Clubhouse Tours is Growing!

While the economy manages to struggle along, there's been no slowdown in production activity here at Clubhouse Tours. Even more amazing about this is that the winter months typically offer little opportunity to shoot apartment exteriors, and no chance whatsoever to aim the camera at community landscapes here in the midwest.

Nevertheless, the video tour business is moving forward at a brisk pace. In the latter half of 2008, and here early this year, Clubhouse Tours has teamed up with apartment management firms in Indianapolis, Dayton, Cincinnati, along with adding several additional companies here in the central Ohio area.

Given all the variables at play, we believe our recent growth tends to validate the viability of Clubhouse Tours in many ways. Our customers like the design of our video tours, the improved performance our video tours give to their online presence, and, of course, our attractive pricing.

If you've been thinking about adding video to your online leasing arsenal now is a great time to go for it. Come springtime, our production will be at full speed. Reserving your spot now will insure your curb appeal and distinctive home styles will be toured online 24/7 by many of those web-surfers looking for a nice place to call home this year.

Video Tour Comparison Chart

2008 finally witnessed the inevitable explosion of online apartment video tours, which we had so eagerly predicted two years before.

All the major internet listing services (ILS), apartmentguide.com, forrent.com, apartments.com and mynewplace.com, added the choice of "online video" in one fashion or another to their product offerings. Combine this with a host of other regional video producers like Clubhouse Tours, and the apartment management professional now has a table full of widely differing shaped, sized and priced video tours from which to choose from.

When deciding what kind of video is most effective for your apartment community, it would certainly help to have a one-stop comparison chart, where you could see all your video options and then choose accordingly. Such a chart would not only enable you to make a better informed choice, it would save you a lot of time searching the world-wide web for "apartment video tours".

Well, such a comparison chart is finally here for your video tour shopping convenience (click on the image below to view chart)...


While not definitive by any stretch (new tour producers are entering the market even as you read this), we do believe our chart is comprehensive, as well as fair to what our competitors are currently offering your apartment community. Video is a very powerful tool to add to your online leasing effort (which is why you are here right now reading this). Needless to say, choosing the right kind of video for your community, at the right price, will enable you to use that power to it's fullest potential.

Please let us know what you think, and happy shopping!

Free Marketing

It's no secret that apartment management professional fork over a lot of cash to increase their product visibility out there in the renter marketplace. On-site signs, billboards, newsprint classifieds and, of course, the guide magazines all promise to deliver renters to your door, for a price.

Clubhouse Tours, however, empowers your staff to do they're own marketing for free --and often with much better results. How? By simply utilizing their Video-powered website. Consider what you can do with online video tours:

* Out-of-Town Prospects are ready to tour right on the phone when they call. Online video can literally transport your "curb appeal" anywhere, instantly. And Clubhouse Tours are so complete, you'll find many prospects ready to lease without having to make a personal visit.

* Pre-Leasing is now a snap. With our comprehensive video Floorplan Walk-thru tours you can pre-lease "on-notice" apartments before they vacate. This feature alone offers a solid ROI for Clubhouse Tours. You'll want to video each and every floorplan style available!

* eMarketing with real results! Phone leads, follow ups and corporate accounts are great, cost-effective eMarketing opportunities for any community. But placing a video tour link in your emails suddenly transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary for every leasing prospect.

Most marketing currently available to apartment communities is cold and impersonal. Not so with Clubhouse Tours. Not only does the video bring your product to life, but personal touch of your staff delivering those video tours to potential renters is the surest, most cost-effective way to turn them into actual renters today.

In these days of a more and more challenging economy that sounds more and more like a pretty good idea, huh?

New Website for Clubhouse Tours

After a lot of testing, and trial and error, I think we've finally designed a website that can really take us to the next level. While the content essentially remains the same, the presentation is much more simple, clear and easy to digest for fast moving apartment folks looking for new ideas to improve their marketing results.

The most important new feature of the website is a greatly simplified online video player. Gone are all the confusing gadgets, that only confused new viewers. What remains is simply the video viewing experience. I'd like to call it the "chick player," because it's so user-friendly and without pretense of complicated gadgetry.

The more I look at it the more I find I like the new website look. I hope you do too!

Video Tours Result in 35% Increase in Online Sales

A SellPoint, Inc. study conducted by Coremetrics found a significant increase in product purchases after online shoppers viewed audio/video tours of products.

We at Clubhouse Tours don't find this news all that surprising. Video creates a real, lasting sense of what is called in the ad world as "top of the mind awareness." In otherwords, what the viewer sees seems more life-like and real, hence the idea stressed in the video stays on the views mind a lot longer.

The study analyzed online shopping behaviors to measure the impact SellPoint’s Active Product Tours (APT) on the purchase patterns of online shoppers. Among the findings:

• There was a 35% increase in the sales conversion rate among shoppers who viewed the tours vs. those who did not.


• Shoppers viewing the product tours spent more than 2.5 minutes, on average, engaged in viewing detailed product information about each product viewed.

Get Tour-Ready

The sign, hastily left hanging on the leasing office door, says it all: "We'll Be Back To Lease!"

Meanwhile the next leasing prospect, perhaps better qualified and more motivated, must wait or just move on to the next community...

Whether it's a busy or short-handed staff, or just not enough business hours in the day, the results are always the same: needlessly missed leasing opportunities. Lost opportunities to show a prospect what a great community you have to offer, missed opportunities to reach your desired occupancy rate has moved on, perhaps right next door.

I say "needlessly" because Clubhouse Tours now offers your apartment community an alternative to the "We'll be back to lease" missed opportunity.With Clubhouse Tours it's now possible to tour your leasing prospect anytime anywhere. With Clubhouse Tours your community is virtually Tour-Ready 24 hours a day 7 days a week!
