LAVAL, QUÉBEC–(Marketwired – June 9, 2017) – Urbanimmersive Inc. (“Urbanimmersive” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:UI)(OTC PINK:UBMRF), a real estate content marketing platform, is pleased to announce the signing of two (2) new Affiliate Program agreements with real estate photographer agencies for the use of Urbanimmersive’s visual content marketing platform for 100% of their real estate business transactions. New Affiliate vendors’ business transactions will take place on the platform and will grow Urbanimmersive’s top-line revenue. The Company will then take a transaction fee in line with its current pricing model on each transaction generated through its platform.
Urbanimmersive is also proud to announce that our first photographer agency located in Toronto, Elevated Photos Canada, is joining Urbanimmersive’s visual content Marketplace. The Company will continue to recruit visual content providers in Toronto with the objective of launching its Marketplace as soon as the number of providers reaches the proper threshold to ensure a successful launch.
The Company is also pleased to announce the launch of its new suite of products dedicated to photographers developed by Urbanimmersive, UiProHDR. This new suite of products will be offered to Urbanimmersive’s Affiliated photographers and aims at attracting new photographers in the program as an added value.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) Imaging is a widely used technology in real estate photography. HDR technologies reproduce a better dynamic range of luminosity than what is achievable with standard photographic techniques. There are several HDR softwares on the market, however, the Company believes its technology is the only solution available today that provides a fully integrated solution enabling control of the camera to clients’ orders management and images delivery. UiProHDR comes with a custom WIFI camera remote controller hardware and an integrated suite of software in Urbanimmersive marketing platform that increases photographers’ productivity and image quality.
“HDR technology is part of our DNA at Urbanimmersive,” stated Ghislain Lemire, CEO of Urbanimmersive. “Our immersive technology, AVU3D, used HDR since 2008 and therefore it was natural to use our expertise and intellectual property to bring this new solution to life. Our new UiProHDR solution is for real estate photographers who are unhappy dealing with multiple pieces of software and processes in order to produce a large volume of HDR images.” M. Lemire added, “With UiProHDR, our Affiliated Program is now offering photographers an HDR solution that will increase their productivity and reduce their cost while providing great real estate pictures. We expect this solution to contribute greatly in our photographers Affiliated Program adoption which already has a great reception on the market.”
As the Affiliated Program for photographers has now become part of Urbanimmersive’s ordinary business activities, the Company wishes to inform investors that it will no longer announce new Affiliate Agreements with photographers signed in Québec. This information will be contained in the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) in subsequent quarters. However, Urbanimmersive will continue to disclose new Affiliated Programs with vendors and partners for which the Company believes will mark important milestones in its growth strategy.
Since April 2017, the Company has signed seven (7) Affiliate agreements with visual content providers. The Affiliate Program is offered to visual content providers ready to use Urbanimmersive’s Marketplace for 100% of their real estate business transactions with existing and new customers. The program provides real estate photography agencies, photographers and 3D artists in Urbanimmersive’s Marketplace with increased marketing visibility while enabling them to effectively manage their internal operations and account receivables. The Affiliate Program offers a white label ordering interface, presenting only services offered by the agency or by other Marketplace content providers selected by the agency. It also provides a dashboard to manage bookings and payments from the incoming customer’s phone calls, emails and SMS. As part of the Affiliate Program, visual content providers become Urbanimmersive resellers of the Company’s internal products and services.
