Making Money Idea of the Week #10: Offering Matterport Features as Add Ons

Hi All,

New Year's Resolution: Stop giving it away free!

Just because Matterport offers features for free (or charges), does not mean that you need to give it away free or charge the same amount that Matterport charges you.

As a Matterport Service Provider, what Matterport features could you offer as Add Ons (rather than in a bundle or your base price)?

For inspiration, here’s a Matterport Add On Checklist of Matterport provided services (and related) that you might want to offer as Add Ons rather than include in your base price or bundle:

Matterport Add On Check List

1. Hosting
2. 2D SnapShots (from Matterport 3D Tour)
3. 2D SnapShots enhanced (edited)

Other than hosting, you don’t need to mention any of the above in your meeting or quote.

For example, assuming that the auto-generated videos come out okay, post them to YouTube and send the Client a link. $39 for one video or $49 for both videos. (Even if they don't buy, your client will now know that you offer this service as an Add On. Emphasis on how the Add On will help in their next pitch to win the listing. Do NOT email you a long list of Add Ons: three at most in any one email.

Which Matterport features that you could switch to Add On rather than include in your basic price or bundle?

For inspiration for other Add Ons to differentiate your business - and make more money - please see 3rd Party Services tab (above). Examples include:

1. Single Property Website
2. enhanced floor plans
3. digital virtual staging
4. Photo Editing
5. Video Editing
6. Digital Twilight

By the way, here's how I recommend that you routinely quote potential new clients (because it is not just about price):
