Dear Business Owner,
Streetview for Businesses is a new concept by Google which enables online visitors to take a virtual tour inside your business in conjunction with Google maps and your Google+ Local page.
I am a Google Trusted Photographer, trained by Google to carry out the panoramic photography, followed by processing and publishing of the virtual tour to Google maps and your Google+ Local page. In addition, I do a set of straightforward “Points of Interest” pictures, also for publishing to your Google page. The virtual tour (and POI photos) can easily be incorporated in your own company website and social media pages once they are published on your Google+ page.
This service is inexpensive (a one-off payment to the photographer), and all photos become the property of the business owner. The photography takes one or two hours (depending on the size of your business) and the work is normally published within the following ten days. Hosting on Google maps and + Local is free-of-charge.
Around the world, over 100,000 businesses have availed of this new Google feature. See:

My service, comprising panoramic and “Points of Interest” photography followed by uploading, digital processing, tagging (of POI photos), connecting to streetview and publishing to Google maps and Google+ Local page is all subject to Google’s strict procedures and quality control. You can therefore always be assured of excellent results.
Please note: For processing and publishing of a Google virtual tour your business needs to be registered as a local business on Google maps. Also, registering a Google+ Local page for your business is highly recommended..
For information about registering for Google maps and Google+ Local, if you have not already (both are straightforward and free of charge), see: http://www.google.com/
I hope you may be interested in this opportunity for your business.
If you have any questions, or to book a photography session please contact me.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
