New Tour Highlights Beta Feature

We are excited to highlight new FPO tools and one Beta Tool on the FloorPlanOnline “Tour of the Week” Today.

The FPO Custom Hotspot tool launched this month and allows agents to link youtube video, neighborhood websites or other FPO tours directly on the interactive floorplan.  On this tour the hotspot tool is used three times to link various other content. Two “house” type hotspot icons on the right side of the floorplan take you to a tour of the area Clubhouse and amenity’s.  The second “house” hotspot links to the Naperville Park district website.  Imagine how buyers will appreciate the custom information and ease of use.

Live the Naperville luxury Lifestyle in this Brick Home - The FloorPlanOnline Tour of the Week.

Statistically Neighborhood Quality is the number one factor in deciding on a property (according this years NAR data).  Thus  – the more you can highlight about the quality of the neighborhood the better.

Secondly, the longer a visitor stays looking at a listing online, the more emotionally attached they become to the property.  With the Beta FloorPlaner tool (gray icon to the left of the floorplan) buyers may select furnishings and move them into the home digitally.  Select a couch, chair or lamp, and drag, rotate and click it into place.  Its still in Beta testing, so not bug free – but a cool look at the possibility’s.  Test the new tool here or on the tour above and give us your feedback!

Finally, we introduced the mouse over feature on all listings as well.  Simply mouse over the camera icon on the floorplan to view a thumb nail or click it to view the large photo.

This listing is in Naperville IL, (Chicago Suburb) and located at www.floorplanonline.com/56464

If you wish to volunteer one of your upcoming listings for future Beta testing send an email to chris@floorplanonline.com.

FloorPlanner Tool…Sneak Preview

Hi FloorPlanOnline users.
I wanted to give you a sneak preview of a floorplanner tool we are working on and get your thoughts. Can you review the tool below and then complete the poll on what you think. We are working to bring this, and some other exciting enhancements, to our tours soon. The embedded version is below, or Click Here to see the full screen version (so the icon library is not over the plan as in this embedded version).


Mouse Over & Embed Enhancements

Mouse Over with Photo Thumbnails. Today, we released a small but useful feature – Photo Mouse Over. Now, when you are viewing an Interactive FloorPlan Tour, you can mouse over a camera icon and a small thumbnail image of the photo will pop-up next to the camera icon. Click, and the photo will change on the left. This new feature will allow users to quickly preview photos of interest, and then click to get a larger view.  It is available and live today on all tours – you do not need to do anything!

Embedded Object Enhancement. We have also enhanced the embeddable object for the Interactive FloorPlan to include the mouse over feature, although a larger size photo does show. In addition, we have included navigation buttons on the photos to allow for easier navigation between photos – just click the arrow buttons to go forward or back.  The old way required you to click a camera icon, then close it, and then click another camera to navigate between photos.  This new feature should make it much faster to view photos on the embeddable FloorPlan Tours.

You can easily add an Embeddable FloorPlan Tour to your blog sites or on many company sites (like Windermere, John L Scott, Coldwell Banker Bain, and others).  Just think of the SEO benefits of creating a blog post for each of your listings – name the Post the address of your listing, add your marketing text, and then include the embeddable FloorPlan Tour.  You can also add the video if you want as well!  It adds more content to your website, keeps browsers there longer and turns them into buyers!

To configure your tour’s embeddable objects, just go to Manage Orders, then click the View link under Marketing Materials, then click the Embeddable Object button to get to the set-up page. You can change the colors of the buttons and the text on the buttons, and you can elect to show a “Full Tour” button (or change it to other text), which when clicked, will open a new window with the complete branded tour.  All you need to do when you have completed your customization is hit the Apply button, then click the link above the code and right click your mouse to copy the embeddable object code. Then, go to your blog or listing detail page for your listing and right click your mouse to paste the code in the desired location. Add additional explanatory text on top or below the code, and save. That is it! It is cool, effective, and keeps the buyer on your website longer to become a buyer!

Just try the example below to see how it works.

Holiday Sale!

Seasons Greetings!

To celebrate the Holiday Season and to show our appreciation, we are providing our great customers a special offer. Save $10 on any tour during December by using code Dec2009 in the coupon code field when you place an order. The offer is valid for only one tour per account, must be used when you place a tour order, and the code expires December 31, 2009.Holiday Sale

In addition, we are introducing the Value Pack Offer. If you prepay for a certain number of self service tours, you can save anywhere from $5 to $25 per tour, depending on how many tours you pre-buy. While the discount is based on self service tours, you can use the coupon on any tour type or service level. For customers in North Carolina and Washington, we may be able to offer you larger discounts.  The coupons expire 1 year from the date they were created.

This is how it works, just prepay for a Value Pack Offer of 5, 10, 25 or 50 tours, and we will provide you with a coupon code good for the value of the Value Pack you purchased. For example, if you bought the 25 Value Pack for FloorPlan Tours, it will cost you $975, but your total tour value is $1,475, a total discount of $500 and $20 off each tour!
