Just Released!

Just released and in time for the holiday season, we'd like to announce a whole slew of new tools that have been made available as a free upgrade. Some of the features include an improved Free Home Update manager, a new Registration Editor, a new Permission Manager, and an improved Member Services feature. In January, we'll also be releasing a whole new set of video tutorials in the self help section of your Web Assistant.

In addition to these upgrades, you may have already noticed a feature that allows your seller clients to log in and see a report of their home views, and another feature that allows consumers on your website to compare listings.

In all, it's quite a handful of new releases. If you have any questions regarding any of these new features, contact customer support support@birdview.com. Also, don't forget about the in depth training offered through our Service Bureau. For more information about training options, contact servicebureau@birdview.com

Over the past several months, we have shared with you important information on shifting marketing dollars online to help you capture your share of the growing online population. As the year draws to an end, this is a great time to re-evaluate your current marketing strategy and explore your options for getting the most bang for your dollars in 2006.

For the do-it-yourselfers, if you have the time and feel comfortable venturing in this arena, there are some simple things you can do today to help you generate more leads from the internet. While this will require you to spend some time and learn about the various products, it is definitely one option you have that allows you to stretch your dollars.

One of the first places to start is by identifying sites that generate a lot of traffic and buy advertising space yourself. A partial list of these sites includes realtor.com and your local newspaper. In addition, there are free directories that allow you to list your business for free. You can also purchase submission software that distributes your website to search engines and directories for a nominal fee. There's a vast array of information on the Internet about marketing on-line, so be sure to do your research before jumping in.

For those more inclined to leave it to the experts, BIRDVIEW's Traffic Accelerator programs develop a targeted action plan structured to increase traffic to your website, and it uses customized marketing programs to strengthen your Internet presence and brand in the mind of online consumers. Since its introduction this past year, many of our clients have taken advantage of the program and have already seen significant returns. You pay a flat monthly fee and our experts maximize your on-line advertising spend with no per lead fees, referral fees or commission splits! If you'd like to consider Traffic Accelerator in your marketing mix for next year, simply email traffic@birdview.com and a qualified representative will contact you to discuss your options.

Enjoy the happy holiday season and may the New Year bring you ever greater success.
