| Chicago, January 12, 2009 - VHT, the world's leading provider of visual marketing services for the Real Estate Industry, announced they are now offering clients a single venue to order and manage their property marketing. A myriad of leading providers are now available to all VHT clients through their MyVHT account. Now, Real Estate Professionals can have their visual content created, their ads placed, their listing distributed and their marketing materials prepared, all with a few simple clicks.
In a recent survey conducted by VHT, 63% of real estate agents reported using 10 or more media outlets to market a listing. They reported that repetitive data entry was one of the top challenges in their media buying process. They also reported managing multiple user IDs and passwords; reformatting and resizing visual assets; and not being aware of the best deal at any given time as additional top challenges in their existing media buying process.
VHT launched the VHT Media Marketplace (powered by the Real Estate Media Marketplace) to provide a much quicker and simpler way to use visual assets for property marketing with 'one-time' data input and checkout, when purchasing multiple media options from various providers. With a few simple clicks agents can post their listings to popular online Web sites (e.g. YouTube, Google, Realtor.com, Trulia, Zillow, Condo.com Oodle, HotPads.com, etc.), purchase featured listings online and place their listing on Video on Demand networks. Agents are also able to order postcards, brochures, and more—saving time, and more importantly in this tight economy, saving administrative costs.
"One location for the purchase and distribution of media is vastly improving how real estate professionals manage their property marketing,” said Brannon Lambert, President and COO of VHT. "It also provides media service providers a better venue to present their services to real estate professionals now going to one location vs. the 10 or more locations they were visiting previously."
VHT simply passes all of the relevant visual content, agent and property information into the Marketplace. From there the agent can select any number of popular marketing services to market a listing and they can purchase them all in one simple checkout—agents no longer need to format their visual assets multiple times, or jump from Web site to Web site re-uploading and re-entering information at each stop. The Media Marketplace handles all of the formatting and data entry to the media partners.
