How can companies take potential clients or customers on property tours and site visits in the age of social distancing?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re in education, real estate, or the health sector, you know it\u2019s not as simple as ordering a few extra bottles of hand sanitizer and calling it a day. As with so many new developments in the last few months, technology offers a solution: virtual tours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtual tours help your customers completely immerse themselves in a space, making them feel welcome and much more engaged. Virtual tours have been used successfully as a conversion tool for overseas education programs and property buyers for years, as potential buyers and students explored potential campuses and homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social distancing has pushed virtual tours definitively into the mainstream, and businesses are starting to see the potential. The technology makes it simple\u2014taking your potential customers on a virtual tour of your business, campus or property can be as easy as tapping on a smartphone, or as immersive as a full 360\u00b0 VR experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At York &amp; Chapel, we understand how tours impact the entire business. They generate interest, help recruitment, and convert leads into customers. By switching to virtual tours, you can bring your space to life in the most convenient, cost-effective way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id='so-why-are-virtual-tours-the-right-decision-for-your-business'  id=\"boomdevs_1\" ><b>So why are virtual tours the right decision for your business?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 id='1-virtual-tours-are-socially-distant'  id=\"boomdevs_2\" ><b>1. Virtual tours are socially distant<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social distancing is a priority for both businesses and consumers right now. By developing a virtual tour, you can meet the ever-changing needs of consumers and health guidelines without compromising quality or safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 id='2-virtual-tours-fit-into-your-customer-s-schedule'  id=\"boomdevs_3\" ><b>2. Virtual tours fit into your customer\u2019s schedule<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With conflicting schedules, last-minute cancellations, and rearranging appointments, in-person tours pose a major logistical challenge for any business, even more so in the current climate. Virtual tours allow prospective clients, customers or students around the country (or around the world) to experience your business or campus on their time, on a schedule that works for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 id='3-virtual-tours-are-easy-to-produce'  id=\"boomdevs_4\" ><b>3. Virtual tours are easy to produce<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All you need is a camera. Granted, it\u2019s a special kind of camera, but the process of creating a virtual tour is surprisingly simple. The final product can be as simple as a 360\u00b0 guided video through your building, or an interactive, campus-wide experience led by the charismatic face of your company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 id='4-virtual-tours-enhance-your-sales-process'  id=\"boomdevs_5\" ><b>4.

Not only will your company save hundreds of hours on in-person tours, but you are also creating a new, compelling digital sales tool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 id='5-virtual-tours-are-interactive-and-engaging'  id=\"boomdevs_6\" ><b>5. Virtual tours are interactive and engaging<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phones and laptops are fundamental to the way we consume information and content, whether it\u2019s news, messages, or funny cat videos.
