Florida Villas and Vacation Rentals
Marketing Your Florida Villa The High Resolution Way.
Not since the dawn of the virtual tour has there been anything which offered the Florida villa owner the means to market their investment in a new and unique way.
Although the initial cost involved in having a virtual tour made ready for use was and still is fairly expensive, it is something, which remains worthwhile over a long period of time.
So while many property owners have taken up the opportunity of showcasing the interior of their homes, there have been very few viable and worth while options, which allow owners to do the same with regards to showing of their properties external attributes. That is until now.
Microsoft Virtual Earth offers unparalleled high quality imagery, the likes of which, many owners have never had the use of, without incurring yet another cost. Unlike other mapping systems such as Google Earth, which relies on the user downloading the application, Virtual Earth runs direct from your browser without the need of a download. Another notable advantage is the cost. Whilst Google Earth is available free of charge, it is not until you pay for the professional package, that the imagery is of sufficient quality to do both your community and property justice.
Microsoft’s Virtual Earth on the other hand is free and only comes in one form and that simply is the best there is available today.
Many rental websites rely on property owners bringing their own marketing tools and features, which can then be incorporated, into a set format.
At Direct Villas Florida however the approach is far more pro active, as they go in search of new software such as Virtual Earth, which has now been integrated into the site, and can be seen in use, on 56 of the sites featured communities.
Each community has been accurately plotted to ensure the user experience is straightforward and enjoyable. The user is taken to the entrance of each of the communities, from where he or she can easily navigate throughout that community or indeed anywhere within the immediate area and throughout Orlando.
Over and above the high resolution imagery on offer with the use of the ‘Bird’s eye’ link on the top right side of the map, other great marketing features include a facility which allows the user/potential renter to view an owners property from every angle. The option to overlay road and place names is also an advantage when trying to identify specific properties within a community.
Whilst some owners are reluctant to highlight their property on this sort of platform, others use it to good effect by treating it as another means of advertising their investment. It can also be used as a source of corroboration, for the text on their personal websites.
To experience the power and features it offers Florida property owners, then after clicking the following link, simply choose a community from the list then look for the ‘high resolution’ link in the top right corner of the individual community page. Florida Villas & Communities.
