Optional Tour Enhancements

**VIEW Technology. This is a special image enhancement service to provide a clearer view through the property's most significant windows, and limiting or removing the over-exposed, blown-out glare commonly associated with the windows of interior images. Image glare in reflections, mirrors, and in small or distant windows is not always corrected. An overview of this process, along with "before" and "after" images can be found by clicking here. Price: $24.95 per Virtual Tour.

*Narrated Scene Audio includes complete in-house scripting services and broadcast-quality, professional narrations over pleasing background music. The popular Audio feature holds a visitor's interest, and it has been proven that visitors view more photos on a Virtual Tour with a professional narration. Audio really provides the emotional appeal, and the "sell" with each image, providing you with a significant competitive advantage. The many other very important details pertaining to this program can be found by clicking here. When the Audio feature is ordered, directions will also be emailed to you once the Tour has been completed. Audio Tours will go live without the audio component once the Tour has been completed. If ample script notes are provided, the audio will be then be added to the Tour within the next 24 hours (excluding weekends and holidays).

If Scene Audio is added to a Standard Virtual Tour, each 360° image within that Tour must have audio, including "extra" 360° images"… i.e., for a 4- 360° image Tour, all 4 scenes receive audio. Each clip is promised to be 8- to 12-seconds in length, but is rarely under 18 seconds per scene--the more complete the notes you provide for each image, the richer the script. There is an additional charge of $5.95 per image for this feature-- $23.80 is the cost for a Tour with 4-360° images, for example.

If Scene Audio is added to a MOSTour, each still image within that Tour must be narrated, including any additional images added to the Tour. The MOSTour Audio package is $99.95. Additional images added to the Tour are $13.00 each.

*Narrated Agent or Company Profile is a one-minute, professional narration promoting you or your company. We will edit the one-minute script you provide for length, content, taste, grammar, and narrative impact. This narration will be added to every one of your Imagemaker360 Virtual Tours. The audio can be heard by the person viewing the Tour in two ways: By clicking the play button on the lower right corner of the Tour; or, should the consumer not voluntarily select to learn more about you or your company, this same narration will play when the "Audio Slide Show" button is selected (there must be at least two still shots to create this slide show). The price for the Agent Profile Audio is $49.95 per year and includes script editing, narration, background music, placement of the audio on each Tour, and the cost of bandwidth for hosting this fairly large file.

*Hotspot Linked Images. Small targets ("Hotspots") added onto 360° images direct visitors to photos of rooms/areas beyond each designated Hotspot. Cost is $7.95 for unlimited Hotspots on a Virtual Tour (this feature is not available on MOSTours).

*Interactive Floor Plan. A special sub-viewer is created with Hotspots added to the floor plan and linked to the image of that room or area. You provide the floor plan, and we format the plan, clean it up slightly, link it within the custom viewer, and host the new floor plan viewer. The cost is an additional $22.95 per Virtual Tour.

Property Flyers and Marketing Materials. A wide selection of customizable, printer-ready flyer templates for single property promotion can be purchased for only $10.00 per template. Additionally, no-cost customizable Virtual Tour marketing templates promoting the use of Imagemaker360 Tours can be ordered (please contact Imagemaker360 Customer Service for access to these templates).

Virtual Tour Expiration/Extension: Virtual Tours expire 180 days after the Tour has been completed. You will be notified via email one week prior to the Tour expiration, and you may opt to extend the Tour an additional 180 days at no additional charge. Thereafter, a $15.00 fee will be charged to extend the tour for each additional 180-day period.

*These features are not available on the Slide Show tour.
**This feature is not available on the MOSTour or the Slide Show Tour.
