Do 360 Virtual Tours Work?

Do 360 Virtual Tours Work?

Hi,

As it approaches the end of the year, we have been looking back over 2011 and looking at what has been achieved. It is always easy to sit back and congratulate yourselves on a job well done, but in the end it is not what we think that matters, it is what the property owners think.

So with this in mind I took a little peek at the viewing statistics on The Virtual Cottage Company, which as you know is part of the 360Virtual-Tours family of websites. Do 360 Virtual Tours work?

This chart make some interesting viewing, and demonstrates the value of having a virtual tour on your website. (The property Number is the Listing number as shown on The Virtual Cottage Company )

Average Monthly Viewings

As time goes by The Virtual Cottage Company increases in its visibility, via Facebook, Twitter as well as organic Search Engine optimisation. We are already on page1 Google for a number of search criteria. Viewings will continue to increase and with more viewings come more bookings.

As someone once said, having a website, without promoting it, is like having a fancy TV advert, without buying “air time”. So it is with Holiday Cottage owners. If you have a website, HAVE A 360 VIRTUAL TOUR and have it listed on The Virtual Cottage Company to help in your cottage promotion and gain more bookings.

With that in mind may we take this opportunity to thank our customers for Virtual Tour commissions in 2011, and wish you all a prosperous 2012.

360 Virtual Tours – UK’s No. 1 Virtual Tour provider?

Written by 360vts
360 Virtual Tours – UK’s No. 1 Virtual Tour provider?

Hi Readers,

Are we THE No. 1 VIRTUAL TOUR PROVIDER IN THE UK? Are we THE MARKET LEADER?

We have all seen those adverts / websites claiming to be No.1 or the Market Leader.  Have we asked the questions:

  • Leaders at what?
  • No 1 for doing what?
Those that claim these dubious titles, do they justify what they claim? How do they know they are No.1? What evidence do they provide to back up their claims… We can all claim to be No. 1, we can all claim to be Market Leaders… but there is only room at the top for one company.

At 360Virtual-Tours.net, we do not claim to be No. 1   We do not claim to be market leaders.

We simply get on with the business in hand, in providing a first class service, high quality product at extremely competitive prices. We have provided virtual tours for over 800 properties, all having multiple scenes, floor plans etc. We also have a growing list of satisfied clients.

Are we No.1? Are we Market Leaders?     Who cares? We certainly don’t care about status. We only care about giving total satisfaction to our clients. In the end, that is all that matters. Happy Customers.

Nice Customers of 360 Virtual Tours

Nice Customers of 360 Virtual Tours

Hi Readers,

You all know that feeling when you have done a good job. However, its nothing compared to when your customers tell you you have done a good job.

In the past couple of weeks we have had such wonderful comments from our satisfied clients. “Thank you for your expertise” Thanks for a wonderful job” etc. Makes you glow….

Well we have had a very busy couple of weeks and it continues. Schools, cottages, public government offices you name it, we get it done. With around 20 cottages to do, we will be busy processing for a while, long hours over the computer.

None of it would be worth it if you didnt get the occasional “pat on the back”

A big “Thank you” to our clients. You know who you are.

360 virtual tours 48 hours a day?

360 virtual tours 48 hours a day?

Hi Readers,

So much to do, so little time. If only we could have 48 hours a day….

In addition to www.360virtual-tours.net we also run www.360virtual-tours.co.uk, www.simplezwebdesign.co.uk and www.virtualcottagecompany.com.

The SEO for all these takes its time, but we are also expanding our services to our Virtual Tour clients.
Smart Phone /iPhone/iPad virtual tours are available, so are tours compatible with Facebook. Video versions of Virtual Tours for YouTube are just about ready for launch, and we have a new website under development. We are also looking into a new area which is under wraps for the moment.

Mind you, its still just the background work we have to do in addition to our main activity in providing quality 360 Virtual Tours at extremely competitive prices, for our growing list of clients.

Thank goodness for caffeine…. roll on 48 hours a day.

360 VW Festival, Harewood House.

Hi Guys,

Despite concerns regarding the weather, the sun shone, I got a some much needed colour, and a great day was had by all…. Where? Harewood House. The 2011 VW Festival. So many VW’s in so many colours shapes and sizes… great day for not only “Petrol Heads” but the whole family.

360 Virtual Tours were there to record the event in glorious 360 panoramic style, and the Virtual Tours will be available shortly.

Well done to Paul and the Team. Looking forward to 2012

More School Virtual Tours

More School Virtual Tours

Hi readers,

Yet more schools are adding 360 virtual tours to their websites.

In the past two weeks we have completed 2 more school 360 virtual tours, and there are more to come.
The addition of a virtual tour to a school website provides so much more “information” regarding the school and is invaluable in:

. Displaying the entire school to current parents, family and pupils.
. Attracting new children and families to the school.
. Enabling associated overseas schools to see what the school looks like.
. Demonstrates the schools willingness to keep up with internet technology.
. Proudly demonstrates to the local community the schools facilities

Im sure there are many other reasons too, but for now, thats it….

Bunkhouse Accommodation Virtual Tours

Written by 360vts
Bunkhouse Accommodation Virtual Tours

Hi.

As I mentioned in my last posting, we were down in Wales again the other week. I had the opportunity of photographing 3 more Bunkhouses in and around South Wales and The Brecon Beacons.

With all the financial news, doom and gloom merchants and those with their glasses half empty, perhaps we should consider Bunkhouses as a way of getting away for an inexpensive holiday.

They are great places to stay, in beautiful locations, run by lovely people and provide the opportunity of meeting other people in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere.

Gone are the days of basic “subsistance living” in a bunkhouse, with little more than a “bothy”. Bunkhouses these days can be really lovely places, well equipped and comfortable.

Have a look at these 3 Bunkhouses we did the other week. You will see what I mean.

Hardingsdown Bunkhouse, Gower Penninsula

Glynmeddig Bunkhouse, Near Sennybridge

Absolute Adventure, Nr Abercraf

Why not give a bunkhouse a try….

Still here!

Hi Friends,

Yes we are still here, although it has been a while since our last post.
With more “mouths to feed” in the family of 360 Virtual Tours, it is keeping us busy.

Since our last post we have completed another school “Whitstable Church of England Aided Primary School” , Low Penhowe Bed and Breakfast and its two Holiday cottages, Hatfield House Bed and Breakfast in Llandudno as well as several holiday cottages for North Wales Holiday Cottages. In addition we have been busy adding more holiday cottages and Bed and Breakfasts to the new directory. The Virtual Cottage Company as well as frantically working on its search engine optimisation.

Never a dull moment in this business.

So sorry if you have missed us, but often at the end of the day, I simply forget to BLOG…

Off to Wales again this coming week, more Bunkhouses, cottages etc… no peace for the Virtual Tour Photographer……

Bye for now.
