In the world of real estate, property showcasing is crucial. For real estate agents, it’s essential to stand out from the crowd and offer innovative, interactive media. Calaméo offers you interesting features and powerful integrations to enrich your documents and attract the attention of your prospects. In this article, we present three must-have integrations for real estate agents on Calaméo: Leaflet, Calendly and YouTube.
1. Add interactive maps with Leaflet
One of the most useful features for real estate agents is the integration of interactive maps. Thanks to Leaflet, an open source JavaScript library for interactive maps, you can add dynamic maps directly to your Calaméo publications.
Imagine presenting a property with an integrated interactive map. Your prospects can view the exact location, explore the neighborhood, and even get additional information such as schools, public transport, and nearby shops. This interactivity makes your publications more attractive and informative, increasing your readers’ interest and facilitating decision-making.
Organizing visits and appointments is an essential part of a real estate agent’s job. Integrating Calendly into your Calaméo publications simplifies this process by enabling your prospects to book appointments directly from your publication.
With Calendly, you can insert an interactive calendar into your publications: magazines, fact sheets, brochures or catalogs. Your prospects can see your availability in real time and book an appointment in just a few clicks. This not only enhances the user experience, but also optimizes your time management. By integrating Calendly, you eliminate the need to go back and forth by email or phone, and make the appointment-setting process smoother and more efficient.
Videos are a powerful way of showcasing a property in an immersive way. Integrating YouTube videos into your Calaméo publications brings your properties to life by showing guided tours, room panoramas, and specific points of interest.
By adding YouTube videos, you offer your prospects a rich and engaging visual experience. They can explore the details of the property as if they were there, which can be decisive in their decision-making. Videos can convey more emotion and dynamism than static photos, reinforcing the impact of your presentation. What’s more, YouTube videos can be easily shared, increasing the reach of your content.
Calaméo offers real estate agents powerful tools to make their digital publications more interactive and engaging. By integrating interactive maps with Leaflet, appointment calendars with Calendly, and presentation videos with YouTube, you can transform your documents into true multimedia experiences.
These integrations not only captivate your prospects, but also simplify their buying journey. Adopt these tools today to optimize your presentations and increase your chances of closing sales.
There’s a big change happening on Calaméo in 2021. That’s right—our new and improved “2021” viewer theme has launched. Find out everything you need to know about the “2021” theme!
What is the “2021” theme?
The “2021” theme is a new viewer interface for your publications on Calaméo. It should look familiar: we’ve based “2021” on the classic “Default” option. But the new theme offers you lots of improvements. First and foremost, our tech team has rebuilt the viewer for maximum comfort, usability and efficiency. You’ll notice that browsing is smoother, close reading is easier and—of course—that your publications look great.
What’s new?
Here are just a few of the updates you’ll enjoy in the “2021” theme:
More space for your documents in the viewer
Publisher’s choice of Book, Slide or Scroll mode
Improved navigation tools
Helpful Index mode to access thumbnails at a glance
Larger, streamlined buttons and icons
Intuitive zoom controls
New “Made with Calaméo” viewer watermark
Cohesive mobile experience
We think you’ll find “2021” simple to use, with the great features you’re used to like in-text search, custom logos and direct downloads. Check out an example below to see the new theme in action!
Can I still use the classic Calaméo themes?
If you are a PREMIUM or PLATINUM user, you can continue to use the classic Calaméo themes with your publications. To select a theme, go to the Design tab of your publication’s properties. Next, choose the theme you wish to use from the drop-down menu. Finally, click the green “PUBLISH” button to save your selection.
BASIC users do not have access to the classic Calaméo themes. However, BASIC users are free to define Book, Slide or Scroll mode for their publications in the “2021” theme.
What about changing the background?
Changing the viewer background is a feature exclusive to our PREMIUM and PLATINUM plans. As a result, BASIC users may not modify the background color or image in the “2021” theme.
PREMIUM and PLATINUM users should see no disruption to their existing publications and customization elements. You can make use of your custom logos, backgrounds and viewer themes as usual! For those planning to choose “2021” for upcoming publications, it’s important to be aware that your logo will be automatically resized in this theme. Therefore, we recommend using a horizontal version of your logo, in .PNG format with a transparent background.
Please note that BASIC users will no longer be able to display custom backgrounds for their publications.
What else do I need to know?
We’re delighted to be bringing the “2021” theme to all of our users and we hope that you find it modern, practical and fun. While you’re getting to know the new theme, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns! You can write to us at contact@calameo.com or visit our Help Center to submit a request.
