Matterport Promo Codes? Flashcutter 1 2 yearsFlashcutter (80): Hi. I'm upgrading my plan and wonder if anyone knows any promo codes for plan upgrade with a Matterport 2? Thank you! JM
Charging Monthly Fees? rhelling 6 2 yearsrhelling (314): @Wingman I've never liked charging clients "extras" or monthly fees. Typically all my work is lump sum, fixed fee. I like the idea of offering (90) days free - then charging maybe a 6mo or 12mo option to extend hosting. (I might need to have a trigger that alerts me after ~85 days to inquire if they want to extend...)

Use Case for Heavy Industry and Production plants? hayyu360 8 2 yearsMeidansha (789): @hayyu360 most of the time it is a case of finding a key-man to make things happen. For instance I am told in this job I previewed that I was commissioned to help the MSP who got the sale, that a former employee of the large industrial conglomerate was selling his services as a system engineer to his former employer. That led to creating an exposee of what it is like to work on the company premises and he created a custom interface from the...
Has anyone used SuperViz? Rob_IM4DM 4 2 yearsDanSmigrod (31320): @Pedrotex69 Please keep us posted about how you use Matterport + SuperViz to get more business. Best, Dan
new horizons for virtual tours eduandresc 7 3 yearseduandresc (24): Guys, thank you so much. After reading your comments I think that the solution will probably take the way of a camera/scanner + software pack that could met both local hosting regulation and data security. My partner now is consulting to a judge and a prosecutor in order to get more info about local legislation. If we make it to get to a prototype or any kind of pilot I will be sharing my experience here. Thanks again!
Matterport — Baby Steps into the Metaverse Carson 5 3 yearsWingman (4345): None, because Matterport has not been created for 3D so they cannot built a good 3D model. You can hover use it to collect some 3D data and then manually clean & fix it. Sure it is faster than doing it from a scratch but still should cost a few 1000s to build a clean 3D model with realistic textures from a Matterport tour and Matterpack.
Wording to put in a floor plan to reduce the risk of wrong square foot? Laserpro3532 4 3 yearsExpertise (1192): Simple- we delete the Square Footage info in Photoshop, leaving just the disclaimer. Matterport SF is calculated form the interior walls, our county calculates from the exterior dimensions, so the SF is almost always low as compared to tax records.
Question on new hardware...Pro3 Camera on the horizon??? 5StarScans 11 3 yearsThinkLab (387): @DanSmigrod Hi, I spoke with an employee high up in Matterport middle of last year and he confirmed the Pro 3 was ready, but Matterport is keeping it off the market to first sell their Pro2 stock. Very reliable source, their UK sales also confirmed that to me.

I have a Matterport Classic Plan. How to archive or workaround? Harrycayman 7 3 yearsCharlesHH (640): The mails seem to come once you go over 90. They may stop if you go under that.
Anyone else get their Matterport 100 scan business hosting plan... Expertise 6 3 yearsExpertise (1192): $309 USD for 125 spaces now. Was $309 for 100 spaces. I think they did this to fix a glitch in their pricing. Previously, you could have TWO 50 space plans at $129 each, so $258 per hundred while the 100 space plan was $309.
In Design Help SpencerLasky 4 3 yearsSpencerLasky (404): Yes Ok I can use anything, illustrator all I'm looking to do is keep the text I add to these small photo books for marketing purposes from degrading if I try to do it all in photoshop. Thanks I'll DM you as well Tresdepro!
COVID-19's effect on virtual tours? ysabelc 2 3 yearsysabelc (168): We've had 51 responses from all over the world so far, thanks everyone! And the results have been really interesting. Some of it I was expecting, some of it's surprising to me. For example, it seems virtual tour makers in North America had an easier time on average than those in Europe during the pandemic, especially when it comes to getting new clients. At least based on the results we've had so far. ...
Advice Request: Pricing a very large venue chrispy_magic 13 3 yearsAce864 (1): Basically, everything you need is just a couple of apps that will secure your video by limiting access to uninvited viewers. It doesn’t matter if you are streaming on-air or it is a recorded video. You can restrict access to it and send an inviting link to a specific group of people. In some countries, real estate people practice this. They share the link of the virtual tour of the property for people who have provided some details and shared...

It may surprise you if you’ve never looked into it before.

New Business Development - Doubts with pricing, service, etc. rodrigocastillo 3 4 yearsDanSmigrod (31320): @rodrigocastillo Does this help? ✓ Free WGAN Cheat Sheet: Which Virtual Tour Platform is Best (for Me)? It's likely that "which camera" and "which platform" are a function of "which category" that you will focus on. As @MeshImages says, the Ricoh Theta Z1 likely will be your go to 360 camera for any platform that you select. Dan
Business License in New Jersey Leon11 12 4 yearsLeon11 (19): No worries, @toddwaddington, down the shore, haven’t heard that in a while. Haven’t checked what they’re gonna do this, wouldn’t want to be tied up in a place I like to let loose!

Google Street View (GSV) for business? AerialWayz 12 4 yearsAerialWayz (81): @Wingman, Thanks for the info.

Should I buy Matterport Pro 2 camera? TakingArt 7 4 yearsDanSmigrod (31320): WGAN 3rd Party Service Providers - such as MP2FP @MP2FP) – can provide floor plans from Matterport tours: regardless of which camera was used to create the Matterport tour. Dan
Demand for video tours 8643d 16 4 yearsHome3D (4091): I agree that "slideshow videos" which some older agents still refer to as 'virtual tours' are boring, redundant, and make an agent look WAY behind the times. Virtual tours, whether Matterport 3D, GeoCV 3D, NodalView, EyeSpy360 or 3DVista (and others) are what Buyers are looking for today. We talk about agents and brokers a lot because they pay for media (photos, videos, virtual tours) but let's never forget that the Customer in...
Do you outsource your video editing? 8643d 10 4 yearsPhotoAndVideoEdits (258): In and out within an hour!
Full Service Basic On-Site Gear/Workflow/Scheduling Questions kaplan 7 4 yearsPickChuck (413): @kaplan - I don't know if I would show anything to an agent prior to blending and editing it. That might be more confusing than it's worth. It will also slow you down. I actually use a microphone stand for my Z1 and it was about $38. I find it perfect. I had to get an adapter to get to 1/4 20. I would get good at stills, add Zillow 360's, add Asteroom, add drone and if someone put my arm behind my back I would add video. (and they would...
Ghost writing for website? thereal360 3 4 yearsthereal360 (271): SO, do you all write your own website posts?
Photographer dipping my toes into 3D/360. Am I on the right track? condra 12 4 yearsGETMYVR (1913): I would suggest use the iPhone for making phone calls, texts, taking selfies, but if you're looking to do matterport, you want to use the best camera possible to get the best results. Theta Z1 at the minimum. I tried an iPhone and an iPad on a sample matterport tour, and at the same time I connected a Z1 and I also did a portion of the house with a pro 2 3D to see how they work together. Worst tour ever produced.
Are there any Film/TV Commercial Location Scout and Managers on here? purplejesse 2 4 yearsZeeshanV7 (7): Hey Jesse, yea sure! We're a Film/Media Real Estate Brokerage. We focus on filming locations and also do 3D Scanning, etc. You can check us out here: Ventra7.com
Calls slowed. What would my fellow Forum Members Focus On? VTLV 17 4 yearsadc1967 (79): Commercial Real estate and Property Management companies. Commercial office spaces, etc are taking a hit (covid). Much of those potential buyers and lease customers are out of town. Im seeing tour growth in those areas with my business. I'm getting apartment requests now. Remember I'm a commercial Architectural photographer as well, so Matterport is piggybacking on my main services.
Book keeping...? thereal360 11 4 yearsJMEPhotos (36): We're using Freashbooks online cloud invoicing.
How many of you offer a ONE STOP SHOP? thereal360 15 4 yearsthereal360 (271): @DanSmigrod link doesnt seem to work
DO you use businessname@gmail.com or info@businessname.com thereal360 7 4 yearsWALES (34): Business via Google's G-Suite.
360 Tours and Commercial Real Estate jericreson 2 4 yearsjpierce360 (160): Agree with this as I have been doing nothing but CRE for the entire summer.
Getting a Business license before starting to charge? thereal360 6 4 yearstoddwaddington (526): check out the link I provided about freelance vs independent contractor. So far as I know, freelance just means you are on your own. I don't believe there is anything legally binding. Sole proprietor is official. But, I think it's all in that link. Check out sole proprietor.
Virtual tour for apartment complex - examples?? thereal360 5 4 yearsthereal360 (271): So i checked https://www.marylandmanagement.com/Apartments None of the ones in Jacksonville (Where i live) Have any tours... but i did see a Matterport tour in ONE of the ones in Pennsylvania. https://www.hamletwestapts.com/?state=maryland&city=baltimore&commname=hamlet-west/ Would it make any sense specifically to sign up for Matter port with a Z1 if that is the only way they want to have it...?
* * Hosting fees or no hosting fees for businesses? * * thereal360 4 4 yearsjthorstad (36): I give a year free. After that I'll charge monthly, or..."let's update your tour, fresh new images and another year of free hosting!"
Asteroom and CAMPERS? thereal360 14 4 yearsthereal360 (271): @Ghagendorf Nice work :) @PickChuck Well, I am trying to figure out how they tick.... because i think they just get the 360's from the Manufacturer, for newer Models maybe within the last few years. Most off the older ones or used ones i don't see 360s... So back to my question...Have you found any in your area with NO 360 tours? I was just curious.
Is there a way to white-label Asteroom tours? thereal360 3 4 yearsthereal360 (271): ok, sounds good!
Matterport Services Revenue Virtual_Homey 4 4 yearsjen_ishayoga (33): Always difficult to pinpoint based on the location. There's a few things I've noticed in my area, Indianapolis IN. Average starting rate is around $0.08/sf. Almost everyone has incremental pricing based on sf. It's rare to find a group with flat rate pricing. Fair entry would be around $175 - 200. After learning the hard way, I've realized that I just have to scout my area and see how things are doing. 🙃
What setup to start with (again) Rusty 9 4 yearsGETMYVR (1913): Dear universe, please send me a Leica BLK 360 so I can donate my pro 2 3D to an aspiring virtual tour artist.
imoto.com 360 Virtual Tours Experiences? thereal360 4 4 yearsWingman (4345): If they charge $99 for this 360 video walk through it is not that low. 1-5 minutes of walking through a property and then just uploading it to youtube without any post editing for $99 is quite a good fee. I am offering the same for AUD$160 per hour with a minimum of 1 hour order. That's a bit over $100 in USD but not too much over. It would suck if it were the only service ordered for one location as a photographer probably wouldn't spend...
Suggestions wanted: cheap, fast 3D solution Expertise 16 4 yearsExpertise (1192): We're going with Zillow 3D, slideshow and stills for $150. We have experience with the Zillow thing, we have a ll the equipment and it's got name recognition... and there is no hosting cost. I also suspect they will roll out an evolution of it soon.
What is the fastest solution for large construction sites virtual tours? eduandresc 5 4 yearseduandresc (24): Perfect, I just checked, I never imagined how advanced this technology was. Now I have a better idea about solutions :D Regards, Eduardo

Viability of Opening a Virtual Tour Only Business HIGH5iVER 3 5 yearsbryanhscott (843): @HIGH5iVER If your target client is a small business, possibly. Many small businesses are pubs, sports bars and restaurants, who may also need still photos for their menu selections. Absent that, why not? For real estate professionals; agents and property managers, including VRBO and AirBNB, nearly all want and need still photos in addition to 3D tours. As well, though many won't admit it, they need (because their target customers require...
Matterport.. Join , Die or Migrate... Bollingerphoto 3 5 yearsGFHoge (162): This validates my decision to diversify my 3D 360 Business thanks to Dan and the great people he has put us in touch with! Ben Clairmont, Angus Norris, Glenn Tremain, just to name a few. We are all in this together, so we have a large "eco system" to beat back their attempts to control OUR businesses.

Long Term Matterport Approach and Exit Strategy Wonderdawg 5 5 yearsJayInLA (45): I have the same dilemma myself, I’ve heard a lot of people only use Matterport for their house tours and then they use another platform for their business tours. And now that Matterport is now going into competition with its own customers that they’ve sold equipment to and that use their services, this is extremely off putting to me and a lot of other people within the industry and for that reason now a lot of people are moving away from...
How The Coronavirus Craze Will Change The Real Estate Market Forever andriystrebkov 5 5 yearsBrokerBruce (281): I've been looking hard at going to the Richo Theta V1. Much quicker scans than he Matterport set up. Take a look at EyeSpy 360 which has some examples with the newer cameras. Their tours have some features that definitely up the game in the 360 / 3D world.Check out the post on this site about the Best Cameras for 2020. https://youtu.be/QmtJbcncdZc
Can someone from Matterport call me to discuss a billing situation? JCHAFE 3 5 yearsJCHAFE (84): @Garnetwest Thanks Garnetwest At least its not a dispute per say, its just a few things I need looked into and resolved and it would be done considerably easier with a 5 minute phone call rather then typing a book via email every second day!
Considering 3D Virtual Tour Business PamelaHaley 11 5 yearsPamelaHaley (13): @wingman I didn't see the conversation screenshot yesterday. I see the discrepancy in how you feel about pricing has a lot to do with where we live. I'm not sure if it works in Australia, or whatever part of Australia you are in. Let's say, my 1,400 sq ft house in Georgia for sells for $130k. IF I go into the city of Atlanta, GA that same home is worth $200-300k. In Los Angeles, California, that same home is $400-650k. It's about all about the...

What to charge residential builders for Matterport? Shawn_P 2 5 yearsrzphotoman (1837): @Shawn_P That all depends on what significantly larger is. I have one client that gave me 150 homes last year, and he's on track to double that this year with his expanded team. The deal I have with him, and him only, is that that I don't bill by sq ft, I bill by number of scans. I have a flat rate for any homes up to 99 scans. If it's over 100 scans I charge an additional fee for that. I explain how Matterport pricing works and I basically...

Creating new portal BULLA66 4 5 yearsbryanhscott (843): @BULLA66 Your portal concept sounds like another way for a listing agent, or perhaps an unrepresented owner/seller to advertise a listing. Assuming your portal does bring the buyer, and further assuming the listing agent is under agreement with the owner/seller to offer a buyer-agent commission side, then you bring the buyer and get paid the buyer-agent commission at closing. This works if you, or someone on your team is licensed properly to...

Marking tours "private" Wonderdawg 2 5 yearsChemistrydoc (1930): It would be better if your account allows you to archive scans. THAT will reduce the number of tours for billing purposes, but is not available on the Traditional (Legacy) Account. Marking a scan as private does not affect the tour count. Best, Keith

Rumor... could it be true.... Changes in Marketing. Changesin3d 8 5 yearsChangesin3d (125): @jwbuckl Matterport has to be admired for keeping free speech open, but accurate? It is my understanding Mr. Chris P is an Matterport Ambassador, in the same way others are / were. I remember the discussion about one of the better known Ambassadors leaving (Chris H.) It is my understanding Ambassadors receive inside trade information before the rest of the MSP network, and benefits from their participation, such as advising on future company...
Marketing strategies for selling zillow 3D Home Tours - I need help. Mungo 2 5 yearsChemistrydoc (1930): @Mungo Good job in finding a niche! I've had incredible resonance with my clients with the Zillow 3D Home - NOT because of the beautiful photography (it's not), but because of the advantages that it achieves. You need to sell it as a marketing boost / enhancer. Let them know that for 1 week, they have preferred search placement, the home gets extra email blast treatment, etc. Get the exact facts from your Zillow contact and pitch those...

The Bull Market Back Off of 200 Scan Models VTLV 3 5 yearsOboldyrev (218): I posted this on MOUG but of course it was removed. This is my conclusion about all of this. Of course I am going to give huge shout out and thanks to Super Dee, who have helped tremendously with issues that arose with Matterport. That aside I honestly don't think Matteport cares about MSPs that much. According to RJPittman, the goal is to collect enough data where the AI can recognize correct depth from 2D images. At that point they will...
Get noticed and grow your brand tresdepro 1 5 yearstresdepro (385): There are plenty of strategies you can implement, but this one, in my opinion, is effortless. No many people realize that it's simple to get noticed. Let say you have a contract to scan a property; you go through your checklist: camera, tripod, battery charged, iPad charged, business card, etc. You get into your car and drive to the property, stopped by the gas station, the tank is full, grab a bottle of water and continue. You arrived at...

Are you a product seller or a service consultant? bryanhscott 3 5 yearsbryanhscott (843): @3DVirtuallyThere Got it on the target customer. Regarding being a product seller or a service consultant, my point was not about sales tax laws and their application to labor (services) or products (widgets). It was really more about methodology and procedure. In other words, when you walk into Walmart to shop for TVs, you have to already know what you want and why, because you will likely not get any real assistance from an employee. ...

If you get them on board you will be getting 10-20 jobs for every 1 you might get with an average agent. That said, I think there will be more willingness from the up and comers to invest in the added cost to win themselves some new business.

How to Grow (and Thrive) as a Matterport Service Provider DanSmigrod 3 6 yearsShakoure (568): While this heavily depends on your market location...as it should, it's also the commercial value of your service to the client, as it should.

If we, as MSPs, don't put more value on what we provide, then we can't expect the market to.

What is the point of being a MSP? 3SixtyNow 20 7 yearsBale100 (175): Agree, price fixing does not work.

Don't Use the Word Matterport in Marketing ChrisH 7 8 yearsMarcel (387): I dont really agree with hiding the Matterport name. I've had a MP for a long time +- 2.5 yrs. Initially I made the mistake of trying to hide the name Matterport. It didnt take off as customers were confused with all the choices. The market has been saturated for decades with '3D Tours' and '360 Tours' products. It was not until we started including the name Matterport that business started to boom.

Matterport Vs. Google Radie842 2 8 yearsjfantin (1733): MP and GSV are two different animals that happen to use similar concepts. In my opinion they complement each other but are not direct competitors because the value proposion is different. Quality is different and the navigation experience is superior with MP.

Success story w/MP other than real estate? oliverhuen 6 8 yearsDSPhoto (112): I agree with it being a cost of doing business but definitely feel, like images and videos, the licensing is in addition to the production. Licensing is based on how many people will view the work and should be priced accordingly while hosting is merely covering a cost. Actually, both should be charged or at-least hosting mentioned as a part of production. By not listing a yearly hosting fee your are selling yourself short. If the client...
Example of Matterport specific Proposal Cabrahams 2 8 yearsDSPhoto (112): I don't have a proposal to offer you but part of my consideration for using Matterport is how to license the work. If you are creating content to be used in marketing you have to license the use of the work for a specific amount of time. If not you will eventually pay for the hosting of your clients scan out of your own pocket. As for what that licensing fee should be? Good question.

Marketing Idea Queen_City_3D 10 9 yearsjimduquette (10): Items are always market to market. I ran a couple of properties on individual pages and had good traffic. We've had very good luck on the weekends with people texting in. At the end of the day, its all about lead capture. In an industry where we spend $1,000's/month on lead capture, getting 6-8 text ins every week off of 6-10 signs for $20/month is a good return on investment.

Same thing can be done easily by using a suitable travel template without struggling with complicated code. The link you have suggested is very helpful.

Retail Pricing davidpylyp 16 9 yearsccctucker (154): I definitely think this is a regional discussion. Here in Seattle, business is starting to pick up, but agents are a fickle bunch that either get it, or don't. We have a few that do it for all of the houses, and some that only use it for mil + homes. Either way, price is everything and we are at 250 base plus 100 per floor. The sq footage issue is a discussion that we would like to have, but it makes pricing convoluted and this just makes...

Feedback on Squarespace websites Using 3Ds? SummerMayhugh 12 10 yearsDoyleRealtor (513): Theirs includes the HD photos and floor plans in price. I owned a Matterport before, and was still hiring a professional photographer to shoot stills because the screen grabs from matterport weren't up to our standards. Now I'm getting everything all in one and am saving time by just having them do it. I do miss the doll house but in long run I believe this is a better consumer experience

I've been making these for a little under a year now so it's been a bit of time to get the techniques down. Always getting better at making them but each place and space is different and it's cool to see how they turn out. The other good thing is that people from anywhere in the world can just email them to me and they can be produced, packaged and sent back. Oh how good the...

New company vs. division of existing company BrettMtn 3 10 yearsJohnBecker (388): I can't see any need to split it off as a separate business, unless you have separate expenses or liabilities. Or if you employ someone to do the scans for you, whether as an employee or collaborator.
Expiring a showcase? BrettMtn 10 10 yearsDanSmigrod (31320): @BrettMtn depends :cool: 1. Clients often know; will use their number from marketing tools 2. Our FloorMe service (available to all) calculates SF 3. Measure in 3D Workshop (while time-consuming, we will do screen captures and proved to clients because they find it helpful) Obviously we all would prefer Matterport to calculate SF since many of us charge for our services this way.
