RTV Annual Convention

The RTV virtual tour provider convention is an annual event typically held in a major city or vacation destination during the months of October or November. RTV gathers up the very best performers, software, strategies, gizmos and gadgets from that year, then on-boards a dozen instructors and gives you three days of educational classes and breakout sessions you‘ll never forget! Bump shoulders with some of RTV’s top providers who complete thousands of virtual tours each year and manage multiple photographers. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss.

Profit Scenarios Most of our full-service providers focus on both real estate tours and business tours. This ensures a high volume and predictable revenue, as well as the opportunity for high-end orders that can significantly boost your profits. Keep in mind that real estate virtual tours will make up approximately 95% of your business.

Real estate tours are easy to sell when marketed effectively. Repeat tours and orders are highly common within the real estate market. An average agent will list 2 to 3 new properties each month. Take good care of this agent and you’ll get all of their business. Your virtual tour packages will most likely retail between $100 and $300, with a selling average around $145. With just 30 agents ordering 2 tours each month, you'll earn $8700 monthly. There are more than two million real estate professionals in the U.S. today and the ordering volume for virtual tours increases annually. Currently, 25% of all listed homes have a virtual tour. Imagine how busy you'll be when 60% of the listings have virtual tours!

Business & commercial tours are also easy to sell, if marketed properly. Typically, they're associated with a much higher return. Although the volume of commercial tours will be lower, you'll quickly make up for that with the $100 to $200 per “360-degree image” you'll be able to charge.

 Create an opportunity to earn residual income by implementing an annual business tour renewal fee of $50 to $100. This is also a great way for you to keep in touch with your clients.

 With 80% of consumers turning to the internet first to search for information, 60% of a business’s marketing efforts should be targeted online.

 The average return on investment (ROI) for a business tour (such as an apartment, community or doctor’s office) is two weeks! They’ll love our weekly hit reports and lead capture tools. 

The customers are not usually set up to provide repeat business, so you’re not discounting the service, as you do for your real estate agent customers. This makes business and commercial virtual tours very lucrative. RTV virtual tour providers typically market to this group in between real estate shoots and strive for two to three business shoots a month.

 On a typical day, more than 6 million people are viewing virtual tours in cyberspace.  78% of internet users conduct product research on line before visiting a business in person
