TourDash has successfully completed its transformation

As you all know, two months ago we introduced our New Business Model, changing from subscription based periodic license fees to one-off payments at substantial lower fees. All with the goal of enabling you to offer better propositions to your clients and reducing your administrative handling to a minimum.
It looks you like our changes! In the first two months a total number of 124 of our resellers have made it possible for 271 clients to present their store, shop, location, etc. using TourDash! We have welcomed 61 new resellers, so our new business model also attracts new Google TIP’s.
Furthermore we have worked and continue to work on our support desk. We are satisfied with the increase in response time but will keep on working on improving it, making sure you and your clients get the best service possible.
For the coming period, we will focus on what new features we want to create so if you guys have any suggestions, please email them to info@tourdash.com.
Thanks for your trust; you guys rock!
Since summer is all over Europe at the moment, let’s also bring the sun inside your home with this stunning flower tour!

TourDash SSL Hiccups

Hello Everyone,
we just wanted to quickly inform you on regarding what happened past weekend. During the weekend we experienced some difficulties related to our SSL which caused our services to respond with a message saying that our security credentials were not being recognised.
Depending on personal security settings some of you may or may not have experienced this message and may or may not have noticed TourDash tours not displaying.
Fortunately the matter was resolved in a whopping 47 minutes and this issue shouldn’t arise ever again. We do hope that you’ve not experienced any difficulties because of the matter but should this be the case please contact us at support@tourdash.com.
You’ll notice that the difficulties persist with http://support.tourdash.com though the site is still reachable. Any security warnings should expire within 7 days. We use an external support system which takes a bit longer to update security credentials.
In the mean time, as I pointed out above, contact support@tourdash.com should you have any questions and we will do our bests to assist you where we can.
Sincerely,
Team TourDash
Roswell Balentien
Product Manager

TourDash Multi-Tour

TourDash Platinum licenses will now have the ability to add an unrestricted amount of virtual tours into a single tour. This will allow you to create a large tour using several smaller tours. This feature is particularly useful when dealing with Hotels since they consist out a number of small tours.
Adding multiple tours to a single TourDash tour can be done through the advanced navigation feature.

1. Add a tour to TourDash
2. Create a navigation item to identify the primary tour
3. Use the drop-down and select ‘Add another tour’

You are still limited to the amount of hotspots in your license. If you feel like you need more hotspots. Please contact support@tourdash.com.
TourDash Multi-Tour is only available to Platinum licenses. If you have previously purchased a platinum license you will also have access to this update in your tour. Multi-Tour only works through adding a direct URL to the tour, do not paste your iFrame code, simply input the tour URL as if you were sharing it with someone.
For any questions related to the TourDash Multi-Tour Feature or for support with TourDash; Please contact support@tourdash.com.

Don't just say it, show it too!

It’s practically a cliche, but most businesses still choose to describe their company and products with words, instead of showing their business. Keeping in mind that the average page visit of the internet user lasts a little less than a minute, there is less to tell about your business. Luckily there is an answer to the question: “How do I extend my online visitor’s time on a webpage?”. So you can communicate everything needed to persuade them; by showing it!

“Capture and engage your audience”, that’s the key to success in 2014. With TourDash you not only show your business, to make it more appealing, it also allows you to interact with the visitor. While profiting from the online visitor’s focus, you can show everything. Your location, your products and your company- and contact information in an effective and unique way. This way you can gain several minutes of user attention, which is considerable and valuable time to make the difference in turning an online visitor into a customer.

So to stand out in the overcrowded online world, where time is a rare commodity, you need to be creative and efficacious to make the difference. TourDash provides you with the tool to do so. See how this success seeker already uses TourDash for the business.
