    6. Web Listings with Virtual Tour: Creates a webpage with detailed information, photos, and a virtual tour, based on “Digital Marketing” and “User Experience (UX)”. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is used.
    7. House Featured in “Marketing Vehicle” (calendar, etc.): Showcases the property in calendars, magazines, etc., based on “Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC)”.
