In Kate’s introduction to the Test Valley on 30th January, she has referred to the global activity generated through our TV internet site www.penyards.tv. For those of you who are not aware this is a unique product exclusive to Penyards in Hampshire . No other agent across our region can offer this facility and it therefore is only of the benefit to Penyards clients and globabl purchasers.

It is often a talked about facility and one that is perhaps a little less understood than normal media. What it enables us to do is to promote a property with an entirely diifferent style of presentation unrivalled by ordinary websites. It offers a professionaly made narrated video walkthrough with each property sponsored by some very high profile and international brands including Sunseeker, Jaguar and Bang & Olufsen to name but a few. It also gives interactive access to our luxury lifestyle magazine in addition to the 20,000 copies that are distributed by other means. But by going to the pages of the magazine on line you can bring to life all of the articles and features from the latest car to the recipe of the week, fashion and travel ideas amongst many and of course all of the properties contained within the magazine. This is an identical facility to that of our interactive Newsletter which is produced on the first day of every month and submitted to over 50,000 prospects on that day, which on January 1st was read by nearly 5,000 people in the first 24 hours.

I would confidently predict that this is the way the way ahead for estate agency in the future . It will supersede ordinary sites like Rightmove and Primelocation and introduce a more interesting dynamic to the way that properties are promoted. The difference is that Penyards have this technology today.

Not wishing to duplicate what has already been said on this front cover but we are now seeking to undertake an increase in our national advertising with some features in the Financial Times FT weekend and The Telegraph. During the course of this year we will also host four promotional campaigns out of our London office specifically targeted at the London audience. The theme will be very much based around the popular tv series Escape to the Country and is likely to attract a most significant and discerning audience and we will be delighted to ensure that your country house is featured through all o f these media options in addition of course to all of the other services available from all of our offices including of course the, now, five individual editions of our ‘Inspire’ newspaper supplements. Which provides exposure for all of our offices which today has increased to seven, in two weeks time will be eight and offices nine and ten will be ready for the summer.
