FREQUENTly asked QUESTIONS
A virtual tour is a simulation of your real world business environment using sequences of immersive 3D media to give the viewer the opportunity to walk through your business from their mobile or desktop PC.
Our virtual tours are built to order and can include a variety of engagement options including dolls house views, linking hotspots to content such as videos, websites, music, narration, text and more + our virtual tours are fully hosted on the internet too.
Our virtual tours can be linked to your website, social media and Google Street View. Adding a virtual tour to your website has been shown to increase viewing times of 5-10 times, giving you more opportunity to develop a relationship with your visitor but in today's Covid-19 world, it also gives potential customers the opportunity to explore your business, venue, school or attraction from the comfort of their home helping to develop confidence in your business.
We need a organise a call to learn more about your business and your business layout, size etc. This we can do over the telephone to speed up the process of getting you booked into the diary for a convenient consultation & shoot. Prior to the shoot, we will send you a email with some questions you will need to answer and some things to prepare for the actual day of the 'shoot' like making sure there is access, lighting, decluttering (if needed), access to the information you want for your interactive elements and pre-shoot suggested cleaning.
Truthfully, how long is a piece of string. Until we know your business layout and size, we cannot predict how long the tour will take. For a small business, such as a beauty salon with maybe 2 rooms, we would advise that the consultation will take approximately 30 minutes, we would then do a walk through of your business to check lighting and determine camera positions and then progress to a 'shoot'. 2 Rooms allowing for collection of B-roll would normally take an hour, so for a small business 1.5 hours would be a good estimate.
We host the tour on our own virtual tour platform for a small monthly fee of £4.67 per month and provide you with shareable links for you to then embed the tour on a website, use the links to showcase your live tour on social media, send a link to open on a mobile device, tablet PC or on a VR Headset like Samsung Gear VR, Oculus Rift or Google Cardboard.
If you plan on getting the most from your virtual tour, consider upgrading to our Management Pack that includes up to 1 hour per month for tour amendments including updating hotspots with fresh content or changing hotspot media and links, tour backup and ongoing maintenance and support. Plus get an included FREE virtual tour reshoot every year (terms apply).
If your tour is under our support pack then just let us know what changes you want to make and as long as the change does not mean 'reshooting' the panoramas, these will be done for you. So items like changing the hotspots, email address for lead generation, swapping out interactive content or adding in fresh content, can be taken care of. If you require a 'reshoot' under our standard maintenance plan, you get a free reshoot every 12 months, so we can discuss implementing this early if needed. If you are not under a support plan then we would charge a fixed hourly rate for changes. Please speak to us about what needs doing and we will provide a cost.
If you take advantage of our Upgrade VR pack, you can also integrate live video chat into your virtual tour. When integrated you can share your screen directly with customers that you give the tour too and guide them around your virtual environment and interact with them live, on-screen. The possibilities to boost sales have just stepped up a gear, imagine being able to sell products directly from your virtual tour to your customers from your screen? Showcase a particular event space, room, car, caravan, house, resort or talk through a feature of your business, so that your message comes through loud and clear or provide pre-sales advice to guide your visitor down the path you want them to take. It's all here when you upgrade to live-chat.
We will display your business name, location and contact information on your virtual tour and include a dedicated email capture form for you to collect customer details. Turn your virtual tour into a lead generation machine with email message collection and rerouting to a chosen email address included.
A interactive hotspot is a location marker within your tour that when clicked on will open a message window. This customisable link could be used to pull viewers attention to special features, offers, menu elements, hyperlinks and video content. All of our tours have these capabilities available as standard.
Street View, by Google Maps is essentially a basic virtual tour that features directly from within Google itself. Take the customer beyond the limits of viewing a photograph by giving them video access into your store, bar, restaurant, hotel, house, car showroom, gym or any other local business, straight from Google Maps. Street View tours do not include hotspots and so we would advise looking to perhaps upgrade to a full virtual tour to benefit from all the features our tours possess.
