Phil,

You can call me Steve!

Engagement and debate are part of the whole process; keeping an eye on the market, your competition and talking about it have become pretty much the same thing in the bloggosphere.

I have always given props to WellcomeMat – they arguably have the right idea with their presentation, content and video viewer.

Video can help, but now only a vary narrow sector of the RE market.

Changing things is pretty much up to the consumer.
Most would probably be agree that it could be hazardous for any business enterprise to assume what the consumer needs in terms of help, or product.

In any open marketplace, consumers vote with their dollars, and they already have.

Thanks to everyone for coming out and listening to all six of us pitch/present our businesses. It’s truly an honor to participate in these types of events. I meet interesting passionate people every time. Go New York!

For those of you that did not quite get why I (WellcomeMat.com) stood before you and presented in a space suit, here’s a quick video that should clear things up…

Stand out from the competition, USE VIDEO:

“The leading marketing tool for real estate is not video.” Hello! Did anyone say it was? I’m quite sure Peter’s post mentioned nothing of the sort.

Oh Obeoman, why must you follow WellcomeMat.com? Are you paid per comment, every copy and paste? I love the tirades but seriously, tracking down every reference to WellcomeMat and real estate video will not change the state of things… Video is here to stay. And why is Obeoman so defensive, so snippy? Yes, we said game changer. Did we mean it’s going to make companies such as yours obsolete? Of course not – you have a thriving business. Again, we are talking about video helping consumers NOT speaking as if we (Obeoman) are THE consumer. I presume we’ll see you the next time there’s some WellcomeMat coverage? Wouldn’t be the same without you.
