As businesses continue to look for innovative ways to showcase their wares and stand out from the crowd, virtual tours are becoming an increasingly popular tool in the marketing toolkit of savvy business owners across the globe. Indeed even in our own local town, forward thinking businesses are recognising the huge value that a virtual tour can bring to help showcase their business to potential customers.
Take, for example, these local businesses - Visionary Accountants, BubbleHub, Trestle Arts Base and St Villa Restaurant - who’ve all embraced this unique technology to create a ‘digital twin’ for their business that gives potential customers a unique opportunity to step inside their business and enjoy a unique ‘walk through’ experience that really brings their businesses to life. So what are the benefi ts of creating these unique ‘digital twins’ for a business and why is it that savvy business owners are starting to embrace this unique technology as an important part of the marketing mix for their business?
We spoke to the local team from Immersive Walkthroughs to fi nd out why virtual tours are becoming a key part of the marketing mix for many small businesses. Here’s four reasons why they felt they were seeing an uplift in these type of marketing requests...
A virtual tour will grab your customer’s attention
In this competitive online world, your business is vying to grab the attention of your potential customers. Statistics have shown that websites with virtual tours are viewed 5-10 times longer than those without. A virtual tour also helps instil extra confi dence in your business as customers will love seeing where you work and naturally feel more affi nity with a business that they can see.
A virtual tour increases traffi c and engagement
According to a study by BIA/Kelsey, 97% of consumers go online prior to making a purchase to research products and services locally. Whatever the business, whether retail, offi ces or service industry, the evidence suggests that more people will be willing to purchase or work with you if they have taken a look at you online and know who you are.
Creating a virtual tour is quick and easy
A virtual tour has a strong ‘wow’ factor but the great news is you don’t need any technical expertise to use them. We do all the ‘heavy lifting’ in terms of creating the virtual tour and 3D models and then once it’s live we simply provide you with a web code snippet to drop onto your website along with a direct link to the tour too. Plus your virtual tour can be integrated into Google Street view as well if needed which really helps maximise your online presence and visibility too.
You can use virtual tours in almost any business
There are so many businesses that can benefi t from a virtual tour. In the past we’ve created virtual tours for offi ces, estate agents, theatres, shops, meeting rooms, hotels, construction companies, furniture shops, car showrooms, care homes, gyms, boats and even private jets! The possibilities really are endless.
