Some of the highlights include:
-Only 24% of national brands are using online video to market to consumers yet 76% of marketers plan to add video to their sites making it a higher priority than Facebook, Twitter and Blog integration
-According to the National Association of Realtors 1 in 4 listing includes a virtual tour or video today, yet real estate is one of the most visually appealing business that could most benefit from video usage
-Century 21's Hometown Realty chose RealBiz Media's application for one simple reason "their agents don't have to do anything. The system they chose creates high quality video for EVERY property they have for sale. This automated property market shores up the company's commitment to every seller, every time and removes agent and staff labor."
