Could a 360-degree virtual tour benefit your small business? Virtual tours give potential customers and clients an opportunity to walk through your space, learn about your business, and build trust with your brand. While real estate certainly makes up the bulk of virtual tour production, many businesses have found these tours to be essential to their marketing and overall web presence. Set your business apart from the rest by showcasing your space and your work with a professional 360-degree virtual tour.

Real Estate

Commercial and residential realtors are often the first to rave about how virtual tours have impacted their business.

• According to Realtor.com, listings with virtual tours get 87% more views than those without.

• The National Association of Realtors reports that 54% of potential property buyers won’t even look at a property unless they have the opportunity to tour it virtually.

• With many potential clients viewing properties virtually, it has reduced the time realtors spend on wasted viewings by 40%.

• Planet Home’s Trend Study reports that 360-degree real estate virtual tours affect buyer decision-making by up to 75%.

Venues, Retail, Salons, Hotels, and Restaurants/Bars

With the recent start-up surge, businesses are looking for innovative ways to increase engagement with their brand. Adding a virtual tour of your shop, venue, or service area can help build trust with customers. When potential customers and clients engage with your virtual environment they are invited to get a chance to visualize what you have worked so hard to create, enticing them to physically visit your space or inquire about your products. Younger customers and clients are especially influenced by the virtual tour feature. Customers aged 18-34 are 130% more likely to engage with a business if they have a virtual tour available to view.

Construction, Engineering, Architecture, and Facilities Management

Touring and monitoring a construction site, without ever leaving your office can save you and your business both time and money. 360-degree virtual experiences for site managers and associated stakeholders provide a fast and accurate assessment of a project and facilities. It also creates a visual record that is virtually (pun intended) indisputable to document progress and changes to a site.
