Aerial Golf Course and Club Amenities Photographs
Enhance your website and sell framed prints for increased ROI.
Above are some random samples of aerial photographs that were taken to enhance the beauty of our client’s website and also provide the viewer with a better sense of what the club has to offer. It was during our first season of shooting these aerials that we realized the full potential we could offer to attract golfers to a club. This was the birth of our flagship product for the golf industry, the Virtual Scorecard™.
The Virtual Scorecard™
The Virtual Scorecard™ is a one-of-a-kind, unique way of showcasing and marketing your golf club. It offers golfers a virtual hole-by-hole, flight of the ball tour of your course. By design it keeps golfers coming back to your site to get more tips, to anticipate playing a favorite hole, etc… It brings new golfers to your site. Golfers love to talk/brag about “their” club and the VSC gives them the perfect way to do that . By sending links to their friends and colleagues, more and more golfers visit your site. The more positive attention you can draw to your club, the more rounds of golfs will be played.
How well does it work?
Back in the beginning of September of 2007, Eagle Ridge Golf Club went live with the Virtual Scorecard™. By the 14th of October 2007, just 6 weeks later, their website had received over 606,000 visits. Of the 606,000 visits, roughly 468,000 visits were made watching the VSC. These numbers were completely astounding, but even more surprising was the number of unique visits (first time visitors to the site), there were almost 50,000 new viewers that visited the site through links to the Virtual Scorecard™.
Below is a sample of one of Eagle Ridge’s 27 exquisite holes.
What’s involved in the production of this product? How do we do it? Well, we could tell you but then we’d have to kill you….. Seriously, over 3 years of development has gone into the refining of this product. The “recipe” that we have come up with is what enables our clients to achieve the results mentioned above. Below is a short “behind the scenes” teaser video to give you an idea of what’s involved “on-location”.
Please feel free to call or email for more information on the Virtual Scorecard™ and how we can help your club have the best season ever!
For the Real Estate Industry
Are you using MLS to attract your potential buyers? If so, the above example should be shouting to you. Aerial images are a proven way to attract your viewer’s eye. When the majority of surrounding listings are displaying a curbside photo your eye is quickly drawn to the image that is different. Having more people viewing your listing is the first step in selling more properties. Selling more properties places you as the person more sellers will want to list with. ( Win Win)
It’s all pretty simple right? Let’s take the aerial image a step further. After a closing, what better way to thank your buyer than giving them a gift, a small token of appreciation? Imagine the gift is that same aerial photograph beautifully framed. For less money than what you might have normally spent on a closing gift, you now have completely covered the cost of acquiring, printing and framing that photo. Genius right? It gets better. What do you think happens every time a first-time guest visits your buyer’s house? They ask about the photo, to which your buyer replies, “it was a gift form my real estate agent”. You have just hung your business card on their wall and allowed yourself the opportunity to be a topic of conversation for years to come, what a great way to build an on-going referral base.
Below are just a few examples of some private homes and commercial properties. Please note that unlike traditional satellite aerial images which show more rooftops, we capture oblique angles that show the beauty of the building and property.
