For some time, we have been investigating the best way to display video of your used boats on the web without it costing the earth, or being complicated to arrange. YachtWorld has found the solution, incorporating the data you have already entered in to BoatWizard!

Our new video brochures use the latest “text to speech” technology to create a video combining the text and photos you have already put in www.boatwizard.com and the language of your choice! These professional-quality presentations combine background music, audio narration and video-like effects using your still photos of the boat. You simply select which images to use, the panning direction, the language of the narrator and the background music. It’s all done in about three minutes and in recent trials, boats on our sites with video brochures produced up to 40% more enquiries to the listing broker!

To prove it, you can now create video brochures for all your listings and monitor the effect they have on your enquiries using the BoatWizard TRAFFIC REPORTER. To get you started, we are creating a video for one of your boats right now and will email you when it is live. At the same time, you will receive a simple guide to creating video brochures for all your other listings.

So that we can get your feedback, the video service is free of charge until 1st September. Towards the end of your free trial, we will contact you about continuing with the service. The cost is just £25 (€35) per month for all your boats. In the meantime, get ready for your first boat going live late this week!
