Virtual tours are seeing growth in the field of residential real estate, but they continue to be underutilized by local businesses and entrepreneurs. Keeping a virtual catalogue of your property is a critical tool in marketing and inventorying. For daycares and preschools in particular, the benefit of virtual walkthroughs can't be overstated. Let's talk more about what a virtual tour can do for you. For a working example, scroll to the bottom of this post to check out one of our previous tours!
The biggest draw for active daycares and preschools is providing parents and guardians with a front-row view of your facilities. We all want the best for our children, and nothing could be more reassuring than a detailed look into where each child will be cared for. With a virtual tour, parents can walk the halls, visit the playground, and check out the story time corner. What this provides is peace of mind.
You'll also save valuable time on in-person tours and answering questions. By providing a walkthrough online, families can get a sense of your facilities before picking up the phone. Parents who then contact you will be enabled to ask more thorough and effective questions. They will appreciate this time-saving aspect on their end too — life with kids is always busy!
More than that, parents will appreciate the clear effort you've put into presenting your daycare or preschool. They want the best for their kids, and when you put your best foot forward and utilize technology to stand out from the crowd, you beat out the competition.
Speaking of beating out the competition, you'll gain more traffic from Google views when your virtual tour is attached to your Google Business Profile. When people search for daycares or preschools and see your name on the list, they'll be able to see the linked virtual tour and be more inclined to click.
Virtual tours are also a great way to future-proof. If you're ready to expand and open another branch, you will already have a virtual tour in your back pocket. If you're building the new facility, we can get you the CAD files from the first virtual tour, enabling you to build out the exact same floor plan as your first location; this not only saves time and effort when working with builders, but it means that your second location wouldn't even require a new virtual tour — you can share the exact same tour with the exact same floor plan. But hey, there's nothing wrong with another tour to showcase a new construction! Feel free to keep showing off!
Let's say you're expanding by acquiring a new location, but you're not doing any building. The original virtual tour is still a great way to show the structure, organization, and overall energy of the business you run. How you divide rooms by age group, what sort of play areas you keep, the art you foster and display in the hall: these are all an essential element of what makes your daycare or preschool unique!
Maybe you aren't opening any new locations, but you're ready to remodel or make some updates. Having the virtual tour is a great way to show contractors or other workers exactly where the problem is and how you'd like to fix it. We can provide you with CAD files that architects and designers use to plan and build properties. At CLE3D, we can even use these blueprints to build a 3D rendering of what your proposed space would look like once remodeling is complete.
