty flyer boxes.  Panoramic Sign Riders are full color and weather proof.

Real Estate Photography – How Important is it?

Friday, May 28th, 2010


Are the photos used to market a home important?  The general consensus is YES!  With 90% of buyers starting their search online and an overwhelming majority of those ranking the photos as a top priority, they could be the single most important thing to attract a buyer’s attention.

So this begs the question – are do it yourself photos adequate?  The photos not only speak to the property being marketed, but also to the quality of marketing being provided.  And ultimately, to the professionalism of the marketer.  Are sellers happy with photos that may pale in comparison to other properties similar to theirs?  And does this reflect upon the agent doing the marketing?

Here is what one agent in San Diego had to say.
