Prompt and Personalized
Service:
-
YachtMinder's business model
is uniquely configured to provide each client with a direct and immediate contact to the listing agent for the
yacht of interest. Each YachtMinder
ad, for sale sign, Internet presentation, and specifications brochure
displays
(as the sales contact)
the cell-phone number of the specific listing agent for
each
individual
YachtMinder
listing. This
elegant solution assures an instant contact between
the prospective client and the
individual YachtMinder
agent
that is representing the
particular
yacht of
interest.
-
In this manner our client services are unimpeded by sales
office hours or sales-call rotations among multiple agents, and each
prospective client consistently receives
a
first-hand level of accurate information about each YachtMinder listing.
-
The
dynamics of our listing agent to buyer contact response method also
provides each YachtMinder agent with an on-going and accurate view of the
market interest for each of their listings. And as such, each
YachtMinder selling client can be assured that their individual
YachtMinder listing agent can provide a current and accurate report of
buyer feed-back, and be able to offer a fact-based prognosis of sales
probability at any moment during the sales cycle for their yacht.
Internet Marketing:
-
For
each YachtMinder listing the listing agent creates a thorough text
description of the yacht that highlights key aspects of design,
construction, condition, and the on-board inventory, and with the use of
high quality digital photography a complete visual record of the yacht is
created. YachtMinder management uses this information to assemble a
compelling presentation of the yacht that is then formatted as a
downloadable .pdf (Adobe) brochure. The same body of information is
also formatted in html and presented on YachtMinder's independent web
site.
-
In
addition to presenting each listing on its website, YachtMinder also
creates a display of the yacht for presentation on the largest and most
effective multiple listing website for yachts at yachtworld.com.
-
A key
element of these two Internet presentations, that is unique to YachtMinder
listings, is a specially coded contact form that prospective buyers must
complete to access the complete body of details for the particular yacht
of interest. Once the brief (3 field) contact form is completed the
prospective buyer is given instant access to the downloadable brochure for
the yacht, and is given a link to the large format photo tour that has
been created for the listing and posted to the YachtMinder website.
In this fashion the prospective buyer confirms their interest in the
yacht, and we receive their contact information.
-
The
Internet code written into our contact forms is such that when completed
and submitted a text message with the form content is instantly sent to
the listing agent's cell phone. Upon receipt of each contact text
message the listing agent may then call the prospective buyer and
establish contact that in many cases takes place while the interested
party is still reviewing the Internet presentation of this listing.
