I am pleased to announce we have changed our sign rider process, for the better. In the past, we acted as a middleman to place orders with a sign vendor. Now, we are directing you to ABetterSign.com, a Georgia company that can ship signs anywhere in the United States. The benefits of this arrangement are many:
Lower Price – signs are now $10.40, so with shipping, you can get a sign for around $20. We do not make any money on the sign….so you save at least $10 a sign. Plus, since we are no longer the “merchant” there is no sales tax.
Higher Quality – we have narrowed the material choice to a new Duraplast material which is a solid plastic sign that is similar to wood. No more corrugated plastic! It is a very nice, solid material and will stand up to a lot of weather.
More Customization – now, you can pick from different templates and customize the sign EXACTLY to how you want it. You can upload an image of the house, of you, or just have a direct link to the virtual tour. You can also pick different sign sizes and colors. How it looks is up to you and they have an easy to use online design tool. You can save your initial design and then reuse it for different tours in the future.
The new process might take a few more minutes, since you will need to enter your shipping and billing info with Abettersign. But you can save your information by creating an account. Overall, we think you will be much happier with the end product at a great price, and that is what matters most! If you want to save even more money, get a few signs with www.FloorPlanOnline.com/_____ and fill in the blanks with numbers that can be resued.
Why get a sign rider? According to the National Association of Realtors’ Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers 2009 report, 59% of respondents quoted the Yard Sign as an information source used frequently or occasionally. Of course, 90% said the Internet was used as a source! We provide a basic mobile tour for every listing….so let people see some basic info while they are driving by….which can lead them back to you! Plus, it can save on printing costs with flyers if they can get the basic stuff at the “point of browsing” without a piece of paper. And did I mention, it is greener too!
To place a sign order, just select Order Now once you confirm a new tour order, or go to Manage Orders, and click the “view” link under Tour Upgrades, then the Order Now button for Sign Riders. A new web page will open to ABetterSign.com and you can create your new sign!
We are pleased to announce that the new, FPO 2.0 Virtual Tour format is live. The new tour format will apply to all tour orders placed on or after May 1, 2010.
See an overview video below or check out the FAQs to get answers to some common questions.
It is that time of the year again when we dust off our expense receipts and try to collect things for our tax returns!
Regarding your FloorPlanOnline virtual tours, each tour has an invoice online that you can print as a receipt. Just login, go to Manage Orders, and then click the “view” link under Marketing Materials. The last button on the page is View Invoice. Click that and you can see the charges (there is a date stamp next to each charge) and print the invoice for your records (note a link to the invoice is also in the email we send you for reviewing the draft tour, as well as under Edit Order from the Manage Order page).
If you have an older tour, you can always see the invoice, even if the tour has been archived because it is older than 1 year. You can either go to one of your more recent tour invoices and replace the order_id= with the older ID for the older tour, or use this link and replace the order_id= and the member_id= with your information (where the red x’s are in the link below).
I have to say I have just gone through my first listing in my Real Estate Career. In my prior career I worked for a large WW wellknown Vendor and I was a product manager for technology products. I am so impressed with the toolset, quality of service the product and processes deliver, and especially the customer service. This has been the best value and service I have leveraged in my Real Estate Career and I can not imagine not doing a listing without IT!! Your team is doing a GRAND job and I had fabulous responses from Tree and Elena on the questions I submitted with immediate response time. Thanks again. Tami
I have talked to a lot of customers recently about situations where they have multiple accounts and need access to those account. So I wanted to let you know we support what we call a Corporate/Sub Account structure. Normally, when you register with us, you create an individual account. However, you can create a corporate account, and then once you have a corporate account, you can create sub accounts (this is done in the corporate account under the Manage Sub Accounts on the right when you are logged in), or with the corporate account info, an agent can create a sub account underneath your corporate account. All they need is the Company customer ID and the company password. The option to register as a sub account is located on our registration page, or click here.
With the Corporate/Sub account structure, you can have one person manage the office tours, for example, but each agent can get access into their own account. The corporate account sees all tours for each sub account. You can also place tour orders out of the corporate account for any sub-account. Just select the drop-down on page 2 as you are placing an order. This account structure is quite handy for companies that do some of the work for agents.
We can also set things up so the corporate account pays for all sub account tours. Please call us at 866-810-3816, option 3 if you would like to set up a corporate/sub account structure or you can always send us an email. Just use the form below.
We are pleased to announce the addition of two great listing tools for you to use under the Tools menu option from our main website. We have added 14 different company branded Listing Presentation Templates as well as a generic presentation you can use to customize for your own brand if we do not have it listed. Just make the applicable edits to the different pages and save. We provide both a PowerPoint and Google Docs version. You can either print the materials out, or save to your computer and take your laptop with your and use as a tool to showcase how you will use FloorPlanOnline to market the seller’s home! you can also embed the Google doc version right into your website, just like below…so you can provide some key information to users browsing your site.
In addition, we added two printable one-page handouts on FloorPlanOnline under Tools>Marketing Downloads. One is for the Seller that you can leave as a handout and the other is something you can print out and hang up at your office.
Agents that have incorporated the FloorPlanOnline Marketing System into their listing presentations often get the listing – EVERY TIME! It can help demonstrate to the Seller that you know how to market a home, and in the most important place – ONLINE. After all, 96% of buyers in the key buying group use the Internet to search for homes. Don’t let your seller’s home be left out!
