APAMAN Launches Support Program for Franchisees to Adopt 'Ray-Ban Meta' Smart Glasses

APAMAN Co., Ltd. (Headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Kai Yamazaki), the leader in both the number of stores and contracts in the residential rental brokerage industry, has launched a support initiative for its franchisees to adopt 'Ray-Ban Meta' smart glasses, a product developed by Ray-Ban and Meta.

Under this program, the headquarters will subsidize a portion of the adoption cost for interested franchise companies, limited to one unit per company. The goal is to verify and support the potential of utilizing this new device for property showcases, SNS content creation, and information sharing in sales activities.

Background of the Initiative In recent years, more customers are collecting information through websites, SNS, videos, and online channels before visiting real estate stores. There is a growing demand for more specific and easy-to-understand information, such as the atmosphere of rooms, living traffic lines, neighborhood environments, and staff-perspective tours, which are difficult to convey through property photos alone.

APAMAN has been committed to improving pre-visit information delivery and service quality through SNS seminars, online customer service support, and content utilization support for franchisees.

This support initiative is part of these ongoing efforts to expand the possibilities for franchisees to utilize new devices in property showcases and SNS outreach, thereby enriching information delivery prior to customer visits.

Overview - Start Date: Monday, May 25, 2026 - Target: Interested Apamanshop franchisees - Details: Headquarters to subsidize a portion of adoption costs for one unit per company - Key Use Cases: Property showcasing, neighborhood introductions, SNS content shooting, and information sharing in sales activities

Future Outlook This initiative is positioned as one of the steps to improve the quality of property showcasing, SNS outreach, and pre-visit information delivery for franchise companies. Moving forward, the company will collect usage data from franchisees to verify potential expansion into property video showcases, neighborhood introductions, and other pre-visit information services.
