One of the most appreciative clients last year was the one who sold their Scottsdale hotel for $160 million last year. Kaitlin did all of their photography work and their praise of her amazing skills keeps flowing.
Last year Snap2Close photographed over 2,400 properties. Obviously, that is a record for us and we are thrilled. If all goes as planned, then 2024 will see a significant increase in that number!
We have also reached a new high in the number of Matterport 3D Tours. On average, over 21,000 impressions (appearances on websites) of our Matterport 3D Tours occur each month. We feel like this is an amazing number! Many of our Matterport tours have been for commercial clients, like Allseated, but we plan to extend that service to the multimillion dollar corporate jet market this year. That should be fun and exciting for our staff.
Speaking of 3D Tours, I should also point out that our Zillow 3D Tours also had over 16,000 views and that is solely based on the residential real estate market in the Phoenix area. We provide more Zillow 3D tours than any company in the valley. We are proud of our success here.
It is more challenging to present our video numbers for this past year as we switched from Vimeo to Aryeo as our host. According to Vimeo our videos were watched over 31,300 times by 11,800 viewers from January 2023 to November 2023. We began using Aryeo to host most of our videos last summer, so I am pretty sure you can increase those numbers by another 35%, but I don’t have the factual data to back that up. As most of you know, Snap2Close’s videos are several steps above most of our competitors.
I would like to chat about floor plans as we close out our 2023 review. As you can imagine, we lead the Phoenix area market in floor plans, since we provide a free floor plan on all of our residential real estate photoshoots. However, what makes us special is that we produce more 3D floor plans than any company in the United States and more CubiCasa based 3D Rendered Videos than any company in the world!
I think you can agree, Snap2Close’s statistics speak volumes about our success.
I can honestly say that I am one proud father. I founded Snap2Close in the fall of 2016 as a part-time retirement job and had zero vision of our company growing to what it is today. My business philosophy was to deliver quality media via professional photography and editing, coupled with outstanding customer service. While I am sure we have stumbled along the way, we have pretty much accomplished that goal and that makes me very proud. Our rapid growth seems to say that we are doing our jobs better than most of the other real estate photography service providers in the Phoenix area.
That success is based upon the outstanding performance of our photographers, editors, quality assurance and customer service staff. They are all heroes in my book. While I sometimes think of them as my children and me as their father, I know that is rooted somewhat in my foolish pride of wanting to parent them. The reality is that their hard work and dedication simply makes me look good. I will gracefully accept that, but notice how I sign off on this email.
Free Headshots - Our January 2024 Monthly Special
Our January special is a free headshot with our Gold and Platinum packages! If you would like one you must let us know at the time of your order. You will need to appear at your photoshoot at the scheduled time and be ready for your headshot. The photographer will take a few photos where the lighting is best - this is typically outside but may be inside near a window with natural lighting. Keep in mind, this is a complimentary headshot that will not be done in front of a backdrop. If you have any questions please reach out to our office!
