Urbanimmersive Redefines Real Estate Photography Standards With Its New All-in-One 3D Photography Subscription Services
27 Septiembre 2021 - 8:00AM
Urbanimmersive Inc. (“Urbanimmersive”, the “Company” or “UI”) (TSX
VENTURE: UI) (OTCQB: UBMRF) has begun during this Summer a rollout
of all-in-one 3D visual content monthly subscription services in
the Province of Quebec (Canada) throughout its newly acquired
photography provider businesses.
The monthly subscriptions provide real estate
agents the right to get a 3D tour, 2D and 3D floor plans and single
property websites at no additional cost when ordering high quality
still pictures making it the most competitive visual content
package on the market. The subscriptions also include a limited
version of Urbanimmersive's flagship patents pending product
UiMeet3D, a 3D avatar video-conferencing and lead generation
solution.
The monthly subscription packages are based on
agent's active listings (homes for sale) on which agents have the
options to add different UiMeet3D extended services thus providing
Urbanimmersive with incremental recurring revenues. Those new
revenue streams will be included in financial reports going forward
enabling investors keeping track of progress.
Since the beginning of the rollout, the number
of agents subscribing to the all-in-one 3D monthly services is
steadily growing amongst existing customers. The monthly
subscription has also shown to attract and retain new agents. Based
on this initial success, the Company expects to increase related
marketing to further accelerate the monthly subscription adoption
rate.
In that regard, the Company is pleased to share
internal market share data analysis providing insights with regards
to the impact of this new all-in-one visual content monthly
subscriptions rollout in the Province of Quebec (population of 8.5
million residents) for properties for sale by real estate
agents.
For June 2021, in the Province of Quebec,
Urbanimmersive 3D tour market share was only 4%. After 3 months of
rollout of the new all-in-one 3D visual content service,
Urbanimmersive 3D tour market share has skyrocketed reaching 42%.
For the Montreal city only, Urbanimmersive 3D tour market share has
reached 48%, significantly surpassing Matterport, the leading brand
in 3D tours.

Those market share data analysis results
demonstrate the Company's capacity of converting acquired list of
photography clients on its new 3D offering as well as increasing
the number of UI's 3D tours delivered. Additionally, data
shows that properties for sales offering a 3D tour (all brands
included) still represent a fraction of all listings. In the
Province of Quebec, 3D tours adoption rate is 7% while the adoption
rate is 15% for the city of Montreal leaving significant room for
growth for Urbanimmersive. The Company's management also believes
that the more 3D tours are delivered, the more incremental will be
the usage of its patent pending UiMeet3D solution.
« These results further confirm the success
of our new accelerated growth plan announced earlier this year
which consists of acquiring real estate photography businesses with
the goal of controlling every aspect of their 3D product offering.
Not only this strategy provides us profitable growth but also
confirms we can gain market share against any competitive products
in our local markets where we acquire photography businesses »,
stated Ghislain Lemire, president and CEO of Urbanimmersive.
Urbanimmersive also announced that it will stop
supporting its free-to-use Photography Business Solutions and
Marketplace developed in 2013. Those two products will be sunsetted
in 2022. All clients using those solutions have been redirected to
our Tourbuzz alternative features or solutions. The Company
explains this decision by the desire to only focusing resources and
marketing on its new all-in-one monthly visual content
subscriptions and its core technologies. As a result, the Gross
Merchant Volume (‘GMV’) published on the Company’s website will be
removed as the data presented was mainly generated from the
photography Business Solution billing activities.
