Tour Now was proud to be featured in the August 2005 issue of REALTOR Magazine. The magazine highlighted 11 industry-leading self-service tour packages in their Virtual Tour Buyer's Guide, and we were very pleased about how we stacked up against the competition. The guide discussed the key features of a good virtual tour, and Tour Now had all of them. Moreover, our pricing is the most flexibile and affordable around.
Below, on the left side, is an excerpt from the article detailing the key features that make a good virtual tour. Tour Now's compliance with these features is detailed on the right. Take a look for yourself!

What makes a good tour? |

Does Tour Now offer it? |

Easy navigation. An inviting tour makes it easy for visitors to find their way around a home, to quickly find pictures of specific rooms, and to zoom in on features of special interest.
|
Yes. Each of Tour Now's virtual tour designs are easy to navigate, with your choice of pulldown menus, next and previous buttons, thumbnail navigation, and auto-advancing slideshows. Zooming capability is also included for all one-click and full screen tours.
|
|
Plenty of good photos and text. Does the DIY package you’re interested in come with image-editing software or utilities to remove clutter, fix colors, or compensate for poor exposure?
|
Yes. Include an unlimited number of scenes in each tour for no additional charge, along with complete titles and text descriptions. Tour Now is compatible with most image stitching and editing programs, many of which include features to alter color, brightness, contrast, and more.
|
|
Panoramic and 360-degree images. Not every room, view, or exterior warrants this showcase but you want that option to highlight dramatic or unique features.
|
Yes. Tour Now supports any combination of 360-degree, panoramic, and still images in each tour. Also, Tour Now supports different stitching applications and one-click lenses to give you the most flexibility over how you capture your images.
|

Tracking. Where do visitors arrive fromspecific search engines? How long do they spend with your tours? What rooms or features are they most interested in? You may notice patterns that will help you make the tours as relevant to consumers as possible.
|
Yes. Tour Now provides comprehensive graphical statistics, showing how many times a tour has been viewed, when the tour was viewed, and where the traffic came from. Also, Tour Now includes a comprehensive lead management utility to help you keep track of the people who e-mail or page you from your tours.
|
|
Fast load time. Millions of people still connect to the Internet via dial-up accounts. If the tour doesn’t load quickly, they may not view it.
|
Yes. All Tour Now tours are tested for dial-up modem compatibility and are optimized for speed. You will find that our tours are some of the quickest loading on the Internet. What's more, Tour Now virtual tours don't require any additional plugins.
|
|
Price. There’s great variance on what tours cost, depending on the type of content, such as audio and additional pictures, and whether tours are displayed at real estate portals, for which some providers charge an additional fee. With turnkey creation services, especially, know what the fees cover and what they don’t, before scheduling a tour.
|
Yes. Individual Agents can choose to pay $24.95 per tour or $27.95 per month for unlimited tours. Discounts are available for brokerages and resellers, making Tour Now's prices the most affordable and flexibile around.
