Mobile Websites: Realtors' Competitive Advantage, to be Launched at NARdi Gras

Among the most clear-cut business applications for mobile technology is the real estate website. So it’s only natural that VKI Studios -- a leader in internet marketing for real estate agents -- should choose NARdi Gras to showcase its new mobile web development services.

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) October 17, 2006 -- A potential buyer spots a For Sale sign in front of an appealing home. What happens next?

In most cases, the buyer will jot down or memorize the realtor’s URL or phone number. Then he’ll attempt to contact the realtor later… if he remembers.

If, however, the realtor’s website has been optimized for mobile devices (PDAs, cell phones, etc.), the situation is entirely different: the buyer can access the realtor’s website, check out the specific listing, then contact the agent right away… all from a mobile device.

The only catch, of course, is that most websites are not currently optimized for mobile use. This leaves a remarkable opportunity for those willing to seize it: realtors who do in fact optimize their websites for mobile use will gain a significant competitive advantage.

DON’T JUST “MINIATURIZE” YOUR WEBSITE; MOBILIZE IT!

Simply producing a downsized version of an existing website is not enough. What’s needed is a mobile-specific website: one which precisely targets the mobile users’ needs and makes the best possible use of mobile technology.

Mobile websites (http://www.vkistudios.com/mobile-design.html) are deceptively difficult to develop, requiring laser focus on what customers really want to accomplish from their mobile devices. But the fast speed and good usability of a truly mobilized site are well worth the effort. Because the result is satisfied customers. And that means more leads and more sales.

VKI Studios, a recognized leader in web usability and internet marketing for real estate agents (http://www.vkistudios.com/marketing.html), has invested heavily in developing mobile web solutions. Appropriately, they have chosen “NARdi Gras”, this year’s National Association of Realtors (NAR) conference, as its official launch platform. To be held in New Orleans on November 10 – 13, NARdi Gras (www.vkistudios.com/nardi) promises to be an event to remember.
