Firstly, welcome all new members to OneStopView.co.uk, you should all by now have your details under your relevant areas on the contact us page of the website. Can I remind those of you who are included on our database to take time to register yourself an advertiser account, it only takes a minute to do and is of course free to do. Once registered you can then upload actual property videos to the website. (If anyone has teething issues with video uploading then please do email us and our webmaster, Tony, will endevour to help you out. Tony has created a unique search system within the website so there maybe be software conflicts in the early days).

Another point for you to consider is that we also have up and running the overseas property videos website, OneStopView.com, which already hosts over 2,000 property videos from over 500 agents from around the globe. You can also register for free on this website aswell as uploading your property videos for free.

At this present time we are looking at having the OneStopView.tv website built that will host all real estate themed videos other than actual property videos. The .tv version of OneStopView will host videos of estate agents themselves and their offices which is ideal for videographers who offer business marketing videos. It will also be offering a chance for viewers to actually view towns and regions that videographers have filmed to aid in marketing their own or their clientels (estate agencies) property portfolios. When I was out in both Spain and France I found it very beneficial to provide regional video tours to aid in both my marketing of property videos to estate agents aswell as the estate agents marketing of property videos to home owners. These regional videos were also ideal to be included in actual property videos to aid the viewer gain a better understanding of where the property was located.

Hopefully the videographers who requested marketing material for OneStopView.co.uk have found them useful, if more are required then please do email me. For anyone who has yet to request marketing literature then do feel free to request some!

Regards

Christopher Walkey.

OneStopView.co.uk BULLETIN No. 1

Dear Agents,

First of all thank you all for agreeing to become an agent for your area(s) with OneStopView.co.uk.

We are now ready for you to register your account with us. All you need to do is click on ‘Advertiser Signup’ and fill in the form, this is of course free to do. Once registered you will be able to login with ‘Advertiser login’ where you will be able to upload your real estate listings. At present all videos uploads have to be in .flv format (you will most probably have to convert your video file into .flv format). I am at present investing some money into this area so that we will be able to upload in any video format, including HD.

I have also designed a marketing oversize postcard for OneStopView.co.uk. I had 100 printed myself and have found them useful when approaching local estate agents with the concept of property video marketing to promote the fact that there is a dedicated website for the property videos which all estate agents can use. There is a space on the back of the postcard for you to place your name and contact details as regional agent, which is what I have done on mine. If anybody is interested in having some of these printed colour postcards then do let me know. I used the online company ‘Vista Print’ and was satisfied with the quality. The charge from me for 100 postcards will be £25, though ideally I can forward you the template and you can order them for yourself direct from Vista (You will find their prices most reasonable), www.Vistaprint.co.uk

I must say, I am sure you’re all aware, that changing estate agents way of marketing is by no means easy. However I have found, as they are all struggling to attract new listings at present, that offering a free trial (eg 2-3 properties filmed for free) to have been beneficial to tempt them into trying. This gives them the opportunity to see the benefits and promote property videos which in turn will hopefully lead to them securing my services to film. I have received some very positive responses from my local estate agents and two have already signed up for the trial offer. It is important to mention when marketing ‘property videos’ that you differintiate between slide shows and actual video footage because most estate agents assume that a video tour is a glorified slideshow and are not aware of actual videos and the outstanding difference and benefits they offer.

Please remember that the website OneStopView.co.uk is a totally free to use website that benefits us all as videographers. I welcome any suggestions, ideas and even criticism from you if it aids in making the site bigger and more widely known, thus in turn providing us with more videography work!

OneStpView.co.uk is more or less all finished, apart from some additions that are needed and some upgrades to software. Any SEO or similar advice that can be thrown our way will be most welcome!

Regards,

Christopher Walkey.

Property Video the way Foward?

As marketing property becomes a more and more demanding topic with fewer and fewer results, finding the perfect way to advertise your property online is becoming more and more important. A property video could quite literally give you a 24/7 365 days of the year online viewing available to be viewed by a worldwide audience. No need to try and book viewings, a property video will enable your house to be viewed online as if the client was actually there.

Marketing with property videos is a lot more easier than you think and certainly very economical. Simply film the property you wish to sell or rent and upload the video to your computer where it will then be ready to upload to a host of video websites such as YouTube, AOL Videos and OneStopView. These sites are all free to use and really should be your first port of call before you investigate padi for websites whom would rarely get the same amount of traffic.

A property video could cost you less that 2 hours of your own time and could save you thousands in marketing costs. For more professional videos choose a local videographer who will film and edit a managable sized movie for you and even help with uploading.
