Meet Richard

Picture
I have owned several businesses in several different industries over the years.  Without exception, I was always looking for ways to increase my exposure to the market.   I learned from owning a car wash that location, signage and exterior appearance were all critical to get a new customer to drive in.  Today I couldn't afford that car wash site on that busy corner.  I  also couldn't get a permit for the monstrous rotating sign and the  banners and flags would be illegal.  Anyone who runs a retail brick and mortar (restaurants, beauty salon, gyms, etc.) business can relate with the increasing challenges of finding cost effective locations, signage and marketing aids to attract new customers.  See my personal "case study" ....

As an experienced businessman and marketer I have learned that I shouldn't underestimate the power, importance/and cost-effectiveness of using the internet and social media to promote almost anything.  

At this point in my business life my interests focus mostly on helping promote commercial real estate and retail businesses, especially retail businesses in highly 
competitive markets and that is why I love these particular marketing tools.  

​As an avid photographer I have taken 10s of thousands of photos of events, scenery,  people, architecture and businesses using both film and digital equipment.  The switch to digital has only increased the volume of picture taking.  360 Panoramic  digital imaging has been the most rewarding because the applications are almost limitless.

The Company

Picture
"Phototour" photography and the related "WIT" tours services were established by Richard Obendorf to help businesses market their properties,  products,  services, etc.  by capitalizing on photo driven technology that  puts a potential customer inside a property and allows them to look around by using just their computer or smart phone.  

​A 360-degree, interactive photo tour can be created to showcase all the interior details that a potential customer would love to see but can't adequately visualize with "flat" photos.  These images are hosted free on  Google Maps if they are part of a Google Streetview (See Inside) tour or for a non-qualifying business or property,  hosted on Amazon Cloud Services.   Any tour can easily be embed on your own website, social media pages, and more!   This cost effective marketing services are perfect for real estate,  restaurants, retail shops, gyms, salons, and more!
