So, you prefer to use a "photo album" approach where the buyer can flip through a series of photos? Do you think there are so many virtual tours around that a seller might expect one - what do your sellers think about them? And, how about you other readers? Kathleen Neuhaus,

And, how about you other readers?

Not to mention adding music to the mix makes it even worse people want to see facts, and qulity pics. It just think v tours are more hype than help. I think virtual tours are overated.

I think floorplans can be a great addition. In fact, I've been collecting floorplan vendor names and I'll add Planomatic to the list. Are you associated with that company? It looks like they cover a fairly narrow geographic area. Thanks again, Kathleen A2 Reviews,

While many products are transitioning towards voice, one feature seems to have fallen somewhat by the wayside, floor plans. Although it may seem self-evident or even a bit "old fashioned" by comparison, it is still quite important to allow a potential buyer the overview that a floor plan provides. A Virtual Tour, and even a voice guided tour with pictures, is a great way to visit the interior, but to get a good idea of the overall space is still very important. Some companies seem to have integrated this into their products and are still adding more and more interactive features as time goes on; one that springs to mind is www.planomatic.com. They also seem to fill the gap between do-it-yourself and professionally maintained Virtual Tours by allowing a level of both to combine in one product. What most Virtual Tour companies need is detailed feedback about what their clients most need and most want so they can design products that speak to them and their clients. But then again, what company doesn't need that kind of information. Great article on VT's, thanks for posting.
