Personalization
Nowadays, consumers are looking for a personal touch or a connection before they engage in something.
Personalization can be done through Virtual Furniture which allows you to personalize a photograph with different types of furniture. Instead of giving your potential clients a generic photograph of an empty room Virtual Furniture allows you to fill a room with furniture that can appeal to specific clients. Using this service also helps you stand out from other realtors who are not using VF technology.
