Thank you. William Johnson!
As soon as I saw the PhotoFunia app, I just knew I had to try it on one of Mike Jones' stunning desert images. I love PhotoFunia!
What can be fun and practical for real estate professionals to give as a gift to our clients? I learned of a marvelous resource at SMMCamp that I started to use over the weekend. Here is the very first effort that took all of about 3 minutes.
This free program can turn any photo into a pencil drawing or a variety of many other effects.
The program is called Photofunia. Before you dismiss this as just another cool resource and forget about it, allow me to share with you a couple of wonderful ideas of how you might implement this tool into your real estate marketing efforts. Here is an idea you can use for clients who have pets. Take a photo of their pets and turn it into something suitable for framing.
What if you took photo of all the homes in your farm, turned them into drawings and mailed each one of your farm an 8x10 of their home compliments of you. No obligation and no real cost to you except for some nice heavy flyer paper, a bit of ink and maybe a stamp.
What if you took it to the next level and actually dropped it off under the premise that you had someone do these for you and you wanted each homeowner in your farm to have it because it is suitable for framing.
No worries about bad house colors, homes or fences that need painting, yellowing grass, what have you. Any home in almost any condition turned into a drawing would look pretty good.
Another idea would be to use the pencil drawing to make up post cards of your listing. The front side could be the custom looking drawing and the back a smaller full color shot. It is different and stands out as such.
Some of the affects are really wonderful for your pet or taking a photo of a clients pet. This program makes for an interesting way of changing any photo into something special. So give it a try and let your imagination show you some of the creative ways of using this great little resource. And have fun with it. I think you see some great ways to enjoy this.
