Reviewing strategic options for profitable and growing unit
TORONTO, Sept. 28 /CNW/ - iseemedia Inc. (TSX-V: IEE), a leading
provider of rich content adaptation and delivery solutions for
mobile applications today provided a business update on its
RealBiz360 subsidiary as it reviews strategic alternatives for the
profitable and growing unit. RealBiz360 is a leading provider of
immersive imaging technology and solutions that enable fast and
efficient high-resolution imaging, panoramic viewing, and image
interaction to make real estate properties 'come alive' on the web.
The subsidiary has focused its efforts on the US real estate
industry where on any typical day, more than two million Americans
take a virtual tour, and global digital camera OEM licensing where
it has established a leadership position with several world renowned
brands.
Market for Virtual Tours in Real Estate Industry is Growing
Rapidly
According to a 2007 National Association of Realtors (NAR) survey
of US home buyers and sellers, more than eight out of 10 buyers used
the Internet to look for a home, and 90 percent of those people
reported that virtual tours were useful in their search. A 2008 NAR
survey reported that twice as many consumers found the Internet more
useful than an open house.
The recent US real estate collapse has created an increased
demand for online real estate marketing solutions that help sellers
unload financially distressed properties by allowing buyers to take
virtual tours prior to visiting a site in person. The sheer volume
of properties available for sale and the length of time on market
have made it an imperative to use online strategies for effective
selling. RealBiz360 provides the industry's only high definition
virtual tour solution that provides hands-on viewing experience for
consumers and is the first company to automatically create video
from virtual tours and slideshows for distribution via YouTube. More
than 38,000 YouTube real estate tours have been taken since the
service went live three months ago.
RealBiz360 Business Model Focused on Recurring Revenue Strategy
RealBiz360 is executing a three-pronged strategy to grow
profitable and recurring revenues:
1. The RealBiz360 business model is focused on achieving broad
distribution of its immersive imaging solution through licensing
arrangements with key leading real estate organizations and their
franchisors which allow their agents and brokers to access more
advanced immersive virtual tour services for a nominal fee. All
imaging and other online marketing tools are available as a 'pay
as
you go' or monthly subscription service.
