FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 13, 2017 Contact: April Gonzalez, Communications Manager Agonzalez@latterblum.com or 504-569-9450 Latter & Blum Launches Video Email & Text Platform (New Orleans) – Latter & Blum Inc. announced today that it has launched an enterprise-level video email and text platform to its base of 1,400 Agents in Louisiana and Mississippi. The new digital tool allows their Agents to create and send video messages embedded in the body of their email or through a text message. In turn, clients have the ability to view and respond by video or text on any smart device without the need for a special app or software. Latter & Blum is the first real estate company in the Gulf South to provide this market-leading communication tool for their sales force. The firm believes the new service will allow their agents to communicate more effectively with clients, while providing a unique communication method that enhances relationships. The platform will place Latter & Blum’s agents among a small tier of Realtors who currently use video email/text to communicate with clients. “We believe it is important for our Agents to develop a personal connection with clients,” stated Richard Haase, President of Latter & Blum Inc. “Our ability to connect with consumers digitally is a vital part of our business.
