Virtual tours have to be one of the best ways to sell a venue. Any normal website will have at least some photos of their venue and some sales text. Words and pictures might speak hundreds of words, but a 360 virtual tours speaks millions! There is nothing quite letting a web visitor use your virtual tour services and wander through and explore your venue as if they were there. So what sort of companies normally use a virtual tour on there website? Here are three examples of venues that would benefit from virtual tours.
For those that can afford it, virtual school tours are highly recommended. 360 tour companies are relatively inexpensive for the benefits a tour brings, however virtual tours are not likely to be seen on an average state school. A fee paying school is more likely to opt for this with the resources and need to fill desks. A 360 tour for a school will let the parents view before they en-roll their children. You can view everything from the sports hall to the science block. Being able to tour the purpose built gym for those parents with athletically gifted children has to be a winner!
Similarly universities would benefit from tours. Imagine a historic university being able to show off their architecture and history in all its glory. Universities have huge marketing budgets these days, with the riches to be had from taking on students. Having a tour will give any university website that edge over its competitors.
Hotels and conference centres were perhaps the first to make full use of tours. The quality of the tours weren’t that great. These days, the technology has make huge advances. A hotel with rich history can show itself off in its full glory. HD technology lets you tour the hotel and see every last detail. Appearance is everything for hotels. Would you be more impressed by a collection of photos, or a virtual tour.
Football has changed completely over the last ten years. You could once go and see your football team for the price of a pint. These days its cheaper to stay a night in a hotel! The astronomical wage structure in football means the companies owning the football clubs have to monetise and profit from every aspect of the club through merchandise and tours for example. A typical tour involves a visit of the dressing room, trophy room and the tunnel. Panoramic tours can replicate this experience brilliantly.
Whatever your venue, it is very likely a virtual tour on your website would be of great benefit. Finding a company isn’t difficult- there is lots of choice. Most virtual tour companies will even host the virtual tour for you, working with your website designer to integrate the tour on your website. Once done, all you need do is wait for your visitors to sample your venue, and then contact you to experience it in the flesh!
