Unique Internet Address for each tour makes print advertising easy
Each tour you create with your Tour Now account has it's own unique internet address to help make print advertising easier. For example, if your tour is featured tour number 3985, your tour's unique address would be www.tournow.net/show/3985. This address can be printed in newspapers or other print advertising, so prospects can quickly view your listing, without having to search for it.
If you wish, Tour Now will also help you create a specific address for very special listings. Imagine sending your clients to www.625maple.com to see the virtual tour for your listing at 625 Maple Street.
You can do the same thing with your tour inventory page. Check out how one of our customers did this at www.kimfinktours.com.

Tour Now can work for you, even if you don't have a website
For Realtors and Brokers without websites, Tour Now offers a free service called FeaturedTour.com. Every tour created with the Tour Now system is assigned a featured tour number. If this number is typed into the field on the FeaturedTour.com website, the corresponding tour will automatically open. A print advertisement that references this service might conclude with: To view a Virtual Tour, go to www.featuredtour.com, tour number 34367. Click here to see an example of such a print ad.

Create a Flyer for your listing automatically
Many virtual tour providers stop working for you once a tour has been created, but not Tour Now. Once you've created a tour, you can use the images and information you've uploaded to create a listing flyer that can be printed on your home or office printer, and given to prospects at open houses and appointments. Creating a flyer for your listing takes less than a minute with Tour Now! Click here to see a sample flyer created with the Tour Now system.

Download a virtual tour to disk or CD-ROM
One of the newest and most exciting features available in the Tour Now system is the ability to download your tour to a disk or CD-ROM. This can be useful for a number of reasons. First, many Realtors with laptops like to bring virtual tours with them to their listing appointments, and downloading a tour to your computer means you won't have to connect to the Internet to view it. Second, downloading a tour to a disk and giving it to an interested client for use on their home computer, can give the client a tangible tool for helping them make the right purchase decision. This is a particularly helpful feature for relocation prospects who would like to take something with them when they leave town that will help them make a shared decision. Third, giving a potential seller a CD-ROM disc with an example of the virtual tours you create for your clients, is a powerful example of how you will go the extra mile for them, and finally, a virtual tour on disc is the perfect closing gift for any client, and since it contains your photo and contact information, it's an excellent way to get referrals!
