Say Hello To Our Newest Player

Published by RES under Announcements

RealEstateShows.com is proud to announce the beta launch of our embedded player.

(insert brass band playing here)

Now Internet viewers can watch your Main Shows without having to leave your page.
The player comes in two flavors:

These codes will also work on your regular html web pages, not just on blogs. *However, neither method will embed in a Wordpress.com blog, which does not allow external html.

How can you use this? Here are two examples:

  • To enhance a blog post about a local attraction: Click Here
  • To enhance a blog post about new home builders: Click Here

We can’t wait to see what YOU do with it!

Note: This is currently in limited beta. Early next week, everyone will see the embed code and instructions show up in their linking emails and on the links page inside Manage & Edit. Until then, we are testing this in limited numbers. If you’re interested in being a part of the testing, just email us we’ll send you instructions. While in beta you will not be able to alter the size of the player. Once we are out of beta you will be able to specify a size to suit your specific space needs.

Breakthrough: Major Improvement In Show Quality

Published by RES under Announcements

WE DID IT!

Thanks to the prodding of one of our new home staging clients, Karen Reynolds, we went on a major offensive and came up with a way to improve the image quality of our main Shows.

This is very exciting for us here at RealEsateShows.com. Our goal has always been to keep the “video -like” feel of the Shows. Until today, this has meant making some sacrifices on image quality to get rid of what we call “image wobble.” Today, as a result of a combination of improvements made when we launched the new player, we found a way to get better quality AND reduce the wobble at the same time.

Side By Side Detail Comparison:

Notice the difference in detail on the garage windows, the grass and the improved color contrast. It makes a major difference in our Main Show quality. We’re thrilled! And we know you are going to be thrilled as well.

All Shows created from this moment forward will use this new method. But old Shows can also see this improvement. You simply need to replace the photos. We will apply this new setting to all replaced photos as well. [ How To Replace Photos In Your Existing Shows ]

Side By Side Show Comparison:

We duplicated our main sample show and then replaced the photos in the original.

Karen, thanks for pushing us to take a harder look!

Replacing Existing Photos: How To Video

Published by RES under How To Videos

Here’s a quick video (less than one minute) that will show you how to replace the photos in an existing Show at RealEstateShows.com.

There are lots of reasons you may want to do this and doing so changes the Show wherever it is linked. So, you don’t need to create a new Show when you simply want to replace a photo.
