Smartwatches – The Next Big Thing That Wasn’t

When Apple introduced the Apple Watch in April 2015, many pundits expected smartwatches to become the next big thing and emulate the success of smartphones and tablets. And while the Apple Watch definitely made its mark and quickly became the most popular smartwatch out there, the market as a whole never really took off.

Doubts about the added benefit of smartwatches in between smartphones and considerably cheaper fitness armbands always lingered, and the lack of obvious killer features didn’t help broader adoption either.

In the past quarter, the global smartwatch market saw its first contraction, with worldwide shipments declining by more than 30 percent year-over-year. According to IDC’s estimates, shipments amounted to 3.5 million units between April and June this year, down from more than 5 million in the past year. While it needs to be noted that last year’s June quarter marked the launch quarter of the Apple Watch, it took both the smartphone and tablet markets years to see their first year-over-year declines after Apple had entered and thus made them the next big thing.

This chart shows estimated global smartphone shipments since Q2 2014.

Businesses, regardless of what services or products they offer, are constantly being evaluated and compared on their level of customer service. As a successful Realtor and small business owner, how can you provide the best customer service?

Single Property Websites

AgencyLogic single property Websites can help by providing real estate agents with a way to share documents including inspections, contracts, marketing documentation and spreadsheets. Not only does this help answer questions but also provides more property related information than is available anywhere else on the Web, eases the sales process, saves time and therefore money for all parties and finally demonstrates technical ability and obviously outstanding customer service on the part of the real estate agent.

Agents can upload several file formats including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Zip and PDF (plus others). It is also possible to create a central document library thereby saving time whenever files need to be used across multiple single property Websites.

Documents on AgencyLogic single property Websites have three levels of security:

  • Open – Anyone who views the site can access the information
  • E-mail Address Required – An e-mail address must be entered before accessing documentation
  • E-mail Address and Password Required – An e-mail address must be entered and the Realtor must be contacted directly in order to obtain the password

Utilizing the third level of protection ensures any interested person interested contacts the Realtor directly, therefore generating solid leads and reliable contact information.

The question isn’t really why should you use a single property website, it’s how can you market effectively without one?
